My go-to workout is a run on the treadmill, but I also love hopping on the Stairmaster or the elliptical machine, and these tunes have helped me find the energy and courage to face the gym, even when I don't want to. These songs are motivational because they have a lot of energy and cover a range of emotions. I don't know about you, but when I exercise, I'm definitely not happy the whole time; sometimes I feel discouraged, or I think about unpleasant things, or I get frustrated with the way my day went. That's why I like to listen to songs that address a wide range of feelings and thoughts.

This list can get you through at least a week's worth of workouts, depending on your level of dedication to incorporating exercise into your routine.
