Hey Boys and Girls,

2020 has arrived and here’s one more chance to figure it all out. Resolutions are kind of a joke, but the start of a new year, and in this case a new decade, gives us all a chance to clear the slate and get our act together again. I’ve done hundreds of interviews over the years and the number one question is always about getting and staying motivated. 

My last book The Big Picture has plenty of intel about motivation. Having a purpose, a plan, and accountability are at the foundation of motivation. If you don’t know why you want to be fit and healthy, if you don't have a plan in place in advance, and have surefire strategies and reliable accountability partners, then it's going to be harder to get and stay motivated.   

I’ve covered all of this before, so today I want to change gears a bit and talk about the music in the room while you’re getting after it. I have over 50 playlists on my phone, and I switch, remove, and add new songs all the time. I Shazam tunes anytime, anywhere, every time I hear new music or something I’ve missed from the past. 

One of my intentions (not resolutions) this year is to keep building new giddy-up workout playlists because when I do I get fired up to workout and train harder (and smarter) too. When a playlist starts to get stale I know it’s time to dig around and find new songs, or rearrange what I have.

With that said, here’s my first new playlist for 2020.
