Spotify my workouts!

I don't know what music or tunes people use during their time at the gym or how you go about acquiring said music but I just joined Spotify and I'm liking it!  I'm kind of a music junky and I really enjoy finding new bands and songs but sometimes with itunes you can rack up one hell of a bill so I had to limit my new music, sad face!  Let's just say when I signed up I loaded my iphone up with songs/albums/artists like crazy and they have given me a little kick start in my workouts!  So I was just going to post some of my favorites!  They range through lots of genres and types so maybe you already have these tunes on your playlists or maybe you don't but they are worth checking out to see if they fit your fancy!

1.  Calvin Harris- Drinking From the Bottle:  Fabulous song for cardio and gets me ready to sprint!

2.  Shwayze- Get U Home:  I've had a few songs by them before but this one is def a faster beat and good for cardio and lifting!  Makes me think of pool party times!

3.  ZZ Ward- Put the gun down:  A soulful vintage voice with upbeat drums in the background.  The second that bass drum line starts I'm ready to go!
 
4.  Fall Out Boy- My Song Know What You Did in the Dark:  Fall out boy and their notoriously long song title names but the beat is good and built for cardio!

5.  Imagine Dragons- Radioactive:  I'm loving everything by Imagine Dragons!  Awesome beats and vocals, like a mix between EDM style electronic beats and some hip hop kind of moments.  Pretty dang good!

6.  Imagine Dragons- It's Time (Passion Pit remix):  Mixing two of my favorite songs of the moment into an interesting mashup!  Good for moments where the resistance on my cardio machine is a little higher, helps me power through those tough moments!

7.  Passion Pit- Sleepyhead:  I am enjoying everything from Passion Pit!!  But this song is kind of fun and a different range of sound that is nice to hear on my workouts and when I'm cruising around running errands!

8.  Pumped up Kicks- Foster the People (Remix):  I'm digging this remix, not so much for cardio but it has good moments when lifting weights for sure!

9.  2 Chainz-  I'm Different:  I love the beat of this song, makes me want to bounce around and do some cardio.  And it instantly ups my street cred :)

10.  Calvin Harris-  Sweet Nothing:  Nothing like an EDM mix with a fabulous female voice for the hook with one hell of a club mix behind it, this can def help you build your cardio as you go!

11.  No Doubt- (seriously any songs):  I've been on this No Doubt kick and I think it's because Gwen Stefani seriously looks as good now as she did at 19!  I'm reliving Tragic Kingdom and Rock Steady albums with some Push and Shove album mixed in.

12.  The Royal Concert- World On Fire:  Awesome drum beat throughout the song helps me keep pace throughout the workout!

13.  Los Rakas- (anything by them):  This is one band I've had on my playlist for awhile but I love some spanish hip hop songs and they have cool beats as well no matter if you speak spanish or not you can def vibe with this band!

For right now these are the new songs in my mix with other songs that I love as well!  My cardio mix is only one of four current playlists right now (the other three are a singer/songwriter based and then more of electronic happy beats and the last one is a hip hop playlist.  Next on the list I need to build my country music playlist)  If you have any suggestions for music I'm always open to hear about them!  I hope that you have an upbeat kind of day with music by your side!

Cheers and happy listening!
