If you are anything like me, sometimes getting motivated to exercise can be harder than the workout itself. Listening to music while you workout is not only fun but is also a good distraction from the exertion you are putting on your body. With that in mind, I rounded up some of my favorite workout tracks, from fresh Pop hits to old R&B favorites. So gym gals, get ready to catch yourself humming through your jog or dancing on your elliptical with this collection of songs that are sure to keep you motivated during your workouts!
