When All Else Fails Playlist

October 28, 2015 by Julie 26 Comments

Music has the ability to seriously energize me during a workout. An upbeat playlist does wonders for my workout motivation, but some days I have a harder time getting into the groove and losing myself in the music than others. And that’s where this playlist comes in!

Energizing Playlist

This workout playlist is my go-to playlist for days when my motivation is waning and I need a little help getting in the zone. When I cannot seem to pump myself up, the songs on this playlist generally do the trick and after a few minutes of sweatin’ it out, I can typically feel my energy levels increase as I get lost in the music and crank out a solid workout thanks to a rockin’ playlist.

I call this my “When All Else Fails Playlist” because it usually works to help me feel motivated when nothing else does! I hope a few of the songs from my playlist might find their way onto your next workout playlist and help you get in the zone, too!

When All Else Fails Playlist

  • Jack U (feat. Kieza) – Take U There
  • Steve Aoki, Chris Lake & Tujamo – Delirious (Boneless)
  • Eric Prydz – Call On Me
  • Avicii & Sebastien Drums – My Feelings For You
  • Bingo Players – Cry (Just A Little)
  • Calvin Harris (feat. Florence Welch) – Sweet Nothing
  • DJ Snake & Lil Jon – Turn Down For What
  • Rudimental – Feel The Love
  • Pitbull – Fireball
  • Zedd (feat. Foxes) – Clarity
  • Martin Solveig – Intoxicated
  • Martin Solveig & Dragonette – Big In Japan
  • Black Eyed Peas – Hey Mama
  • Benny Benassi – Cinema (Skrillex Remix)
  • David Guetta & Chris Willis – Gettin’ Over You
  • Monsta – Holdin’ On (Skrillex & Nero Remix)
  • KLM Music – I Need A Miracle
  • Manian – Ravers In The UK
  • Fort Minor – Remember The Name
  • Usher – Scream
  • David Guetta – When Love Takes Over

And just in case you’re looking for a new workout to try while blasting your new energizing playlist, here are some past favorites:

    Good morning Julie!

    Loving this playlist, a lot of these songs are great for not only working out but if you have had a long night with little ones (which I’m sure you’re all too familiar with at this point!) and want a fun way to wake yourself up a bit more while making breakfast or enjoying a morning coffee

    Music is such a great way to boost our mood and feel energized, thanks for this awesome inspiration this morning!

    This is PERFECT for today – actually, this morning’s Instagram post for me (@semisweettooth) was about waking up stuck in a rut and working on getting out of it. Great timing!

    My usual song that gets me in the mood to amp up my day is “Number One” by the always classic (and classy) Nelly. I may or may not be incredibly competitive with myself and feel stuck when I feel like I’m not performing to my best self’s ability. “Number One” amps me up by remembering that hard work always pays off. Guess I should go listen to it right now, ha!

    Thanks for the inspiration!!

    Music is totally necessary for a good workout. I made a half marathon playlist from spotify and love it! I especially like commercial free for running and not having to dig my phone out of my pocket to change the song. I love Kanye’s Workout Plan song. It’s just a fun song with a good beat.

    Anything Pitbull or Avicii are my go-to’s for workout playlists! I plug in a lot of 90s jams to my workout playlist too just for some good ole’ nostalgia (hellooooooo BSB & Spice Girls!)

    Thanks for the playlist! This is a selfish suggestion… but you should totally create your running /workout playlists on Spotify (during your free time of course ;)) and make it public so your readers can follow them online.

    I agree with Liz, you should DEFINITELY join Spotify and post your playlists!
