Is it really day 20 of Blogtober? I’m rather proud of myself for getting this far, can I include this in my list of life achievements? It would really bulk it up a bit.
Anyway, day 20 is going to focus on another workout playlist. I’m getting better at working out on a regular basis now and as a result, I’ve had to add more music to my playlist otherwise I’d get bored. I’m keeping with hip hop and rap as I find the beat of each song keeps me motivated during an intense burning session. Here goes!
Eminem was behind the beauty that is the Southpaw soundtrack and Kings Never Die is quickly becoming one of my favourite songs. The combination of Eminem’s voice, the lyrics and the beat always gets me pumped up to do a workout so this is the first song I listen to.
Rob Bailey and the Hustle Standard – Beast
Another song from the Southpaw soundtrack features quite heavily in my playlist. Beast usually follows Kings Never Die and is used to remind myself that I am indeed a beast…a fluffy, sleepy beast. It’s the lyrics of Beast that gets me going and it’s a song I use whenever I need a bit of motivation.
N.W.A – Straight Outta Compton
After watching the film Straight Outta Compton I immediately went on a N.W.A binge and a few of their songs found their way onto my playlist. Straight Outta Compton has always been one of my favourites by them so it only feels right having them blast in my ears during a workout.
Public Enemy and Anthrax – Bring Tha Noize
Every time my other half and I say “yeah boy” the other has to say “bass” followed up with “how low can you go?”; we’re losers like that. I stopped listening to this song for years before I met my other half and now that we’re together, I can’t stop listening to it. The drumbeat is nice and quick so it keeps me going when I start slacking. If it comes on at the beginning of a workout it becomes a bit of an issue as it means I start running too fast and tire myself out.
Yelawolf – Louder ft Inkmonstarr
I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve listened to Louder but I can tell you it’s a lot. I love Yelawolf and his fast raps can get me moving even when it’s 7am and I’ve had 3 hours sleep. I’m not overly crazy about the lyrics (particularly the “I come from the bottom of the bottle to the top here, I’m talkin’ lemonade” line) so I really listen to it more for Yelawolf’s voice than anything else. If the Travis Barker and Yelawolf EP wasn’t so short I’d probably have that as my full workout playlist.
I could prattle on but I think 5 songs is enough. Is it wrong that I’m now itching to do a workout? Does this mean I’m an exercise junkie (just ignore the times I’ve told myself I have a sore leg when I don’t so can’t do a workout)?
