Best Workout Songs of 2012

I don’t know what you like to listen to when you exercise, but I do need something that gets my blood going. You know, those really descriptive songs that tell you exactly what you need to do? Yes, those. The ones that you try to sing along to but have no idea what the musician is saying. Basically, angry music.

Getting through a tough workout can be, well, tough. But your music affects your energy level too, and so your playlist could be the difference between you completing your routine, or faltering halfway. I do not change my workout music as often as I’d like, but there are some songs that I know will get me through a tough workout. It does change every year, and since we just started the year, I thought I’d share some of the music that got me through some tough runs in 2012.

Pink – Blow Me One Last Kiss
Neon Trees – Everybody Talks
Calvin Harris and Florence Welch – Sweet Nothing
Kanye West – Clique
Cher Lloyd – Want you Back
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – Thrift Shop
Rihanna & Chris Brown – Birthday Cake
Maroon 5 – One More Night
Psy – Gangnam Style
Usher – Scream
Linkin Park – Burn it Down
Adele – Rumor Has it

So if you were looking for some great angry music to punch that bag to, there you go! What was on your workout playlist for 2012?

Cheers Eights & Weights!
