    ’90s running music playlist!

    July 6, 2015 by Chrissy Carroll 8 Comments

    Who else loves loading up their playlist with fun music for your runs? I find that with running in particular, the tunes are really helpful for motivating me to move just a little faster or just a little longer. When that fun song comes on, it gives you the extra kick in the pants you need to pick up the pace.

    This 90’s running playlist has been a favorite lately. Who doesn’t want some good throwbacks while you’re pounding the pavement?

    I also may actually struggle not to be like that person from the Planet Fitness commercials that sings along out loud to my music. So as not to annoy others if I’m at the gym on the treadmill, I find myself silently mouthing the words to everything if I’m at the gym. Which probably makes me look like a crazy person, but hey – whatever keeps you going, right?

    Hope you enjoy these 20 classic 90’s hits.

        Haha, yes! As soon as it comes on I just think of that 3 stomp dance move they do in the music video.
