Want to crush your next training session like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson or Khloe Kardashian? We’ve got the celebrity workout playlists from these – and other – stars who know how to get it done.
After all – music is the ultimate workout enhancer. It distracts people from pain and fatigue, elevates mood, increases endurance, reduces perceived effort and may even promote metabolic efficiency.
When listening to music, people lift more, run farther and bike longer than usual — often without even realizing it.
So pump up your workout with these celebrity workout playlists, or check out PopSugar’s “Best Workout Songs of 2018.”
Then, leave a comment – what are your favorite workout songs – or even one song that’s your anthem, and why?
We’ll list your picks in a blog post next week. Whoever gives us the most awesome selection wins a 4-pack Scoopie set (value: $14.99).
Until then, here’s your superstar-inspired motivation for the gym.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
This heavyweight favorite just released a special Spotify play list to celebrate the launch of his new headphones collaboration with Under Armour and JBL. Titled “Iron Paradise Airwaves,” the curated list includes more than 30 iron-crushing anthems, such as Metallica’s “Enter Sandman”and Nicki Minaj’s “Chun-Li.”
"Every day is a day to build,” reads his caption on the playlist. “No shortcuts. No B.S. These are the beats that motivate me through the grind."
“The training session jams definitely match his intensity,” reads the Billboard.com article on Dwayne John’s workout playlist. “With everyone from Migos to Tech N9ne on the playlist, it's sure to hype up anyone in the gym gearing up for a triathlon, karate-chopping blocks of wood or flipping giant tires.”
Khloe Kardashian
In celebration of the second season of her show Revenge Body, Khloé Kardashian took over Spotify’s Workout playlist, putting together more than 50 of her favorite workout songs.
Picks include Dua Lipa’s “New Rules” and G-Eazy’s “No Limit” and Kanye West’s “Stronger.”
"Being pregnant, it's a whole different type of self-care,” she said of her workout regimen during and post pregnancy. “I still exercise to maintain my sanity and also to feel good about myself, but my workouts are not as intense as they once were.”
