As GG followers know, I tire of my playlists quickly and need continual motivation to keep trecking on those unforgiving cardio apparatuses. Since May and June are my two very favorite months of the year, I tend to be in extra gleeful moods around now. I have a few exciting things going on in my life these days so I’m finding myself exclaiming joys of glee even more loudly than the average day.
These songs match my mood and they’ll serve as pick-me-ups for any workout warrior. Turn it up:
“Life in Technicolor” by Coldplay . . . there’s something about this two minute instrumental that makes me feel like I can accomplish anything. 1:25 into the song, I get goosebumps!

my very favorite flowers
“Gettin’ Over You” (featuring Fergie & LMFAO) by David Guetta . . . Unless you live on another planet, you know that Guetta is the hottest DJ producer out there right now. I instantly liked this when it blasted on my car radio.
“Rock That Body” by Black Eyed Peas. . . a song that charges the engines early in the exercise regime.
“My Life Would Suck Without You” by Glee Cast . . . now, before you roll your eyes about Glee – this version is super-charged to get you to run to your destination.
“Need You Now” (CPR Remix) by Jimmy Rep . . . this gives a happy twist to a normally sad song, just the way it’s supposed to be! Dare you not to sing along to the chorus. If the person on the treadmill next to you gives you a funny look, you’ll know why.
“Circus” (Villians Remix) by Britney Spears . . . a sexier version of the original!
“Amazing” (Kaskade Remix) by Seal . . . Seal’s wife (you-know-who) requested this exact version to play in the background during a recent magazine photo shoot! It’s fabulous!
“California Dreamin’” (Tek-House Extended) by Royal Gigolos . . . I’ve been California dreaming a lot lately and this version is perfect to get you in a get-ready-for-summer mood!
“Dreams” by The Cranberries . . . this is actually GREAT for the bicycle but works well with any type of cardio.
“If We Ever Meet Again” by (feat. Katy Perry) by Timberland . . . a nice start to the cool-down because it’s not too fast and not too slow.
“Song Beneath the Song” by Maria Taylor . . . I actually secretly end with this song A LOT. There’s something about it that I love but I haven’t quite figured out why yet. It’s the perfect tempo for the very last song as well.
