Happy Friday, y’all! First of all, thank you all so much for the kind words on my birthday yesterday. You all are amazing! I’m so excited about this week’s Friday Five. We are talking about five fav fitness tunes. I haven’t run with music in almost a year, but I love to dance and dance = fitness. Per usual, I’m linking up with my girls Cynthia and Mar for the #Friday Five. You can read our linkup rules here. Please note that if you don’t play nicely, we will delete your link. Have a great weekend!
I love each of these songs for difference reasons. Both Shake It Off and All About That Bass are just catchy and I find myself humming them to myself while I’m running often! Fancy is fun and I just like it. The Sia song is weird but something about it I enjoy. It is played in my barre class a lot so I associate it with killer barre moves :). And finally, Dark Horse has that beat that gets me every time.
What are your favorite songs to work out / run / dance to right now?
Oh, my gosh…I could listen to All About That Bass and Fancy on repeat all day long and never get tired of them – ha! 🙂 This is a great list, Courtney!! We have lots of faves in common, but I tried to pull some older ones on my list for this post. Hope you have an amazing weekend and that you keep celebrating your birthday; it’s good for at least a week, you know. 😉

Love Katy Perry! She was on College GameDay two Saturday’s ago and she was hilarious! She’s a multi-talented young lady!
Thanks for the linkup!

they all make me wanna dance! i sang taylor swift to myself during my entire 18 mile run today 🙂
I’m so out of this planet when it comes to music. I only know Kate Perry’s from your list. :$
I love training with music. It helps me stay in the mood and gives me strength to go further, faster and get stronger.
Thank you girls for the awesome linkup! I’m looking forward checking many lists. 🙂

I LOVE the Chandelier video by Sia. The girl who dances in the video is phenomenal… what talent. She was also on the Ellen show live… amazing. And happy belated birthday.

I’ve only heard of All About that Bass – except for the version done by Postmodern Jukebox (which isn’t really running speed but is great). Happy Friday!

I love All about that Bass! I find myself making up words to the tune all the time!
Sadly, I don’t listen to music very often. I’m usually all about the silence if my kids aren’t with me LOL.

The first time I heard the Taylor Swift song I flipped right past it. I’m not really a T Swift fan. Then I actually listened to the song and learned what I was missing. Loooove it.
Kat @ Life by the Laces recently posted…Friday Five: It’s My Jam!
Every one of your songs is on my current playlet. I love them all! I’m really liking the Sia song right now especially.

New to Friday Five 🙂 I’m always looking for new songs so I’ll definitely check out as many posts as I can.
Lesley recently posted…Friday Five: 5 Favorite Fitness Tunes
I’m really enjoying Fancy and Shake it Off right now. I love how Taylor Swift isn’t afraid to poke a bit of fun at herself in the video for Shake it Off. How often do you get to see someone in full ballet regalia be silly?
Chaitali recently posted…Friday Five – songs on my running playlist
Great choices. If it’s catchy then it’s likely a good listen. Haven’t heard some of these. I like the use of YouTube though. Friday video watching, haha.

I honestly don’t have favorites….I play the most random stuff I can. I like the change of genre, tempo etc. Keeps my mind moving which helps me keep focused.

Love all your songs…those are on repeat at home..my girls love to dance! I know some of those little girls should not be listening to 🙂 I don’t listen to music either…I like running without it.

You know I’m all about that bass 😉 and that Chandelier song is sooooooo catchy. When I first heard it I was like, um, what? but yeah I belt it out in the car… 😉
Mar @ Mar on the Run recently posted…Friday Five: Favorite Tunes
I have a pandora station built around Katy Perry, Pink, Lady Gaga and Kelly Clarkson–so basically all-girl power songs! It’s perfect for me!

I don’t listen to music when I run eithe but I love Shake it off and All about that Bass! My boyfriend hates them because they get stuck in his head haha.
Elizabeth recently posted…Non Scale Victory Friday!
I Love all of those songs, in fact, I just added every single one to my playlist the other day!! As for Iggy Azalea…when I first saw her video, I was shocked when I saw her. The voice and looks do NOT match up!! LOL.

Great List, I like all your choices!
I’m sharing two of your favourites, LOVING Shake It Off and All About That Bass. They’ve got a good beat and are so catchy, I can’r resist dancing to them.
I actually love Sia – Chandelier too, especially the video. Maddie Ziegler is so so talented, she memorizes me when she dances!
Laura @ Laura: Fat2Fit recently posted…Friday Five // Favourite Fitness Tunes
What a fun list! I still can’t get enough of “Chandelier.” I also like Sia’s “Elastic Heart.”

I had to choose between a lot of the songs you put here – I’m going to have to put them all on my list! I love all about that bass, and chandelier, but I didn’t have them on my ipod yet. *goes to add them*. Great choices!
All of these songs are on my running playlist! Great minds think alike, even if yours is more for dancing rather than running 😉
