Do you recognize any of these songs? I think I do know a couple of them. My workout songs are usually a mix of Taylor Swift, The Band Perry, and Josh Turner. But I do try to vary my workout songs. I have a lot of country–the upbeat songs work well. And they’re basically clean. I also use Just Dance, and those songs are rough. I can’t stand Call Me Maybe unless I’m dancing to it!
