JUNE playlist!

Can you believe it's JUNE already?!  No!  No, I cannot!  But I love summertime and this month.  These songs will make you want to move, so get outside for a long run, some HIIT, or just sweating with friends!


Also, it's my brother's birthday month, so the first song is one of his :)


You probably already know that I am obsessed with surfing. It's an unparalleled joy that I got to first experience with my super cool surfer cousins in Florida as a kid and then have been able to do on vacations and sometimes even in Texas! (I know, crazy).  Anyway, surfing is an amazing workout and the conditioning needed in order to surf is intense, too.  This mix reminds me of surfing and in order to give you a surf-style workout, I organized this playlist into HIIT, long run, strength training, and cool down so you can get a varied, complete workout from this playlist.
For example, you might do sprint intervals for a HIIT workout and then do a mile of running to If I Could Fall In Love  and  Everybody Got Their Something followed by some pushups and mountain climbers to Party Hard and then cool down and stretch to Red, Red Wine.  Enjoy!


Get Underway - Hank Whitaker  (www.reverbnation.com/hankwhitaker)  (HIIT)
Starships - Nicki Minaj      (HIIT)
Eenie Meenie - Sean Kingston + Justin Bieber   (HIIT)
Break it Off - Rihanna and Sean Paul   (HIIT)
Cruel Summer (Blestenation Mix) - Blestenation    (Blue Crush anyone??)  (HIIT)
            OR
Cruel Summer - Bananarama
       (I put both versions in here in case anyone doesn't like remixes!  I get that!)
I Wanna Dance With Somebody - Whitney Houston   (HIIT)
And Be Loved -  Damian Marley    (HIIT)
One Thing - One Direction   (HIIT)
If I Could Fall In Love - Lenny Kravitz  (Great for a long run!)
Everybody Got Their Something - Nikka Costa
Party Hard - Beenie Man (good for strength training)
Cool down to Red, Red Wine by UB40!
One thing I will say about the order of this list:  If you want to use the original version of  "Cruel Summer", then don't use it for HIIT.  Use it for running or cooling down :).

Love Y'all!
