Looking back it was quite the year!
Here are the Top Ten Songs that frequented my iPod while I was in the gym in 2013.
I can’t help but feel to include a disclaimer with this one: this list is in totally random order and therefore not even numbered. The list is no one’s opinion but my own – I love a wide variety of music and respect that you probably have your own style and taste as well. That being said, I’ve selected the songs that I like – the songs that, when they came on my playlist, I could usually get 1-2 more reps or finish that last lap with a little quicker step. I also prefer the clean, edited versions to anything explicit; it’s just who I am. Hope you enjoy!
Love the throwback style on this song – anything throwback to MJ (his early stuff) is alright by me!
Guaranteed to help you finish your last 2 minutes on the treadmill!
Smooth throwback sound to the 70’s.
Full disclosure – I’m a One Direction fan. I know there’s support groups for people like me out there somewhere…
Anything that screams “I am a champion” and “you’re gonna hear me roar” immediately puts me in the mood for one more rep.
Full disclosure #2: I am a country boy! Growing up in northern Utah I kind of had to (yes I have been cow-tipping). Mix some Florida Georgia line with a throwback artist to my junior year of high school and I’m there! You have to check out the remix version of this song!
Feels like I’m on stage while lifting – I live for the applause.
She’s angry at her man – gets me angry at my weights. I don’t know…
I love the Imagine Dragons – this one made the list for (more or less) putting them on my map.
Lift “like the ceiling can’t hold [you]”… and I usually do when this one comes on!
I know, I know – it got a lot of flack this year for reasons I don’t want to discuss in this post. But you can’t argue with the beat! This one definitely gets stuck in your head!

Seriously, I have all these songs on my workout Playlist on my phone. This is crazy. lol. I also love Up in the Air by 30 seconds to Mars. You should hear it.
Delma-
Totally just added it to my list! Thanks for the tip!

So, I’ve been thinking about my favorite songs and this is what I’ve got.
Roar is by far my favorite for absolutely everything!
Sexy and I Know It – LMFAO
Pump it Up – Danzel (but I think the class I go to must use a remix or something. It’s more upbeat than the youtube one I found)
There were a couple others but of course I can’t remember now 🙂
Nicole,
I totally forgot LMFAO! Most everything they did was great for cardio. I’m secure enough to admit my liking One Direction; I haven’t got there yet with Katie Perry (Roar, right?). Maybe one day… 🙂 Thanks for the comment!
