The Perfect Playlist
April 12, 2017
Speaking of workout motivation, few things top the list more than a great set of jams to power you through a tough workout or cardio session. Whether you are tired, preoccupied, or just plain unmotivated, amazing music can really pick you up by the boot straps and make you push harder through that last lap/set. That being said, here are the songs that always find their way onto our playlists whenever we are getting our cardio or lifting on. Our tastes are eclectic, as you'll see here!
Top 15 - Cardio
When it comes to firing us up, we need songs with a driving baseline and a fast tempo. You can't sprint to just any old song, and music with a fierce beat is what keeps us going the distance.
