The holidays haven’t been kind to your waistline. You’re not alone. Every January, a slew of new faces start appearing at the gym. These people are the resolutionaries, the people who have resolved to get in shape in the new year. Heck, you may even be a resolutionary. If you’re worried about what to do and how to act once you step on the gymnasium floor, earbuds are a great way to silently tell people you’re not interested in conversation. Who needs a workout buddy anyway with great tunes to sweat to? Who are better motivators than Marky Mark and LL Cool J? These 20 songs will get you started up, energized, cooled down and excited for your next workout.
