“Power Rock Climb” 30-Minute Workout Playlist

1. Vampire Weekend, “Unbelievers” (3:23). Vampire Weekend is a Brooklyn band that makes me happy, and this song is perfect for a warm-up as it will get you in the mood to move your booty.

2. Fitz and the Tantrums, “Out of My League” (3:31). Now it is time to take it up a notch and add more resistance/incline to get your body temperature up and increase your heart rate. This song is just too peppy and fun to resist.

3. Puddle of Mud, “Blurry” (5:04). Here we have our first climb/strength segment, so you need to gradually increase the tension/incline until you are working your top level of cardio output and muscle exhaustion. Take it up every 30 seconds until the end of the song.

4. Bastille, “Pompeii” (3:55). Time for some relief with a light amount of resistance to recover and help prepare you for speed intervals. At half way through the song, mix in a few sprints for 10 seconds on and 20 seconds off until the end of the song — enjoy the “break” for now!

5. Sublime, “Doin’ Time” (4:14). Second climb of the workout, and I picked this fun song that always reminds me of summer and hanging out with my friends. Keep adding resistance/incline gradually until you are at your top level of effort for the last minute.

6. Silversun Pickups, “The Pit” (4:40). Back to light resistance/flat incline and bring your heart rate back to a level where you feel you can work in a few sprints once again. Once there, try going as fast as you can for 10 or 15 seconds at a time and recover for at least 20 seconds between.

7. Foo Fighters, “My Hero” (4:19). It’s the last climb of the workout so pretend Dave Grohl himself is cheering you on as you add resistance/incline until you work at your max level of effort.

8. Alanis Morissette, “Hand in My Pocket” (3:42). Finally it’s time to bring the resistance down and keep it there. Take the time to bring down your heart rate and then properly stretch out on a free space nearby.

And here is the 30-minute workout playlist on Spotify!

Congratulations! You fit in a 30-minute workout today — go celebrate!
