It’s been a while since I updated my playlist, so I thought it was about time to freshen things up! Music really helps with my motivation in the gym and gives me an extra boost of energy to make it through some really tough workouts. As you know from previous videos, I prefer faster paced and upbeat dance music when I’m training .. so I’m sure you might recognize from some of my longer Real Workout videos 🙂
Here are some of my recent favorites. What are some of yours? Let me know and I’ll check them out!
Blame – Calvin Harris
I love this song. Calvin Harris is a great artist and a go-to for good upbeat songs
Rather Be – Clean Bandit
When I first heard this song I was unsure about it- but it is one of those songs where the more you hear it the more you enjoy it. It make driving an hr to the airport much more enjoyable lol
Hideaway- Kiesza
This song reminds me of when I used to listen to Paula Abdul for some reason. Making up dances in my basement with my girlfriends. Totally late 80s early 90s.
Take Me ft Kyler England – Tiesto
I like running in the morning to this song. A lot of times in the morning I will just listen to Pandora and this song comes on a lot.
Now or Never – Tritonal ft Phoebe Ryan
This is a great training song. Very motivating!
City of Dreams- Alesso & Dirty South
BPM on Sirius radio plays this song a lot. Not many words, but again, I just like the way this song feels. This is the kind of song that gets me off my butt and puts me in a good mood for the day.
Great ideas to add to the routine ipod!! Thanks

> “I Am The Best” by 2NE1
Log in to replyHey Nicole! Can you recommend a decent over-the-ear pair of headphones for training? I’m tired of my earbud wire being tangled on everything, but am worried about headphones being damaged by sweat. Yours look awesome. Thanks!
Log in to replyHeadphones are made with the intention of sweat getting on them. I like my beats by dre.
Log in to replyCan you do a segment on wireless headphones and music? I use pandora and skip songs a lot and I don’t think you can do that with wireless beats! I love the wireless concept but not sure how using the phone works and skipping over songs. Thanks Nicole!
Log in to replyYou can use pandora with any headphones. It never skips on me- it could be your ipod.
