10 Workout Playlists to Energize Your Workout

August 19, 2015 by Julie 36 Comments

Good morning to you! I hope your Wednesday is off to a good start. I’ve been up with Chase since 5 a.m. but the early start to the day meant we were able to get outside and walk before it was too hot outside, so there’s a silver lining to our early wake up time. Even though I’m taking it easy and allowing myself lots of time to recover after birth, I’m still enjoying listening to upbeat music (and podcasts!) on my daily walks with Sadie and Chase. I’ve included 10 workout playlists to energize your workout that I really enjoy.

I’m not going to lie, it’s a little hard to hear some of my favorite group exercise songs when I’m walking since it makes me want to work up a serious sweat and get back to teaching, but I know it’s important to give my body time to recover right now and the gym will always be there once I’m in a better place to kick up my fitness regimen again. All in good time, right!?

In the meantime, I hope this post gives you guys some ideas for upbeat songs that you might want to add to your next workout playlist. I’ve compiled 10 of my favorite workout playlists that I’ve previously shared on the blog and put them in one spot for easy reference! Hopefully a few songs will jump out at you an help invigorate your next sweat session. Enjoy!

    Thanks for sharing Julie! I’m always looking for new songs to help me get motivated to work out. I’m glad to hear you’re taking it slow and not jumping right into working out again. The gym will always be there for you! My current favorite music for running is Yellow Claw- its a trio from Netherlands and it’s perfect for working out!

    Not really a pumped up workout song – but I am loving ending my spin class with Andy Grammer’s “Back Home” – it is the perfect cool down song!

    Thanks for the playlists – always looking for new music to enhance my workouts 🙂

    (In all your free time 😉 ) you should make spotify playlists for us to follow you on! Clearly not a priority now, I’m sure, but a fun thought for one day of boredom 🙂

    Right now I’m really into Stole the Show by Kygo, Intoxicated by Martin Solveig and Runaway (U & I) by Galantis. Anytime they come on during a workout it pumps me up!

    Awesome job staying active but not too active after having Chase (who is adorable!). While not the same thing as giving birth, I hurt my knee and my exercise is restricted right now. I find it hard to not go full force as well,when my head and the rest of my body want to so badly! Thanks for sharing the playlist! I can’t wait to be able to use them when I get back to regular exercise!

    I would love to see a post about what your first few days with Chase were/are now like – I know you did one already, but I’d love to see kind of what your “schedule” looks like with your newborn 🙂 I know it changes everyday, and will for several weeks though! Also, my go-to for finding playlist songs is often on Spotify’s new music lists, I am always scoping them out when I have free time at work 🙂

    I sometimes get stuck in a rut with my music and listen to the same songs over and over, so I am loving all these new ideas! My current favorite song is “chandelier” by Sia Shaun. I did a workout to it this morning!

    While I listen to plenty of music my default songs for my running mix for the last several years has been as follows (the beats and timing help me stay motivated, as well as change intervals):

    Black Eyed Peas – Pump It
    Britney Spears – Piece of Me
    Britney Spears – Break the Ice
    Flo-Rida – In The Ayer
    Justin Timberlake – SexyBack
    Kanye West – Stronger
    Kevin Rudolf – Let It Rock
    Lil Mama – Shawty Get Loose
    Ludacris – Money Maker
    Metro Station – Shake It
    Black Eye Peas – Let’s Get It Started
    Black Eye Peas – Don’t Lie
    Lady Gaga – Just Dance
    Coldplay – Viva la Vida
    Avril Lavigne – What The Hell
    Kelly Clarkson – Stronger
    Kanye West – Gold Digger
    Fergie – Glamorous

    I saw plenty of songs above that I need to listen to again to think about adding to my playlist. 🙂 Can’t wait to check them out!

    Have you read things about working out and breastfeeding. If you are doing intense workouts, lactic acid can form in your breast milk and your baby may refuse it. You have all the time in the world to workout! Don’t rush to get back to it. I worried a lot after my baby was born..certain foods and medicines can come through your breast milk and pass on to your baby. I was overly cautious but I didn’t want to take any risks. Good luck hope Chase is getting big!

    Love that you have a mix of older and newer songs. I love when an older song comes on my iPod mid run because I had forgotten how much I love it. Currently I am obsessed with Galantis Peanut Butter Jelly, it’s super upbeat and I find myself dancing to it (when I’m working out in the garage, not in public, haha)

    All in good time, indeed! Take all the time you need to recover. I know it’s a standard 6 week postpartum dr visit that clears us, but do not be surprised if you don’t feel completely back to normal by then. It takes time. It can take months…that’s something no one tells you. I didn’t go for a run until 9 weeks pp. It just didn’t feel right for me until then. And, it took more time for other things to feel normal again, too. (not going to go into TMI territory) I’m sure you feel pressure to get back into it being a healthy living blogger and instructor, but take your time. It’s worth it 🙂

    This is perfect since I am training for a half marathon in January! I am always looking for new music to add to my playlist. My current favorite workout song is “fight song” by Rachel platten. It always makes me run faster!
