For me, summer is always a time to detox. It’s a time to finally cook those healthy recipes and learn those impossible yoga poses bookmarked on my computer. Though being back at school is exciting, it is also incredibly difficult to commit to my cleansing summer lifestyle.

Between reconnecting with friends over Bottega Louie dinners, one too many margaritas at El Cholo and the infamous victory dogs, the gym is desperately calling my name. After long days of class, however, almost nothing can get me out of my bed and onto the treadmill. In these dire situations, I have turned to music as my motivation. Commit to making the gym a time to catch up on fall’s hottest tracks with a few classics thrown in for good measure. If you’re trying to get back into a workout routine or just  want to be hyped on life, this playlist is perfect for you.
