15 Best Songs to Add to Your 2018 New Year's Resolution Workout Playlist

I don't know about you, but this song always makes me want to get up and shake my butt. So, naturally, this should be one of your top picks for a work out playlist.

The lyrics are catchy and repetitive enough that you can change your workout to match Sia's riffs, and the beat is bubbly enough to keep you moving. Warm up to this song as you get your heart rate up.

I don't care what anyone else says, Bruno Mars is an artist that will consistently keep you wanting to dance, move, and sweat.

In fact, you could probably get a pretty good workout just by dancing to this song and there's no way you couldn't dance to this song when it comes on (trust me, I've tried).

The dance-y beat will keep your heart rate up and if this song doesn't make you want to push yourself, then nothing will.

Fifth Harmony always delivers when it comes to catchy songs with fun lyrics, but this song takes the cake — especially when you're trying to get motivated to work out.

In addition to the good beat that will keep you ready to conquer even the hardest workout in the gym (or at home), the fact that the 5H ladies keep telling me to "work, work, work" is enough to keep me sweating, how about you?

Since Dua Lipa's song is now the anthem for all women everywhere for 2018, it should also be a song on your perfect workout playlist, in my opinion.

I like to think of all the workouts I could use this song for, and anything that switches from low-impact to high-impact, like cycle or sprints is perfectly accompanied by this song.

Plus, no one wants to let down Dua Lipa, right? So pick up the pace!

Every time I hear Nicki Minaj, it makes me want to both dance and sweat my butt off, so why not do both and add it to your workout playlist?

David Guetta's beats and Nicki's rhythm works perfectly together to create a song that'll keep you motivated, whether you're working out in the gym or flexing your muscles at home.

Every workout playlist needs some hip-hop songs and this one by G-Easy is the perfect one. Play this song during your workout when you're ready to dig deep and do some serious reps.

The beat will keep you focused and you will definitely feel the burn if you keep the hardest part of your workout going throughout the whole song.

Not only is this song a banger (thank you, Migos), but it also has a good steady beat that will help you keep up with your trainer (or your reps) while working out.

In all honesty, any Migos song is good for the gym, but this one, in particular, is great because it'll keep you hyped to finish your workout strong, even when you're already drenched in sweat.

Everyone secretly wants to be as a bad ass as Kanye West, and listening to one of his songs (literally any of them) when working out makes me feel more like a bad ass because I'll never be Kanye.

And if that's not enough motivation to kill it at the gym, then this song in particular will. Why? Because the beat is good and it'll make you feel like a champion when your workout is done.

Yet another song that makes me want to shake my booty instead of actually working out, this song serves a dual purpose.

Whether you're going for the treadmill at the gym or dancing when you're home alone, this song is certain to make you sweat.

I know, I know, Charlie Puth is only one person, but this song of his definitely reminds me of someone a '90s boy band would sing — and we all know how fun they are to work out to.

Maroon 5 always delivers when it comes to good songs and while this one, in particular, is a little more mellow than some of the other hardcore songs you can work out to, it's perfect for when it's time to switch up your routine.

Going from the elliptical to weights? Or cycling to rowing? This is the song for you. The beat is pretty dance-y and will keep you energized for the second half of your workout.

If Demi Lovato herself isn't enough inspiration to kick some serious ass at the gym, this song should be.

So, take a note from her and show everyone just how savage you can be when you're in beast mode during your workout.

Put this song on when you are ready to take your reps up a notch and really push yourself. You got this (even Demi thinks so)!

This song is another kinda mellow one, but it's so good (hello, it's Liam Payne) that you really do need it on your workout playlist.

It's the perfect song when it's time to warm up to get you pumped or to cool down to get that heart rate down.

Try to keep your pace with the beat when on a machine at the gym and it'll motivate you to take it to the finish line.

Not only is this song perfect for when you want your workouts to be a little more upbeat and fun than usual, but the beat is perfect when you need to keep a steady pace or count reps.

Plus, who else is motivated just by listening to a song with Beyoncé in it besides me? Yeah, that's what I thought. Let her be your motivation to kick butt if nothing else.

The Weeknd's songs are usually more sexy and sultry than motivational enough for the gym, but this song is a little different . . . mainly because Daft Punk is in it, too.

In my humble opinion, Daft Punk is one of the best when it comes to getting pumped for a workout and with the help of The Weeknd, this song will make you want to go the extra mile. And if you're feeling the vibe of this song, check out other Daft Punk tunes.

Cardi B herself is inspiration enough — I mean, who else is as much of a BAMF as her, right? And while the beat isn't as fast as other songs, it's perfect for a workout playlist because you can time it to be your stretching song after the cool down.

Of course, you can listen to it at any point during your workout, but if you're looking for something to slow your heart rate down to, this is a good choice.
