Simone’s Workout Playlist

I post this list for those of us who struggle to find something good to work-out to while at the gym.  I’ve searched other playlists but I don’t like them.  So here’s mine.

So…these are not really cardio songs.  Some of them are, but when I go to the gym, I like to focus on weight training/strength training as opposed to cardio.  These are the songs I listen to when lifting weights, doing plyometrics, etc.   You will notice that many of these songs have a strong beat.  I like bass.  I’m all about that bass (lol).  I like songs with heavy bass when I’m doing strength training.  And if you’re working out in your apartment/house and you have surround sound in your living room…guys…

…it’s a workout party…

P.S. These songs are not necessarily Christian/Gospel, although some are… Maybe one day the Lord will change my heart… Pray for me.  Until then, can’t say I didn’t warn you.  🙂
