in Motivation and Support
I am always curious about what type of music people listen to while they are doing some sort of activity like running,weight training,cardio, etc. I change it up sometimes but I always end back to the house music pumpin through my ear buds.
What do some of you listen to?

    Sun King by State of Mind is best song for a good quick run! Starts slow and then tempo gets faster. Good for intervals!

    Beyonce is pretty good if you need to push yourself a little harder and also Outkast.
    Otherwise, I listen to my regular genres of music so Radiohead, Muse, Two Door Cinema Club, Mumford & Sons, etc.
    But if I need an extra push, I bust out some serious pop music.

    Skrillex, linkin park, pitbull, shakira, maroon 5, Britney Spears, dead mause, David guetta, Nicky minaj, queen, led zeppelin. I have a pretty eclectic playlist for working out, but having something different during a run really keeps me motivated and going strong!
