Are you in a cozy, let-me-stay-inside-and-do-nothing winter funk? Yeah, me too.
Sometimes a fresh new batch of tunes is just what I need to get motivated to get a workout in on those extra chilly days. Whether you’re a fan of breaking a sweat at the gym, outside, or in the comfort of your own home, there’s endless upbeat songs out there to get you moving.
Here’s a collection of what I’ve been loving lately!
While I’m not about to tackle the cold temperatures in our neighborhood, I’m looking forward to turning to this playlist as soon as it’s warm enough for me to run outside again.
(Stream and download this exact playlist – for free – here.)
Until then, I’ll be enjoying my music at the gym and in my basement (our makeshift at-home gym) to pump me up for workouts.

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)

As an instructor, I’m always looking for new playlists! It’s a lot harder than it looks to come up with a good set! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Totally, I usually get a lot of my ideas off of workout radio stations and save the ones I like!
I absolutely love your playlists! And isn’t it funny how a great playlist actually makes you want to be more active? Ha! Will definitely use this for my run tomorrow. Thank you!
Thank you Mecca, enjoy!
Yay! This is exactly what I was looking for 🙂 Great playlist!
Thanks Fabiola, happy sweating!
It’s definitely so hard to get motivated in the winter. I workout a lot in my garage and it was so cold this morning. Good music always always helps though! And I can’t wait until I can run outside again too, come on Spring!

Oh man, that takes a new level of motivation. You go girl!
Great playlist, Heather! Any playlist with Pitbull is a good workout playlist. 🙂 One of my very favorite things about Pure Barre: the awesome music. Right now, I love Missy Elliot’s WTF, and there’s also a good remix of Hotline Bling that’s good for cardio. Gets stuck in my head all the time!

Oh, that remix sounds awesome and any Missy Elliot jam usually gets me pumping!
I’ve been on the treadmill a lot lately so definitely have been needing to switch up my tunes quite a bit. I’ll try out some of these suggestions! Cake by the Ocean has been one of my treadmill faves this week for sure!
Love it! I will say, however, that it took a couple of weeks to find the clean version for this specific playlist. 😉
Thanks for the ideas! I’ve been in a winter funk for sure but at least I’m getting my workouts in and looking forward to them. I’ve been watching Quantico on ABC.com while on the treadmill and it’s so intense and makes the time fly by!
I’ve seen the previews for that show! It’s good to know it’s worth a watch.
Hey Heather,
That was a really a good play list. I knew about some of these songs and found many other gems. Unfortunately, I’ll not be able to stream them right from your blog ( cause spotify is yet not in my country) but I will add them in my watch list. My favorite workout song is “Till I collpase”-Eminem

Eminem is very popular in my neck of the woods. Here’s hoping you get Spotify soon!
I am just getting back into a regular gym schedule – new music will be a great motivator!
That’s awesome Joanna, get after it!
Update: Used the playlist this morning. And actually played “Never Forget You” twice…it was awesome. Thanks again.!
