10 Best Songs to Work Out to
Fashion February 16, 2017Music always makes or breaks my work out! The other day I realized I forgot headphones on my way to the gym and had to turn around to get them. Working out without music is only okay when you have a girlfriend (or husband) to sweat with. I am skip happy on Pandora and have my go to songs that I love to listen to. So I thought I would share some!! I just have to give a disclaimer that some of these have swear words so if you are young then maybe check for a clean version ;) there are clean versions for almost all of these.
- Eve - Let Me Blow Ya Mind
- Kanye West - Skinhead
- Kanye West - POWER
- Wale ft. Lady Gaga - Chillin
- Method Man - Da Rockwilder
- Kanye West & Jay Z - Who Gon Stop Me - not a good youtube version - better off buying it
- Ginuwine - Pony
- Cam'Ron - Oh Boy (long intro - skip to :29)
- Biggie Smalls - Hypnotize
- LL Cool J - Headsprung

Love your list. I also love the Kanye West – POWER, Wale ft. Lady Gaga – Chillin. Nice choice
Music is the best way to stressed-out and we should keep ourself stressful during gym so it becomes very important to have music during gym. http://bit.ly/2lG087H
I have the hardest time finding music to work out to! I need to add all these songs to my playlist!
Not the music I thought you would be into 😂 Love it
You should update us on your workouts!! What are you doing these days?
I have been using the bikini body guide by Kayla Itsines, I love it!! https://www.kaylaitsines.com/collections/guides
What kinds of workouts do you do?
I have been loving the bikini body guide by Kayla Itsines, they’re quick but very high intensity exercises 🙂
Amber, can you do a series on you becoming your own boss! I’m currently in the beginning stages of being my own boss, but need some direction. I look up to your journey, just need to know more about it!! hahaha I just need my first break, maybe like a collaboration or sponsorship. I still put myself out there, just no bites yet. Please consider making a Boss Series, Barefoot Blonde style!! 🙂 .

I am the same way – I have to have my music at the gym! I was on the treadmill the other night and my earbuds wouldn’t stay in my ears…I was like no!! I’ll add these jams to my playlist 🙂

Ironically I have to listen to old school rap and hip hop when I workout – makes me feel like a tough BA haha

I’m not usually into dance music but when I’m in the gym it’s pretty much all I listen to. The whole Watch the Throne album is great to work out to as well!

I also have Da Rockwilder on my work out playlist. A couple other jams you may want to check out:
Battle Flag- Lo Fidelity Allstars
Starboy- The Weeknd & Daft Punk Version
Yes, that last one is a much more recent jam, BUT it’s got such a good base line and beat it always pumps me up when I’m on the elliptical or doing intervals.

Yes to everything except Kanye to be honest! But good selection otherwise!

OH MY GOODNESS, this is GOLD! I have been listening to the “2000s Hip Hip” station on Pandora for like 7 years to work out to. I’ve been looking for another great station but can’t find one that compares. This one seems to be it, thank you so much!!! Plus I’m downloading your list to my spotify, thanks girl!
Such a big yes to this playlist! On a side note, I loved your feature in The Atlantic—I am so impressed by what you and David have accomplished with Barefoot Blonde. It’s very inspiring!

Love it! A good workout playlist really does make the difference! I also love “24k Magic” by Bruno Mars, “That’s My Girl” by Fifth Harmony, and “Capsize” by FRENSHIP. I’m always on the hunt for new songs!

LOVE all these songs!! Hey – quick question about your Adidas Superstar shoes….are they any smaller than your normal shoe size? I keep getting mixed reviews and would like to order some 🙂 Thank you so much Amber!!!
Work out jams are SO important to me too. Totally gets me in the mood to do the whole work out thing, and I have deff turned back to grab headphones before too 😂
Thanks for the recommendation! Good work out songs are always so important and they really do help you get a good workout!

I haven’t heard Chillin since college! This one is definitely going to go on my workout playlist today! My personal favorites are usually Rihanna or Ellie Goulding.
