If you’re looking to hit the gym hard this Summer, you might want to take a minute and browse through Shannon’s great list of hip-hop workout songs. It’s a well-rounded list, but I insisted on the inclusion of “Lose Yourself” and almost pestered her to find a spot for “One Mic.” You gotta love the way the beat rises and falls in a peaks-and-valleys kinda way on “One Mic.”

If you have any favorite workout songs missing from the list, feel free to share.
