12 Best Songs To Pump You Up For Your Workout

The Spring Break festivities officially commence in less than 2 weeks, and it appears as though everyone on campus is preparing for this vacation. Over the course of the past month, Trudy Fitness Center and Gate Fitness classes have been completely packed with many students stating that they are attempting to get "bikini body ready." Though I do not agree with this concept, which is a whole separate Odyssey article topic in itself, I do support an active and healthy lifestyle with a balance of healthy eating and exercise, with cheat meals and drinks included of course. As we all know, sometimes getting yourself pumped about working out can prove to be quite challenging. Whether it's an intense cardio session or a shorter HIIT strength training workout, the prospect of working out sometimes just really sucks. However, the perfect music playlist can make working out both enjoyable and desirable. The music list below is a surefire way to get yourself both excited and maintain the same spirit and determination throughout the duration of your workout.

1. "Who's That Chick?" Rihanna and David Guetta

An oldie, but a goodie.

2. "Deep Down Low" by Valentino Khan

Great for strength training and squats!

3. "Peanut Butter Jelly" by Galantis

Just so you can work up your appetite for that delicious peanut butter jelly sandwich post-workout.

4. "Again" Fetty Wap

A little bit slower pace, but great to sing along to with and distract yourself pretending you're not working out.

5. "Jealous (The Rooftop Boys Remix)" Nick Jonas and The Rooftop Boys

Nick Jonas' dreamy voice will always elevate your mood.

6. "Roses [Zaxx Remix" The Chainsmokers feat. ROZES

The BEST song to keep you going on the treadmill, elliptical or bike.

7. "In Too Deep [Kazum Remix]" Sum 41

The 90s never die.

8. "Kanye [Reece Low Remix]" The Chainsmokers feat. sirenXX

Even though I think most of us can agree we don't want to be like Kanye.

9. "Easy Love" Sigala

Also great if you love throwbacks with its incorporation of the Jackson 5 and a very young Michael Jackson

10. "I'm an Alboatroz [KillHertz Remix]" AronChupa

This song will give you the power and strength of an actual albatross.

11. "Reflections [Milkman Remix]" Misterwives

Run your heart away with this breakup anthem.

12. "We Are Young (Alvin Risk Remix)" Fun. feat. Janelle Monae

A true millennial anthem.

13. "Lose Yourself" Eminem

By far the most cliche and oldest song on this list, but there is nothing that pumps you up more than a good uplifting, confidence-inducing song.

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.
