8 Pump-Up-Worthy Pop Songs That Work Out As Workout Jams

There's not much to write here except, "Work it...out!" Enjoy this mini playlist that include some recent exercise bops that I've been listening to during my morning runs.

1. "NASA" by Ariana Grande

This song, and the rest of the bass-driven tracks from Ariana Grande's latest album "thank u, next" provide a great source of exercising to the beat of music. Do a three-minute plank every time the beat drops, and 25 jumping backs every time her vocals go Mariah-Carey-style.

2. "No Way!" by Bazzi

Bazzi's newest single is a total confidence booster. He just maintains this happy-go-lucky singing voice that makes you forget he's singing about the woes of romance, and makes you remember that you're so precious when you smile.

3. "1999" by Charli XCX & Troye Sivan

Okay, what more do you need than two iconic pop-stars collaborating on this pop masterpiece? A great workout routine to go with it, of course!

4. "Cut To The Feeling" by Carly Rae Jepsen

Because Carly Rae Jepsen sings more than just her iconic bop "Call Me Maybe" and doesn't get enough credit for doing so.

5. "Motivation" by Normani

Listen to this when you need motivation to run that extra mile.

6. "Death By A Thousand Cuts" by Taylor Swift

During Taylor Swift's transition away from producing country music, I'm not sure if she ever foresaw her songs being played while performing a five-rep weight set. Either way, besides the radio-play-heavy songs "ME!" and "You Need To Calm Down", tracks like this one off of her newest album "Lover" provide the ideal volume-blasters that help ease the physical stress of working out.

7. "I Warned Myself" by Charlie Puth

There's nothing like the hardships of love to get you going at the gym.

8. "Slide Away" by Miley Cyrus

I feel like after experiencing so many lifestyle phases in recent years, Miley Cyrus has reached a point of just chilling, and the sound of this song exemplifies exactly that. Listen to this as your cool-down song, and feel accomplished that your workout is complete!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
