Fitness Friday #9: workout playlist

Its Friday!! What better way to end your work week than with a little exercise. I know that sometimes if the music you listen to doesnt motivate you to run that extra mile or do that last set of squats then your workout wont feel as successful.

 
We all need that musical boost to get us through those workouts so I wanted to share mine with you! I use Spotify to build  different playlists for different moods including a workout playlist. 

I included songs that are somewhat upbeat and/or lyrically motivating. I usually run about a mile twice a week and the playlist is probably long enough for a 2.5 to 3 mile run at my pace. 

 I have spotify premium which is $10 a month for unlimited access and I think its def worth it especially for those people who arent able to get every new song that comes out and 9 out 10 spotify will have it. You can always use itunes or any other program in which you can create your own playlist specific for what you want. 

Have fun during your next workout! :)

Hugs and love

it heals my soul

a five letter word that can do so much...MUSIC

Currently listening to Soulmate-Natasha Beddingfield...volume to the max drowning out my thoughts and negative vibes. With music I have a chance to travel to my own world where everything is perfect, the worries of reality and problems of the day dont exist and I am at peace.
All the things that troubled me no longer do as the words of the song seem to match the emotion and feeling that I was having, letting me know that "...I'm not the only one..."

Next on the playlist...Teach me a lesson-Robin Thicke, A lil bit-Drake feat Lykke Li and Starstruck-Santogold. Three totally different songs and yet it is still a smooth transition from one to the next...the beats make that place in my mind thats HECTIC and OVERWHELMED calm and carefree. Music is a drug gets me and lets me forget about my lows. Cheers-Rihanna and Sacred Temple-N.E.R.D gives me happy feet lol and then dancing becomes my thang! even though I have to sometimes be considerate when it comes to my family and them not necessarily wanting to hear the same music im listening to lol, i cant help but turn it up louder so that I can feel the music through my body!

Peace Happiness and Sanity from my speakers to my soul :)

Hugs and ℒℴѵℯ!
