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

We can all agree, working out and music go together almost as nicely as peanut butter and jelly, and picking the right song while you’re in the gym can make all the difference. We understand everyone has variations in music taste, but for this week’s Ole Fit article, we decided to compile some of our favorite workout songs that get up pumped up and motivate us to finish strong.

  1. “Let’s Get It Started” – Black Eyed Peas

What better way to get your workout started than with a little throwback from the BEP!

  1. “La La La” – Naughty Boy and Sam Smith

  2. “All of the Lights” – Kanye West

  3. “Fergalicious” – Fergie

Fergie says, “You’ll be up in the gym just working on your fitness.”

  1. “Lose Control” – Missy Elliot

  2. “Pound the Alarm” – Nicki Minaj

  3. “Run the World (Girls)” – Beyonce

No playlist is complete without Queen Bey! And girls, we really do run this world.
