New Exercise and Fitness Review
You don’t need roll up to the gym riding spinners or wear hella gold chains to get down to this rap workout playlist. With fast beats and quick rhymes, each of these tracks delivers enough “umph” to help you power through your workout…and increase your street cred.
Whether they’re relaying the importance of taking things one step at a time or taking a moment to relish in the fruits of their recording-studio efforts, artists like Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Meek Mills, and Nas, know one thing: You need to put in the work to see the results. Take a diamond from their grill and ignore the haters, crush your goals, and enjoy the success that comes from rising above even your own expectations.
Download this playlist from Spotify and turn it up. We only have one warning: it’s highly probable that you won’t be able to stop yourself from rapping along. Good luck keeping up, though.

If Meek Mill and Rick Ross can compare themselves to Tupac, then you can make the mirror think you’re Phil Heath!

Listen up: Go big. Ignore anyone who tells you otherwise!
3 A$ AP Ferg, “Work REMIX”

If you’re lifting, don’t try to keep up with the lyrics. These guys spit rhymes so fast you’ll forget what you’re doing!

2 Chainz says real winners put in real time. No lie.

Nobody wants to live a mediocre life. Take a leaf out of T.I.’s book and expect nothing but the best from yourself.
8 The Game, “Ali Bomaye”

You may not be a champion boxer like Ali, but you can implement his intensity in your workouts. Make every workout your own Rumble in the Jungle.
9 Jay Z, “F*ckwithmeyouknowigotit (Feat. Rick Ross)”
Via Universal Music Group
Think you “have it”? You better be able to prove it.
10 Jeezy, “Seen It All (Feat. Jay Z)”

You’ve seen some things. Now it’s time to lift some things.
11 Eve, “Tambourine”
Via Universal Music Group
You don’t need a tiny percussion instrument to announce your entry into the gym. Make your own beat with the clashing of plates, the clang of iron, and your grunts from exhaustion.
12 Kanye West, “Mercy”
Via Universal Music Group
If this beat doesn’t push you, nothing will. Swerve.
13 Lecrae, “Nuthin”
Via Reach Records
The gym’s no place for smack talk, just ask Lecrae. Less talk more action.
14 Juicy J, “Low (Feat. Nicki Minaj)”
Via Sony Music Entertainment
Things to go low on: squats, cleans, dips, this beat.
15 Lil Wayne, “Right Above It (Feat. Drake)”
Via Universal Music Group

16 Ludacris, “My Chick Bad (Feat. Nicki Minaj)”
Via Universal Music Group
You’re bad, and everyone knows it. And if they don’t, they will when they see you squatting under all those plates. Own it.
17 Nas, “One Mic”
Via Sony Music Entertainment
There’s no admiration in ego-driven gluttony. The message of this song is pretty simple: take only what you need and realize the power of one. One day of healthy eating, one more rep, one more pound lifted—all pushing one step closer to your goals.
18 Roy Jones Jr., “Can’t Be Touched”
Via Body Head Entertainment
This song is about you. When you get in the zone, you can’t be touched, stopped, moved, or rocked. Stay determined and crush PRs.
19 Schoolboy Q, “Collard Greens (Feat. Kendrick Lamar)”
Via Universal Music Group
Not only are they a good-for-you, cholesterol-lowering vegetable with cancer-protective properties, collard greens served up by Schoolboy Q also comes with a sick beat to push you through your training. We recommend you allow for a healthy serving and play this song at least three times daily.
20 Trinidad James, “All Gold Everything”
Via Universal Music Group
You don’t need to layer your chains or wear a grill to understand the lure of bringing home the gold. Train for that first place finish with this mantra thumping through your headphones.
