Whether I’m downhill skiing or practicing tae kwon do, music is a key part of my workout mojo. Sometimes the right track on my way to the gym can make all the difference in getting my mind right for the challenges I will face while exercising. Although this list will inevitably change with time, these are some of my favorite workout songs to date.
Somedays I want to get pumped, some days I gotta rally my inner bad ass, some days I want to feel like I’m at a party, and I almost always wind up listening to 90’s music at some point while I’m skiing.
