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

There are so many things in life that we can’t control. I don’t know about you, but I hate when I’m not in control and when things spiral out of the very thing that keeps me together…control! So, often times, I head to the gym: a sanctuary, a haven, to those who like to run away from their problems – physically and mentally!

We can control the outfit we wear to the gym, the number of calories we decide to burn at the gym, the machine we go on, and the songs blaring in our ears giving us motivation.  The songs we do choose are best when they come from years past – who doesn’t a love a good throwback playlist when throwing your back into that stepper, elliptical, or bike?

Here are a few of the throwback songs missing from your gym playlist:

 

 

Happy listening, collegiettes!

Born and raised in a suburb, I feel as though my upbringing can be as ordinary as they come. However, I find the idiosyncrasies in my personality and life in general to add the sparkles I need. I come from a Russian background, and so culture and appreciating language and diversity is very important to me. I have been taking French lessons, as a result. Therefore, I am almost trilingual:)). I love to write, and have kept countless notebooks throughout my life, documenting random experiences. I am a firm believer in seeing each moment for its purity and value. I love to make the most of each day by trying to find a way to laugh, dance, and sing at least four times. My life motto is "Be yourself—unapologetically". And with that...that's me. Laura Zaks, at best.

Allie Maniglia served as the Campus Correspondent for Her Campus at Penn State from 2017-2018. She majored in public relations with minors in international studies and communication arts and sciences. If she's not busy writing away, you can find her planning her next adventure (probably back to the U.K.), feeding an unhealthy addiction to HGTV or watching dog videos on YouTube.
