For those trying to stick with their New Year's resolution, or just need some new tunes to keep you motivated here is a list of music that I think is great for working out:

2. More by Usher
3. Fire by Jay Sean
4. Rhythm Divine by Enrique Iglesias
5. Unstoppable by Kat DeLuna
6. Money Honey by Lady Gaga
7. Wanna be Stating Something by Michael Jackson
8. Fire Burning by Sean Kingston
9. Lolli Lolli by Three 6 Mafia
10. Angel by Natasha Bedingfield

These are just a few of my favorite! Just about anything upbeat is motivating! Feel free to place in your input of your favorite workout tunes!
