My Summer Workout Playlist: The Mixtape Edit

Music is a must-have for me during a workout, especially whilst running. It really helps me to zone in and keeps me away form distracting, negative thoughts. During the half marathons I recently ran, on both occasions I nearly hit that wall around the 16km mark. If anything, music really helped me get through. Old school music is a huge part of my playlist. When you're running low on energy, I love hearing coming across an old track, and suddenly thinking "I remember this!"

Pink: Get The Party Started

Spice Girls: Wannabe

Fat Joe Ft Ja Rule & Ashanti:What's Love.

Eve ft Gwen Stefani: Let Me Blow Your Mind

Blue Cantrell: Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops)

Jagged Edge ft Nelly: Where The Party At 

Blackstreet ft Dr Dre, Queen Pen: No Diggity

Sean Paul: Temperature

Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody

Toni Basel: Hey Mickey

Whitney Houston: It's Not Right But It's Ok

Destiny's Child: Bootylicious

Blue: Bubblin'

Destiny's Child: Survivor

J-Lo: Jenny From The Block

Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya Pink: Lady Marmalade

Mary J. Blige: Family Affair

Not quite sure if I cut it for my brother's radio show, but  in the meantime I'll continue mixing up my playlist with some old school tracks. Which songs are on your playlist?
