      “So What” will forever be one of my favorite P!nk songs. I always play “Stronger” by Kanye-it never fails to put me in a mood to work out!

      “Shipping Up to Boston” by the Dropkick Murpheys is my ultimate pump-up song. At first I didn’t like it, then I found that it really helped me with weightlifting during my Crossfit phase, and now I’ve translated it to running. It’s angry and yell-ey and always gets my legs pumping a little faster.

      I love Gwen Stefani and anything from No Doubt. I can’t handle Ricky Martin though – la Vida loca was so overplayed!

      I love #11 It’s Tricky! Knew you’d have the Carly Rae song on this list. I remember it from your Ragnar trip.
      I always put “Break my Stride” by Mathew Wilder. It’s a great one from the 80’s.

      I actually posted my full list not long ago. Mine are lesser known (but well worth checking out – I promise!!):

      Turn This Club Around – R.I.O Ft. U-Jean
      Euphoria – Loreen
      Live For The Night – Krewella
      Tidal Wave – Sub Focus Ft. Alpines
      One more – Elliphant Ft. MØ

      Then there are some classics like St. Elmo’s Fire which I expect lurks on many play lists….
