Sometimes, the right music can mean the difference between a sluggish jog and a sauntering sprint, or a so-so yoga session and a solid hour of stretching. With the right tunes, your workout can take on a whole new level of energy, atmosphere and enthusiasm.
Mix up your current walking or running tunes with these playlists, each about an hour long and designed to suit the pace and mood of individual workouts. Check back tomorrow for Part II, as Her Active Life brings you new music for strength training and stretching.
