Energy boosting songs to power your walking workout
Our motivation playlist will get you in the right frame of mind for your next walk.
Research shows that listening to music while exercising can make you work harder but decrease how hard you think you're working so you're less likely to throw in the towel.
You may want to make up a walking-themed playlist to listen to as you walk outdoors or on the treadmill. The right workout music has the power to motivate you to push harder and go farther and help you maintain your pace. That's why we picked some of our favorite power walking tunes to get you on your feet.
