10 Songs for Your Workout Playlist

(SPOT.ph) Binge now, atone later. That’s pretty much the holiday mindset for most, and it’s totally understandable. Who can say no to good food served buffet-style in a party where everyone else has put their fitness routines on hold? But now that the holidays are over, it’s time to get back to work. And since working out is so much better (sometimes even easier) with appropriate songs on full blast, we thought of creating this playlist. To help you lose those holiday pounds, we’ve put together a mix of good workout songs from recent years. Whether you’re a runner, a cyclist, or a CrossFit beast, we have something for you. Take a listen and have fun working up a sweat!

Pump-up factor: Coldplay’s "Magic"can be an alternative to your traditional yoga music. It is slow-tempo and relaxing, so you can get your downward-facing dog on without any distractions.
