Beat's recommended playlist for all of your musical needs.

A Beatles' Workout
The Beatles gave us music for all occasions, and all our many moods. If you're nursing heartbreak, the Fab Four have got a dozen (or two) songs for you. Conversely, if you've just found love, John, Paul, George, and Ringo have got plenty to say about that.

Music for Mamas to Move To
Music. It moves me. Like an attractive man with intoxicating conversational skills, the beat of a song gets my attention, but the lyrics seal the deal. Yes, a beat that gets you off your butt paired with the perfect words and cadence moves me to my core.

A Playlist To Make The Bench Press Your Bitch
You're inhaling the mingled scents of oft-used air freshener, hastily swiped deodorant, and the musk of hard labor. You're tasting the first wave of salty sweat trickling from your temples to the edges of your mouth and wetting the corners of your lips. You're hearing grunts of exertion and whatever particular program is being presented by the one who holds the remote. You're about to grasp the handles just underneath the seat of the cycling machine and breathing in deep- but suddenly a little lightbulb moment happens and you remember the most important part of this workout session.

The Jams: Workout Playlist 2020
I am really excited to share my completely manic and sometimes highly emotional workout playlist with you all! Fitness is such a massive section of my life. It is my most utilized form of therapy. You could even call it church. People run to church to get prayed over, to be healed, so then I guess you can also say the gym is like the ER unit. We go there to get better. That's a badass way of looking at it.

A Day of Song
A DAY OF SONG We all have really rough days, ones that are impervious to the regular self-care routines we establish to protect ourselves from the damage. For those inconsolable days, we need music. And ones of every genre, not just what we're used to. I read once that if art decorates space, then music decorates time. So for those bare, bleak times, decorate your day with this positivity-charged playlist to keep you up and moving.

Let's Get Physical: A Workout Playlist of Upbeat Music
Since I was young, I could never engage in any form of physical activity without music. Whether I am walking, completing household tasks, doing cardio workouts or dancing, I am always attached to my iPhone or iPad where I can enjoy listening to music. When I have music on, I feel more motivated to exercise and stay active, as opposed to when I am not listening to music.

Three Flexing Bicep Emojis
Making Spotify playlists is an absurd, minor passion of mine. I have a playlist for every season, every mood, "best of" compilations of my favorite artists, as well as various activities such as painting, getting ready in the morning, hooking up, and of course, working out.

Playlist of a song saver, the best of the best.
I love music. I know, I know, everybody does, but I mean I really love music. I rely on music. I live for music. I don't just listen to it, I feel it. Without it, a usually bright light would dim within my soul.

Reclaiming My Mom Bod In 2020
Let me be honest here for a moment, COVID-19 wreck shop in many people's personal lives this year. It brought many together, but it also caused several people to see their true colors and go their separate ways. For me it unpacked a lot of personal truths I wasn't prepared to have come to a head and did. After 5 years of being in a mentally and verbally abusive relationship, I decided for the sake of my kids and myself it was time to finally file the paperwork and leave for good.

Survival of the Fittest
Let me first start by saying this; appearances can be deceiving. Nothing looks like it supposed to be. So imagine you see someone and associate them with a particular song. Well if you look at me, you would assume I listen to hip hop or rap. Mainly because of the color of my skin, and just my sheer size. Tank top, sweat pants, black gloves, and beanie hat; who wouldn't assume this about me in a gym. Not so much the case. There is a population of people who enjoy listening to this genre of music when they're exercising. I’m not going to say that I don't fancy a trap song here or there, however, I take a much different method. Usually equipped with black over-ear headphones, pre-workout shake, batman beanie, and a tattoo across my chest, and with my imagination, I take my mind to the other side.

Workout Playlist: 'Weightless'
My workout playlist is short. Very short. It's one song. 'Weightless' by Marconi Union. No, I'm not so lazy that my workout is so short I only require one song.

Running on Empty
Girl. Let's face it, 2020 has been the year to end all years. Between quarantine, lockdowns, the general theme of uncertainty, and the unknown plaguing us all, I think I speak for many people when I say we all collectively just stopped caring for ourselves. Unless you were one of those people who could work out from home while balancing your toddler, your dog, and your zoom call, then I'm applauding you from my couch.
