Yesterday I discussed the importance of having fun while you are working on your fitness goals. One of my #1 essentials making it through a grueling workout is an energetic playlist. Not only do the great tunes keep me happy but the beat of the music forces me to up my intensity which equal a better workout.
I have an entirely too gigantic music collection to throw the entire thing on shuffle during a workout. Also, I wouldn't want to go from Survivor – Eye of the Tiger to Ray LaMontagne – Let It Be Me. Don’t get me wrong, I love Ray LaMontagne but I don’t see myself getting a personal best with him playing through my headphones.
For now I have been keeping my playlists around an hour long (that is around the length of my long runs). I am hoping to have to increase the time (due to the increased run) by the time I’m ready for my next playlist.
I love sharing so I included my playlist for you, maybe you’ll like a few songs and add it to yours. Know a great song you think I should add? Do you love your playlist? Please leave it in the comment section for ideas for my next playlist.
