Monday Music Notes: Motivational Workout Playlist

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BU chapter.

I’ve been getting a lot of requests to make a workout playlist, and though I’ve made a few mixes for friends, these 20 songs are my personal playlist that I frequently listen to during my workout. I like to workout to rap songs, particularly angry rap or rap that talks about getting through hard times and coming out on 
top. Positive, confident lyrics motivate me to push myself and work harder. There is one Christina Aguilera song in this mix, and that’s because she is my favorite musical artist (don’t judge!). The majority of these tracks have Eminem on them- I’m a huge fan of his music, which is packed with meaningful, thought-out verses. If you like hard-hitting rap then you’ll probably be really into this playlist!
