The Ultimate Workout Playlist

Yesterday I was at the gym doing my regular lunchtime workout. I was having a terrible time. Why? Because I was listening to Bon Iver… 

I’ve always been of the mindset that Bon Iver are my metaphorical audio-seasoning. Like the salt and pepper of the culinary world, they’re pretty much perfect for all occasions.

But as with salt and pepper, there are times when you just don’t do it. I mean, it’s not really one to go with your strawberry jelly. And who puts it on their liquorish allsorts? No one. That’s who.

Justin Vernon: you are incredible, although if I’m honest your beautiful folky tones just don’t arouse my inner champ. They can’t cut through the sweat and motivate my muscles to power through.

I decided to stop. I told myself it was because I had a stitch, but really it was because I couldn’t be bothered.

The guilt that ensued led me to the decision that I would never let this happen again. I would build the ultimate Spotify playlist and by doing so, would acquire a fabulous body (because I will never slack again).

So, without further ado, please be upstanding for the Ultimate Workout Playlist of the Century. A mixture of thumping dubby pop and crescendos – they’ll propel you to PB-ville…

Now, get working!
