It is finally feeling more like spring in the Midwest (aka we no longer have a negative wind chill), and now is the perfect time to spruce up your workout playlist. Whether you're running outside or hitting the gym this spring, make sure you check out these songs to keep you pumped while you're exercising.
Sugar – Maroon 5
Not as upbeat as some of the songs on this list, Sugar is a great song to warm-up or stretch to. Most importantly, this song made the list because of its adorable music video that I can't stop watching – definitely check it out if you haven't already.
Shut Up and Dance – WALK THE MOON
WALK THE MOON basically wants you to shut up and get moving, which is exactly what you should be doing at the gym. As the song suggests, “don't you dare look back, just keep your eyes on me," and that 'me' is the beach body you've always wanted.
Want to Want Me – Jason Derulo
My newest song obsession, Jason Derulo is like an angel from heaven serenading you as you workout to this song. All he wants is for you to want him and that should be more than enough motivation to keep moving.
Talking Body – Tove Lo
The fact that Tove Lo says that “you've got a perfect (body)" in this song creates motivation to make your body that much better. Push yourself to train harder and make your body that much better.
We Got the World – Icona Pop
Definitely a throwback since this song was released almost two years ago, this song will keep you motivated to keep pushing through your workout because after this workout you'll be able to do anything, like conquer the world.
Ghost – Ella Henderson
Another new chart-topper, Ella Henderson describes a relationship gone bad in her song, Ghost. You might be able to relate, pull from this past pain, and gain the strength to keep pushing through.
7/11 – Beyoncé
This list wouldn't be complete without a song by Queen B, so cue 7/11. Per usual Beyoncé fashion, this song is pretty fierce. 7/11 is one of her newer songs and will keep you moving throughout your run or lift.
i – Kendrick Lamar
This song is nothing but good vibes as Kendrick Lamar encourages you to love yourself and the skin you're in. Be confident in yourself, and you'll definitely see results at the gym.
Nobody to Love – Sigma
Nobody to Love is the perfect last “working song" to help you push through the final parts of your workout. Its high tempo and EDM-esque beat will motivate you to finish strong and feel good about what you've accomplished at the gym. Maybe the new hot body you get from this workout will give you somebody to love.
Goodbye – Who Is Fancy
A little slower paced, Goodbye makes for a great cool down song. Say goodbye to all the calories you burned, because you're finally done with your workout.
