Twerk it Out! My Favorite Work Out Music

One thing I love about summer is how motivating it is to work out / exercise! I guess wearing minimal clothes, not to mention seeing yourself in a bikini all the time, is a great driving force. In winter when I'm constantly in yoga pants and hoodies I definitely don't hit the gym / pavement as much. 

For me, the biggest factor that goes into a good run is my music. Not kidding, if I am at the end of a run and my Workout Playlist doesn't shuffle to a good song it is the deciding factor to stop. And on the other hand, if I am near the end of my goal (say 4 miles) and ready to stop but a good song comes on I keep going! Before I go up a hill I prepare a "favorite" song to help me. When I am done with cardio and lifting weights, the same theory applies. A good song motivates me to keep going a couple reps when I might have been ready to mosey over to the water fountain. Music seriously effects my workouts so much.

Unfortunately, I have days where I hate every song on my playlist, and it is so frustrating. I also have complete music ADD I tend to change songs every minute or so and get bored / annoyed so quickly. Because of this I am constantly looking for new songs to add my Workout Playlist to keep me interested and keep me running longer!
