It’s no secret that high-tempo music can increase your endurance and help you burn calories.
Here’s some of my favorite workout songs that make workouts like a dance party.
(Singing along loudly required.)

Click on the links to buy the song for today’s workout!
- Sexy And I Know It
by LMFAO. Ridiculous? Maybe.
- We Are Young (feat. Janelle Monáe)
by FUN. You know that feeling when you’re running slow-mo into the rising sun, drenched in sweat like the winner you are while some epic, uplifting song plays in the background? This is that epic, uplifting song.
- Moves Like Jagger
by Maroon 5. If this song doesn’t get you pumped for a workout, I don’t know what will!
- Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)
by Kelly Clarkson. This song got me through my half marathon. It’s a pep-talk ensconced in Clarkson’s signature poppish style.
- Party Rock Anthem
by LMFAO. Yes, I know. Cliched? Overplayed? Absolutely. I regret nothing!!
Total time of this playlist: 18.04 minutes.
