It’s springtime: a time where we are juggling essays and tests, trying to balance a social life and slim down for summer. Exercise is something all students should try to fit into their daily regimen. There are exercise playlists everywhere, but there’s always an unheard song that can inspire you to finish those last few reps. Here are some songs that keep me fighting through my routine.

“Blackout” by Breathe Carolina is the first song on my playlist. The electronic beats propel me through my warm up. The chorus says, “I’m only getting started, I won’t blackout.” This is inspirational because it keeps you pushing through from the start.

Chris Brown’s latest single, “Turn Up The Music” is catchy and up tempo, so it makes for a perfect workout song. It’s a good idea to use it in the beginning of the workout because it keeps you motivated.

Though J. Cole’s song, “Work Out” isn’t necessarily talking about exercise, the title goes along with the theme and the song is fast paced, which gives you energy.

Nelly featuring T-Pain and Akon’s hip-hop song, “Move That Body” is talking about dancing and moving your body in the club, but it’s also inspirational as an exercise song. You can move your body through those last couple of reps.

By the end of your workout you should feel accomplished and a natural high from pushing your body to the limits. “Buzzin (Remix)” by Mann & 50 Cent is the perfect way to end your workout and cool down stretch to.
