Staying motivated during a workout can prove to be quite tricky — especially during summer when you could be doing so many other fun things with your free time. But there’s one sure-fire way to keep yourself engaged during your workouts all summer long: motivating music.
Think about it: when you take group workout classes, time seems to fly by and that’s due, in part, to the always trendy playlists provided by instructors. In these classes — like spin, barre and boxing — it seems like you can accomplish whatever the instructor challenges you to, as long as there’s a good beat.
Fortunately, there’s a way to incorporate this motivating energy into your personal workouts. Four spin instructors from the new CycleBar studio in West Chester have shared their favorite workout songs to keep things upbeat and engaging. Add these songs a playlist on your music streaming service of choice and get to sweating!
