Technically, it's still summer for a few days...with fall right on its heels. This is the time to think about dressing for cooler workouts, along with indoor exercise on the days the weather does not cooperate.
It's also time to update workout music - as we hang onto the last bit of summer and prepare ourselves for autumn, our playlists will include songs that reflect both seasons.
Here's some of what's on my "Change of Season" playlist:
Brave - Sara Bareilles
Overcomer - Mandisa
Mirrors - Justin Timberlake
So What - Pink
Does Your Mother Know - Christine Baranski (Mamma Mia Soundtrack)
Even The Stars Fall 4 U - Keith Urban
Roar - Katy Perry
Gone, Gone, Gone - Phillip Phillips
Blowin' Smoke - Kacey Musgraves
Southern Girl - Tim McGraw
Point At You - Justin Moore
Steve McQueen - Sheryl Crow
I recommend separating "Roar" and Brave", since they have a similar beat/feel to them...but they are such inspiring songs that I wanted to include both on the playlist. In keeping with my theme of mixing styles to keep it interesting, you'll find Christian, country, pop, Broadway, and more on this list. (And "Overcomer" is a MUST!!!)
What songs motivate you as we move into fall? Please share with me here, or on Twitter and Facebook. Let's head towards the holidays together in our best shape ever!
