Nothing gets me more motivated at the gym than upbeat music. However, I find that a lot of gyms these days play commercial hits in the background which is the worst type of music to listen to whilst working out. I can never understand how anyone can find playlists that consist of Katie Perry, Little Mix and worst of all, Coldplay motivating. Throw the open roofed spin room next door into the mix, where slightly more motivating music is played and you’ve got yourself a complete mash up of noise. How can anyone possibly concentrate when you have all that going on in the background?

For me, going to the gym without my headphones is a no go. They’re my life savers. A lot of people prefer to zone in and work out to their own choice of music. If you’re one of those people, here is my current favourite weightlifting playlist. Obviously they may not be to your taste, but I’ve chosen these songs because of their explosive beats. Perfect for getting that one extra rep out!
