2015 is my year! I am determined to lose weight! I’m currently on Weight Watchers and I’ve lost about six pounds. It’s a slow start and I know my metabolism has changed over the years. {insert sigh} A great way to shed some pounds and inches is to workout.

Angela says
I have always loved Chrîstina Aguilera’s “Fighter” so much! I also love “Home” by Philip Phillips, “Roar” by Katy Perry pushed me through the end of a 5K, “Live It Up” by Group 1 Crew, “Survivor” by Destiny’s Child and other Justin Timberlake, Destiny’s Child, and Group 1 Crew. I lost a great set of playlists when my computer crashed, but I haven’t been working out lately. Hopefully I can recreate them eventually! Thanks for the ideas!
Kelly Rowe says
Thanks for stopping by Angela. Looks like you have some great songs here. I haven’t heard all of them, so I’ll be sure to check them out. Have a great evening. HUGS.
Mila says
Hi Kelly, I love this post. Six pounds is a great milestone! I am very passionate about exercising and generally staying on top of my weight. Though I have always been a couch potato, I discovered some practical and doable ways to incorporate exercise and healthy eating in my lifestyle. I write about it on the blog too. I want to emphasize that one doesn’t have to become a gym junkie, or get on a specific diet. I think Weigth Watchers is mostly about portion control, and general calorie intake through a variety of food. I am not on WW, but I basically stick to the same principle.
Music is a must for me when I go for a jog– I see it is “me” time, to enjoy my favorite songs (I mostly listen to the band called “Muse”, I am a fan:). Sometimes I also listen to podcasts if I am in the mood for something different.
Kelly Rowe says
Thanks so much Mila! I really appreciate what you shared. I agree, WW is about portion control and calorie intake. It’s always nice to hear from others and their desire for healthy living…and it can be motivational. Muse is a great band! I have only heard a couple of their songs, but I enjoy them. 🙂 Have a great evening!! xo.
Liz says
Thank you Kelly. A good keeper.
Kelly Rowe says
Appreciate it Liz. Have a great evening. HUGS.
Lisa says
Are you ready for my workout song? Are you sure you are ready? Here you go…I Like to Move It! I hope no one is watching when I am working out! LOL
Kelly Rowe says
Thanks for the BIG smile Lisa! I’m not sure your comment could have been an better! 🙂 “I Like to Move it” is a GREAT song! Enjoy the rest of your week. HUGS.
Sally Wright says
Love this list, Kelly! Some of these are on mine too
Here’s a few more:
Geronimo by Sheppard
Time of our Lives by Pitbull (from Globalization)
Lips Are Movin (Meghan Trainor)
Happy by Pharrell Williams (which is also what wakes me up in the morning)
I am also trying to get moving this year!! (more water, more sleep, more exercise, eating to live – – instead of living to eat). It’s a journey, I wish you great success!
Sally

Great job on the weight loss! I am doing WW and have lost 45lbs. I like the following to walk to, Time of our life, I think pitbull does that, super bass and turn me on by nicki minaj, treat me right by Debra Bond, and This is me by Kim English those are some older club songs but they have a great beat. A little party never killed nobody by Fergi, and work work by Britney Spears *that’s the clean version of work bi%@!..keep it up!
Kelly Rowe says
Thanks Kimberly. …and Congrats on losing 45 pounds! That’s great!! Sounds like you have some great music to workout too. I’ll have to check out the ones I haven’t heard. Have a great night. xo.
Jelli says
I’m with ya- a workout just isn’t the same without good tunes to keep me motivated. My favorite to jog to is the old school Newsboys “Love, Liberty, Disco” album.
Kelly Rowe says
I couldn’t agree more…good tunes = motivation. 🙂 I’m not sure I’ve heard that Newsboys album. I’ll have to check it out. Enjoy the rest of your night. xo.
Heather says
Nice tune choices. I have been finding motivation from Katie, Pitbull and Tobymac…keeping me moving while at the gym or shoveling snow 🙂
Kelly Rowe says
Thanks Heather. I appreciate it. Enjoy the rest of your evening. xo.
