My Top 20 Workout Song Mix from 2019

A cool feature Amazon presented to me was my “Top Songs of 2019.” Granted the list was a little skewed due to some beloved songs repeatedly played by my four children. For instance, my three year old son particularly loves Sesame Street and Paw Patrol theme songs.

However, I adjusted for those anomalies and listed the top 20 from Amazon’s list of 63 songs. No idea why they settled on 63. I guess I need to ask Alexa. 

The vast majority of these songs I listened to during my workouts. Normally, I listen to podcasts when driving or taking a train (when I was in Poland). I’ve learned that listening to podcasts during workouts can stymie gains and distract you from the task at hand. For more on the research behind the correlation between fitness and music, check out Art of Manliness’ podcast, “Research- Backed Answers to All Your FAQs”

Without further ado, here were my favorite workout songs in 2019. The links go to either music videos or lyric videos, so it’s easy for you to check them out. Hope you enjoy them and add a few (or a lot) to your playlist in 2020! 

Bonus: None of them have profanity. Safe for the whole family!
