Now here is a 2000s-inspired workout playlist for you to rock your body! Everywhere you look, Y2K fashions are popping up like daisies. Butterfly clips, midi denim skirts and cropped cardigans in bright colours and prints.
And while the fashions of the late 90s and early 2000s was meh (IMO), the music was great! It was the time when high energy dance hits ran rampant. They are infectious and have a great way of making you feel good: even during a hard set of squad.
So the next time you face an ‘impossible’ workout, turn up these 2000s hits, and be teleported back to that cherished time of your life. I remember playing Pink’s Get The Party Started like a gazillion times on my family’s first (ancient) computer.
If you are an 80s or 90s baby, here is a millennial-loving workout playlist to get you in the zone for your next workout.

Between you and me: I was always reluctant to get into fitness. Even now, I am not the fittest person on the planet. But one thing that made it less scary, was incorporating great music into the mix.

Preppy, high-energy hits make you forget about the fire in your calves and quads and forces to keep going. Dance hits have slower verses for you to catch your breath, leading up to a pumping chorus bursting with power.
So make some space, and pump up the jam (oops, different era!)
