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. 🙂
