Music to Lose By: 13 Songs Guaranteed to Get You Moving

That spark, inspiration, boost or kickstart—no matter what word you use to describe it, we all have that one thing that gets us going when it comes to exercise. For some, it’s a new workout top or pair of running shoes that catapults them down the path to weight loss success. For others, it’s the rhythm and beat of a catchy song or dance mix that ignites their sweat session.

Music has always been a powerful motivator. It can lift your mood, increase your focus and aid in your weight loss. Everyone from Olympic athletes on down to everyday workout warriors like you and I benefit from the power of the playlist. And for many of our Nutrisystem success stories, a pumped-up playlist is just the thing to fire them up and get them going. Since these rockstars are living proof of the Nutrisystem plan in action, we asked them what their favorite playlist picks are to get them in the mood to move. You never know, these tunes may just be the ticket to get you to work out, too!
