21 Motivational Songs for Workouts

Michelle listening to motivational songs for workouts

On days when you don’t feel like working out, you can pop in your headphones, turn on a few motivational songs and sometimes that alone will help you embrace your workout head on. I love how important music can be to a good workout. Pairing the right song with an exercise can take it from just okay to amazing. I’ve previously shared song ideas to help ease the transition for members from summer to fall. Now, let’s take a look at songs that will help inspire participants to notch up their effort level.

Some of these motivational songs use powerful lyrics to motivate listeners and encourage hard work. Others made the list because of their powerful beat. Either way, this list is filled with songs that will motivate members to work harder, go farther and faster.
