Hello, hello! Okay… for the last week or so I have been promising a jump back into health and fitness focused posts back on the blog and today I am here to deliver.
What you all might not realize is that I actually do tend to stay active, even when I don’t write about it. I don’t always mention it because who really wants to hear “I went to Fitness Pilates again.” Ha. Not even me. In fact, I feel slightly embarrassed to enter it in daily mile these days. I’m waiting for someone to say “change it up, sister!”
Don’t worry guys, I got this. With a little inspiration from a new workout playlist and incentive to test out a new interval stopwatch for HIIT and Tabata workouts, I plan to get back into posting new and fun workouts.
Before we get too crazy, let’s start out with that playlist. I don’t know about you, but loading a fresh batch of upbeat music onto my phone always gets me going in the gym. Or on the running trails, whatever. Here’s what has been pumping me up this season!

What is one workout song you have been loving lately?
Have a great rest of your Tuesday!

Skyler did great walking into KINDERGARTEN with a big smile on his face this morning. I, however, was a bit of a mess on our walk home. 🥹
It’s wild how fast these 5 years with him have gone … 7 since we moved to NYC and into our apartment, dreaming of the day our kids would someday go to the *awesome* school right down our block. 🏫
That day is today, and I still don’t believe it — feeling allll of the emotions and thanking God for placing us here and for being able to trust His timing through the journey. 🫶🏼 #hbshinnyc
SO proud of you, SK - you are going to rock your first year at your “big boy school” - WE LOVE YOU !! 🩵👑](https://lifeinleggings.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
I’ve been loving Hey Brother, This is How We Roll and Say Something oddly enough. Even though say something is more of a slow-er song I’m obsessed with it and I thinks thats why I love running to it so much!
I actually think the song is somewhat depressing but at the same time can’t stop listening to it!
We watched Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” music video in one of my classes yesterday and it’s still running through my head… and now these songs will be too! 😉
Haha, you’re welcome… 😉
I love Gaga’s song, and also love Selena Gomez Slow Down, it’s kind of cool! Sometimes what I do is to search the Pandora Pop and Hip Hop Power Workout station or the Today’s Hit station! They pump me everytime, unless Say Something (which is great for a cool down :D) appears.
I use the Today’s Hits station all the time!
This post came at the perfect time! I’m updating my iTunes as we speak!
Woo hoo! Let me know if you come up with some good ones!
Love this! Have a good workout playlist can really make or break the workout!! 🙂
I agree 100%!
Love love love the playlist! I can never have enough new music suggestions. I can’t get enough Pompeii. Thanks!
Love them too. Glad you like the songs!
I have actually been searching your blog for this, only to realize today that you hadn’t posted it yet! Major fail. Most of these songs are new to me except Team and Say Something, so it will be fun to have listen to new things for an entire workout. 🙂 It looks fantastic!
Ha, sorry in the delay… hope you enjoy it!
