Workout Playlist

This past year, I’ve really been getting into exercising and staying healthy. I really started becoming serious back in July after I gained like 8 pounds after three weeks at governor’s school. I wanted to lose that weight and also just be more healthy. I have to listen to some form of music or podcast or something while I work out. I cannot work out in complete silence. Silence is not motivating or fun.

Over the summer, I got into listening to music. It was a nice, mindless thing to listen to. I was working out outside so I just needed something to keep me motivated. Since being at school, music just wasn’t cutting it. I was getting bored with the same 30 or so songs, and wanted to do something more with my time. I mean working out on an elliptical for like an hour is super boring. Instead of music, I have started listening to podcasts. I know, I’m like an 80-year-old woman. I listen to podcasts, crochet, love cats, go to bed early, and get up early.

Here is my list of music and podcasts that I’ve been loving to workout to!

Podcasts

I’ve been loving NPR’s TED Radio Hour. I feel like when I listen to NPR, I’m also learning things! My favorite podcasts so far are Screen Time (both 1 and 2), Why We Collaborate, Peering Into Space, and Shifting Time.
