Personal Music Selection for Workouts

3/28/2018

If you watched myInstagram stories enough, you'll know that I listen to a range of music, particularly when I'm cooking.  After a year of being inboxed about my musical selection, I created a few stations via Spotify that might give you an idea of things that I love listening to while on the move.
​

67 Minutes of Sex, Drugs, Hip Hop and Maybe Some Rock and Roll

Ideal for Cross Training and Gym Workouts

When I'm not in the middle of marathon - ultra marathon training or if I'm dedicating a full day to the gym, I aim for 5 - 7 minute warmup before starting a hour loaded full body workout.  I love throwing in Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails and Mystikal whenever I get a chance.  With this said, please be warned that this is not a playlist for the easily offended.  There's a chance that you will hear a 'bitch,' 'hoe' or something derogatory.  There are times where we can disregard the lyrics and rock to the beats--this is not one of those times.  For instance, one of the songs is called 'Pussy Crook.'  If you are looking for something else, I wouldn't bother checking out this list at all.
​

Hitting The Trails and Pavement

Ideal for Running, Cycling or High Intensity Workout

I have a bit of everything under the sun on this one playlist.  It's a beautiful monstrosity that only covers a fraction of the music that I listen to.  Perhaps you want to steal this list for yourself.  If you have other song suggestions that you think I missed, let a girl know.  In the meantime, there's at least five hours of headbanger 90s music with a bit of mumble rap that made it through the tracks.
​

Podcast Options Anyone?

Talk radio for the folks who don't want people singing in their ears.

Not a music fan?  Try some words of inspiration while moving vicariously with the wind.

  1. The Long Run:  Yup, shameless plug--Check out 300 Pounds and Running Podcast for The Long Run with Martinus and Latoya.  In addition, on this same station, you can find stories from other inspirational fitness gurus who don't fit the cookie cutter shape or athletic background.  
  2. Not Your Average Runner Podcast - RRCA Certified Running  Coach Jill Angie has a dope podcast that you should check out.
  3. Rich Roll Podcast - Each week Rich delves deep into all things wellness with some of the brightest and most forward thinking, paradigm busting minds in health, fitness, nutrition, art, entertainment, entrepreneurship & spirituality. Intimate, deep and often intense, these are not interviews. They are conversations. A weekly aural dance designed to provoke, educate, inspire and empower you to discover, uncover, unlock and unleash your best, most authentic self.
  4. She Can and She Did - Kelly K.K. Roberts has a dope format that's pretty brief, informative and always fun.
  5. The Read - Kid Fury and Crissle throw shade like nobody's business.  This isn't a runner's podcast but hey...I listen to other things too.
  6. The Joe Budden Podcast - Seriously for hip hop heads who are tired of these mumble rappers.  Just know that Joe Budden is Joe Budden so he might say some shit that's off the wall.

Pole Dancing Selection

Ideal for Pole Dancing or Contemporary Dance

A post shared by Latoya Shauntay Snell (@iamlshauntay) on Feb 14, 2018 at 10:34am PST

Just in case you didn't know, I'm a sucker for pole dancing, particularly pole sport.  If you never tried it out, then I have no idea on what you're waiting for.  I am exceptionally stiff and when I started, I worried about being the biggest, clumsiest thing in class.  Honestly, I was one of the largest people to attend but it didn't stop me from looking like a rockstar.  Check out people like Roz The Diva for plus size inspiration or read up on an article that I did a few months back about pole dancers of all styles that you should be checking out for the new year on The Root. Nevertheless, check out this playlist that I created.  The vibe is light with a few upbeat songs in the middle of an hour long playlist.

Personal 90 Minute Yoga Playlist

Ideal for vinyasa or bikram style yoga and for those who are open to flowing through asanas with non traditional yoga music.

A post shared by Latoya Shauntay Snell (@iamlshauntay) on Nov 3, 2015 at 6:39am PST

Back in 2013, I practiced yoga religiously at a minimum of 3 days a week, typically for 60 - 90 minutes at a studio in Kew Gardens.  Days that I couldn't commute 15 miles roundtrip on my bike, I'd follow a home practice wherever I could.  Some days, I looked for challenges like even balancing on my bed.  Crazy enough, while yoga is not intended to be a workout, it helped me tremendously with my fitness regimen.  I'm finding my way back to my flow and found my old playlist.  I don't want to change a thing from it and hopefully you'll dig it too.
​

1960s and Beyond 

Picture
For everything else, I just like grooving to the beat.  Even if I don't have a song playing, there's forever one in my head.  Tune in on one of the many soundtracks that I have programmed from youth until current day.  If you're ever intrigued, just check out the rest of my Spotify list or hit me up in private and ask what's the song of the day.  

If you asked, now you know.  When all else fails, create your own damn music.  Now drop and give me twenty.

Nostalgia Playlist

Cooking. Vibing. Chillin. Playlist
