| Great Music = Good Workout! Image: Shutterstock |
I don’t know about you, but for me great music can be the
difference between a good and a bad workout. Going for a run is nice and all
that, but with music it feels inspiring. Lifting weights (for me) is incredibly
boring, but add in some intense music and I feel way more powerful.
I recently joined a yoga studio, and one of the deciding
factors was that this yoga studio in particular plays great music at a healthy
volume. I’m not talking about your
normal flowy yoga music. I’m talking about Radiohead, Daft Punk, and a
multitude of other music. It makes me feel strong, inspired, and ready to push
myself. Sit me in a hot yoga studio without music, and I’m far less excited.

For me, the best music to work out to falls in one of two
categories: current musical obsessions (Ellie Goulding, Robyn, Lindsey
Stirling) and music from my teenage years (Blink-182, Foo Fighters, Third Eye
Blind). Sometimes the two categories cross over, if I still listen to the same
band from back then (Radiohead, Daft Punk, Muse). And sometimes I just like
some random song—this often happens with electronic music, since I don’t
generally listen to that genre as a whole (I’m very picky when it comes to
liking techno).
What kind of music gets you up and moving? Is it heavy
metal? Hard rock? Pop? Techno? Dubstep? 90s? We all have our different musical
tastes and preferences, but I’m always looking to add new tunes to my repertoire.
