Hi loves! Today, I’ll be sharing the best workout songs and the playlist I listen too while working out. Here is also an inside look to my diet and workout. 

I’m not big on the whole Spotify/Apple Music playlist, I like to create my own playlist. I buy the songs and just create a playlist to my mood for the workout. Truly, I think the songs playing either motivate me to work harder or to just have fun. So it helps me either push myself or just get through it.

I love using headphones that cover my ears, for some reason the small (fit in your ears) headphones just end up falling out. I bought a cheap one on Amazon that covers my ears and stays on my head during a run or at home workout. 

CrossFit Workout 

At our gym, we all get a say in the music and it’s usually a more rock feel to push you. Usually some Fall Out Boy, Blink 182, Breaking Benjamin, Linking Park, etc. 

Best Workout Songs:

• What I’ve Done – Linkin Park
• Somewhere I Belong- Linkin Park
• Los Angeles- Blink 182
• In the End- Linkin Park
• Bored to Death- Blink 192
• I Will Not Bow- Breaking Benjamin
• Gold Steps- Neck Deep
• The Diary of Jane- Breaking Benjamin
• Centuries- Fall Out Boy
• Burn It Down- Linkin Park

This playlist literally pushes me so hard and to dig deeper each grueling CrossFit workout. Each round as it gets harder, the songs just have a beat to help you just dig deeper and keep going. 

Cardio Workouts 

For a cardio workout, I tend to play different songs that just I can sing along with. Songs that allow me to feel like I’m not running for 5 miles. Cardio is my absolute worst, no matter how hard I try to fix it. My best workout songs consists of many rap/hip hop songs. 

Favorites:

• God’s Plan- Drake
• No Limit- G Eazy (last mile song)
• Freaky Friday- Lil Dicky
• Chun-Li- Nikki Minaj
• The Middle – Zedd
• Electricity- Silk City
• Ayo- Chris Brown
• Fight for You- Jason Deluro
• Finesse – Bruno Mars ft. Cardi B
• I’m The One- DJ Khaled
• Nice for What- Drake
• We Found Love- Rihanna
• We Own It- 2 Chainz and Wiz Khalifa
• Wolves- Selena Gomez
• Wild Thoughts- DJ Khaled
• Work B*tch- Britney Spears

Something about these songs just make the run feel a LOT less painful. I feel like you can kind of listen while you’re running and just because it’s a radio favorite you just sing along and the next thing you know you’re done running. These are definitely my best workout songs to run too.

At-Home Playlist

When I’m at home and can’t make it to the gym but want to do a more weigh workout and not just cardio, I usually create my own workout for a specific body part. For these workouts, I tend to like a more fun, upbeat, sound. I tend to let my Spanish side come out here, because my best workout songs for this workout is all Latin. It’s fun, upbeat, and you can always catch a quick dance break in between sets.

Latin Flavor:

• Danza Kuduro- Don Omar
• Gasolina- Daddy Yankee
• Despacito- Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber
• La Gozadera- Gente de Zona
• Llamado de Emergencia- Daddy Yankee
• Con Calma- Daddy Yankee
• Taki Taki- DJ Snake
• Bailando – Enrique Iglesias
• Como Sigo Sin Ti- Flavia Laos (Peruvian singer)
• Reggaeton- J Balvin
• Dinero- Jennifer Lopez
• HP – Maluma
• Mala Mia- Maluma
• Sexy Movimiento- Wisin y Yandel
• Rakata- Wisin y Yandel
• Contra La Pared- Sean Paul and J Blavin

All these songs make me just have fun, let loose and in between sets, there’s always room for a little #nevernotdancing moment. 

Let me know what songs you guys like in the comments below! I’m always looking for new songs to add and help motivate me. 

XOXO
