I Be Up In Da Gym

When I be up in da gym, I am nothing without some crunk music to keep my momentum going. Some of you on Instagram asked to see a sample of my workout playlist so I wanted to share some of my songs from this past Sunday's workout with you. Fair warning: I like a variety of music so there's a little bit of everything in here, and I switch it up depending on what type of workout I'm doing. Pure Cardio for me requires rap, hip-hop, pop music because it's fast paced.

And there you have it! I took these pictures randomly when I would think of it, so the times probably don't line up. This was a minimal cardio day for me too. Here are a few suggestions on my personal favs for specific exercises. These are just ideas, because I do constantly like to mix it up with my workout music and depending on what kind of music phase I'm in. Right now I'm in more of a country phase so all my rap music is outdated, and I have less rock stuff.
