BE ENTERTAINED

Jammin’ Out
Written by: Casey Martin

Have you ever gone to the gym and realized you forgot your music? You may not even feel up to working out any longer. Music
creates a good pace and evaluates your mood so you want to move and push your limits. It’s easier to push through boredom
when powerful music is pulsating through you and your favorite song is energizing you.

Building a perfect workout playlist is about
mixing your favorite genres into a gumbo or
keeping it simple with one genre or artist.
Some like to add a pinch of pop, a smidgen of
electronic, a dash of rock and a teaspoon of
hip hop/rap into the mix. You can enjoy Taylor
Swift’s “Welcome to New York”, Disclosure’s
“Holding On”, The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled
Again” and Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright” and all in
one session. Jumping around from artist to artist
will keep you on your toes and entertained.
Don’t want to create your own mix? Leave it
up to Spotify. Open the browse tab and you’ll
find sections for Workouts and Running. Both
contain playlists geared to specific types of
exercise. You can lift weights to the high voltage
rock of “Pumping Iron” or enjoy “Power Run”
with a mix of hip hop, trap and dubstep. But
Spotify doesn’t just have regular old mixes.
With Spotify Running, the tempo of songs will
match the tempo of your run. That way you’ll
always be on beat. As you pick up the pace, so
will the music and once it’s time for your cool
down, the music will follow right along.
Whether you enjoy building your own or taking
advantage of playlists online, good music can
help you get a better work out. Personally, I
prefer electronic music when working out.
The uplifting lyrics and melodies along with
pounding drums always push me. I created a
Ville Magazine workout playlist and are all great
examples of artists whose music will motivate
you to master your workout. Download or
stream, press play, and get ready to sweat.
