10 Great Workout Songs

What is a workout?

Well according to former football coach, George Allen, “A workout is 25% perspiration and 75% determination. One part physical exertion and three parts self-discipline.”

That’s why you need great workout songs to support your efforts.

Any physical exercise that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness is good.

Exercise strengthens muscles, boosts the cardiovascular system, hones athletic skills, and has the additional benefit of contributing to weight loss or maintenance.

It also improves mental health, helps prevent depression, and promotes positive self-esteem. With an improvement in body image comes the added bonus of greater sex appeal – and being fit does wonders for the libido!

But, in order to be sustainable, any regime must be enjoyable.
