50 More Songs For Your Workout Playlist

In October I put out a pretty solid workout playlist. Now it's been two months, and chances are you're getting tired of listening to those same songs (tip: if you know what song is going to come on next before it starts, you've been listening to it for too long).

Here's December's gym playlist to keep you focused and pumped up while you work out during the holidays.

And no, there are no Christmas songs on the playlist. Lifting to "Santa Baby" really doesn't work for anyone.

For The Warm Up

Warm up for your workout, and warm up from the cold (except in Florida, where it is a burning cesspool year round)

For Cardio

Maybe it's nice enough to run outside where you live. Imagine yourself running away from your crazy family members, or running to the store to buy a present that your picky sibling only just told you they wanted the day before Christmas.

For Strength Training

Compliments cardio well, and helps burn fat so you don't have to miss out on those holiday goodies

For The Cool Down

Take this step SERIOUSLY. Not only for your physical well-being, but for your mental well-being when you return home to your crazy family visiting for the holidays.

For Stretching

Take your last few moments to relax and remember all the good parts about the holidays. The food, and the food, and the good times with your family when everyone is asleep, and the food.


Even if it isn't the holidays, exercise is a great way to stay on top of your health and de-stress. Nothing motivates me more than a great playlist, so maybe these tunes will get you up and running too. Happy Holidays, friends!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
