Following Barack Obama’s picks for his favorite music of 2019, Michelle Obama has shared her own playlist of workout staples, including tracks by Lizzo, Cardi B, Beyonce and more.
“It’s about that time when New Year’s resolutions get a bit harder to stick to,” Michelle Obama tweeted Sunday. “To offer a little inspiration, I want to share my go-to #WorkoutPlaylist with you. These songs always seem to give me that extra boost to get through my toughest workouts. What’s on your playlist?”
The former First Lady’s workout playlist is divided into two sections: Upbeat R&B and (clean versions of) hip-hop tracks for the actual physical portion, with more laidback songs for the “cool down.”
Obama’s workout mix includes Childish Gambino’s “3005,” Lizzo’s “Soulmate,” multiple Bruno Mars hits (“Perm” and “Finesse (Remix)”), three Cardi B tracks (“Press” and her appearances on “South of the Border” and “Finesse”) and more, while the “Cool Down” boasts Frank Ocean (“Godspeed”), Pink Sweat$, Meek Mill with Elle Mai and others.
As First Lady, Obama guided the White House’s Let’s Move! public health campaign that encouraged a healthier lifestyle and combatted childhood obesity.
