Your workout playlist is more important than you would think! When creating your playlist, you should be mindful of what type of workout you will be doing and what your typical music preferences are. If you are going on a long run, you may want to choose songs with an upbeat tempo and motivational lyrics. When you are lifting, you may want to choose songs that are more aggressive in order to get you in the zone!
