The Ultimate Girl Power Workout Playlist
Though the idea of working out isn’t every babes idea of a good time, I have yet to meet one person who doesn’t feel amazing and empowered once it’s done. There’s simply no better feeling than finishing a kickass workout that tested your limits. You feel accomplished, high off endorphins, and honestly, hot. That being said, no matter what your personal fitness level is, finding motivation to get out the door and push through the workout is a struggle for all of us at some point or another. Even with working out being my favorite hobby, I’d be lying if I said I was jumping at the sound of my 5am alarm every morning. Music is the best way to get some motivation. Here is the ultimate girl power workout playlist!!
1. I’m Coming Out – Diana Ross
Ok, you just walked into the gym or you are tying the laces of you running shoes–I’m Coming Out is the throwback that will initiate a good flow of energy
2. I Wanna Dance with Somebody – Whitney Huston
I’m imagining a good cardio sesh, maybe a treadmill warm-up to this one by Whitney. Happy, light, but sung by an iconic #girlboss.
3. Run The World – Beyonce
Ok, warm-up is over and now you are sweating (glistening). The “fun” is over and you need something a little more sassy. Queen B’s gottcha covered.
4. We Can’t Stop – Miley Cyrus
Whether you are a fan of the “New Miley” or not, you can’t deny her girl power. Use it to your bod’s advantage and blast this one to keep you in the zone.
5. Can’t Hold Us Down – Christina Aguilera
Motivational, sassy, and preaching the truth. I may or may not have sung the lyrics to this one aloud in the weight room.
6. Work B*tch – Britney Spears
Britney is a fighter. She has been extremely open about her personal struggles and has picked herself up with gusto time and time again. This song speaks to the truth. WORK for it.
7. Feeling Myself – Beyonce
You should be feeling yourself when you are pushing through a tough workout!!
8. It Ain’t Me – Selena Gomez & Kygo
Selena and Kygo are a match made in heaven. The chorus keeps me in a focused state of mind, making it easier to power though my sets.
9. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun – Cydni Lauper
Ok, a little more that half-way through and you are grappling for energy–this iconic favorite is bound to up the serotonin levels fast (happy hormone) and overshadow the pain!
10. So Good – Destiny’s Child
Back to sass with the ultimate girl power group!
11. Survivor – Christina Aguilera
Homestretch!! You are almost there and you are a SURVIVOR! Play this one during any point in your workout as a motivating reminder.
12. Sunshine – The Knocks Remix
The endorphins have taken over at this point and you are loving the sweat again–only feel good songs allowed now, and this remix by the Knocks speaks for itself.
13. Hand’s to Myself – Selena Gomez
Selena round two because any of her songs are worthy of this girl power playlist–this one is an especially workout friendly song!
14. This Girl – The Kungs Vs Cookin’ on 3 Burners
This funky and carefree hit from 2016 is the perfect cool down song. The title alone speaks for itself–“this girl” just finished her last rep, “this girl” can accomplish anything!
