I’m having a dance party over here at my desk listening to the four-hour playlist I just put together that compiles all of my favorite workout songs from 2017. This year I was super dedicated to putting together regular playlists for you guys to help you through your runs and gym sessions – I hope you used them and enjoyed them!

For today’s post I wanted to bring all my favorite jams together into one playlist PLUS highlight some of my favorite workouts from 2017. Hopefully you’ll find this post to be a great resource to motivate you to start off 2018 strong on the workout front!

BEST WORKOUT SONGS OF 2017 SPOTIFY PLAYLIST

Okay, go ahead and navigate over to Spotify, follow this playlist and start listening to it as you read through the rest of this post. I guarantee that you’ll be feeling psyched up to go try the workouts once you start listening! 🙂

Also, just a reminder that you can listen to it straight through but I really love to hit “shuffle play,” especially since there’s over four hours of music here.

BEST WORKOUTS OF 2017

I love sharing workouts and hopefully I can do even more of this in 2018! I’m ALWAYS open to special requests or feedback on what you’d like to see more/less of. I’m here to help YOU feel your best and your strongest so don’t hesitate to let me know what you need.

30-MINUTE, 3+ MILE HILL AND SPRINT TREADMILL WORKOUT

30-minute, 3+ mile hill and sprint interval treadmill workout. #workout #treadmillworkout

If you find me on the treadmill, you can be almost certain that I’m doing some sort of interval workout. Here is a 30-minute treadmill workout that blends hill and sprint intervals and will absolutely fly by!

TOTAL BODY DUMBBELL STRENGTH WORKOUT

Dumbbell workouts always tend to be super popular and this one will give you a total body strength challenge.

100 REP CORE WORKOUT

100 rep core workout. #workout #coreworkout

I love the 100 rep scheme of this core workout and often teach variations of it in my classes. This is a great little core workout to add onto the end of gym workouts or runs!

33-MINUTE TOTAL BODY DUMBBELL WORKOUT

33-minute dumbbell workout. 10 exercises, 1 minute each exercise, 3 rounds. #workout #strengthtraining #dumbbellworkout

Get all the details on this workout in this post. It’s one my strength classes loved this year!

TOTAL BODY TABATA BLAST

Total body tabata blast workout...a 36-minute sweat fest combining cardio and strength. #tabataworkout #hiit #hiitworkout #workout

I’m a big fan of short, intense bursts when it comes to HIIT training and I think tabata is my favorite way to do it! I have a lot of tabata workouts on my site but most are bodyweight only. This one includes dumbbells for a little more strength focus.

30-MINUTE TEMPO + HILL ENDURANCE WORKOUT

30-minute speed and hill endurance treadmill workout. #workout #running #treadmillworkout #treadmill

30-minute treadmill workouts are my favorite because you can knock out a quick 3-4 miles and then still have 30-40 minutes to lift when you’re at the gym. This one is focused more on longer intervals to help you with endurance.

20- or 30-MINUTE 4-3-2-1 STRENGTH WORKOUT

20 or 30 minute 4-3-2-1 dumbbell workout. #workout #dumbbellworkout #strengthtraining

The last workout I’ll share is this 4-3-2-1 workout. I love to use this time format to program all sorts of different workouts. This one is 4 minutes compound, 3 minutes unilateral, 2 minutes core and 1 minute HIIT burst. It’s a great workout!

WANT EVEN MORE WORKOUTS? 

Don’t forget that I have a whole page dedicated to workouts and you can search through them based on category!
