JOE’s workout mix: the best songs for your gym playlist

JOE

JOE looks through all that the world of music (and YouTube) has to offer, to get you pumped up for your workout

Last week we brought you a tune with a great beat, but this week we bring you some motivational speaking that will make the hairs on your neck stand up.

Now, normally we don’t go in for this type of thing, but this is some spine-tingling stuff, and is guaranteed to make sure you feel pretty inspired when you go for that last rep or when you’re closing in on that last couple of hundred metres.

The soundtrack in the background is Explosions in the Sky, which helps to make this all the more epic, and the video is worth a watch for a few exercise ideas too.

Towards the end, when Eric tells us that there is no point in crying to quit, that “you’re already in pain, get a reward from it”, then you’ll be ready to push beyond your limits. Cheesy? Slightly, yes. Motivational? You better believe it.
