Summer is quickly approaching and it’s about to be that time for ladies and the gentlemen to dust off those swimsuits and head to the beach. But before we can flaunt our sunscreen trenched bodies we must first get our bodies right. Of course we love people of all shapes sizes and shades but a little toning wouldn’t hurt anyone. It’s all about your health and being comfortable in your skin. Just a little before Memorial Day here are a couple songs that are perfect for getting that body right for the summer.
1.Kanye West â “The New Work Out Plan” – Kanye West plays constantly at gyms around the country. It is definitely a cool way of shaving off those unwanted pounds. His lyrics pokes fun at those ladies that are plotting to use their bodies as a tool to seduce the men of their chose. Use Kanye’s workout plan to make your body just the way you like.
2.Shakira â “Waka Waka” – Shaira’s hips do not lie and they scream extensive exercise. There are so many ways to get in shape. Shakira shows us we can use exotic dancing to get those hips right. However, little people know that belly dancing started as a way for Middle Eastern women to make delivery of babies a little easier. Actually belly dancing was not shown to men until the 1950’s when two ladies named Little Egypt, Ashea Wabe and Farida Mazar Spyropoulos, shuck their moneymakers at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem, USA. So go ahead and keep shaking those hips!
3.Rob Bass & Easy Rock â “It Takes Two” – This song is just a feel good song. It was even on the romantic comedy “The Proposal” (Great movie for those that like romantic comedies!). The energy, style and attitude of the 125th Street (Uptown) is captured in the song and you can definitely sweat your bottom off to some classic hip hop. Why not?
4.Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz – “Get Low” – This song is very direct with Lil John and the East Side Boyz screaming for you to get low. The song is to test and see if those cougars still are flexible enough to get low.
5.C & C Music Factory – “Gonna Make You Sweat” – The song was written by a dance music production group from NYC called C&C Music Factory so you know they can move. Who better to get you moving to the beat? You need to throw on those bicycle shorts and MOVEâ¦MOVE!(You know your wore bicycle shorts when they were popular. Don’t lie.)
6.LL Cool J – “Mama Said Knock You – A perfect record for our MMA, martial arts and boxing training folks. It puts you in the ring and gives you the good ol’ “mama” co-sign. If mama says knock someone out you better do it or mama may knock you out.
7.House of Pain – “Jump Around” – It doesn’t get more direct and straight forward then “JUMP AROUND.” So jump, jump and get down!
8.Kanye West – “Stronger” – Some of the benefits of working out is becoming stronger physically and mentally. This song will get you pumped up and ready to go to war with that bicycle, mat, track, punching bag or whatever you use. You P90X folks might need it for that crazy workout.
9.Luke – “I Wanna Rock” – Strippers are some of the most physically fit individualsâ¦most of the time. If you ask any “seasoned” stripper they have most likely danced to “I Wanna Rock” a couple times. This song also works without the poll so put it into your Ipod and go.

Benefits Of Music For Exercise
Music and exercise are a powerful combination. People who listen to music during workouts report feeling more motivated, energized and positive about their routines. Studies show that listening to music while exercising can help improve performance, reduce fatigue and even lead to better results overall.
So what is it about music that makes it such a great workout partner? For starters, the right tunes can make your physical activity more enjoyable. When you’re listening to something you enjoy, it helps take your mind off the effort of working out and makes the time seem to fly by faster. Listening to up-tempo songs also encourages people to move in sync with the beat which may help them go longer and harder than they would without music.
In addition, having an upbeat soundtrack playing while you exercise can provide psychological benefits like boosting self-confidence or improving mood. It’s no surprise then why so many fitness enthusiasts turn on some tunes before hitting the gym!
Choosing The Right Playlist
As you can see, music is a great way to make the most out of your workouts. But in order for it to be effective, you need to choose the right playlist! Here are some tips for choosing tunes that will help power up your exercise routine:
First off, pick songs with a steady beat and an upbeat tempo. Songs that have at least 140 beats per minute (BPM) are ideal because they will encourage you to keep moving faster and harder. Also look for tracks with positive or inspirational messages in the lyrics which can give you a mental boost during tough times.
Next, consider what type of workout you’re doing when selecting songs. If you’re looking for something to listen to while running outside, try picking uplifting pop or rock songs so you don’t get bored with the same old music over time. For strength training sessions, heavier metal or hip-hop might work better as these genres tend to have higher BPMs than other styles of music.
Finally, create playlists around themes or moods that match how you’re feeling before each workout session. This could mean putting together an epic mix filled with powerful anthems or curating mellow vibes if relaxation is more your thing. No matter what kind of tunes you decide on, finding the perfect soundtrack will help get you into the zone and ready to tackle any challenge!
Conclusion
At the end of the day, it’s all about finding a good balance between pushing yourself and having fun. Music can help you stay motivated and make your workouts more enjoyable. It’s important to find songs that fit your workout style and keep you in the zone. The nine spring fitness songs listed above are perfect for any kind of cardio or strength training routine. Whether you need some energy-boosting tunes to get out the door or want something rhythmic to keep pace with during HIIT intervals, these songs have got you covered! So turn up the volume and enjoy every second of your next sweat session – because when we take care of our bodies, they take care of us too.
