Somebody to Love -- Justin Bieber ft. Usher
We love the Biebs by himself, but his songs aren't exactly gym-worthy. But, add Usher and it's all you need to push through those crunches.

Super Bass -- Nicki Minaj
Even if you've heard this song like, a billion times, it's still good every. Single. Time. Nicki's badass and so is this song. Boom badoom boom!

Bulletproof -- La Roux
So La Roux's song is sorta old (in the world of music), but it's a classic when it comes to workout numbers. Why? A) it instantly transports you to a dance club and B) you're bulletproof too, right?

In the Dark -- Dev
Continue the electro-dance party with Dev's sexified tune. Hit the weights with this one— the beat goes great with all those reps you need to do.

OK so you've totally heard this song on the radio before, but had no idea who it was, right? Well, we tracked it down and Alexandra Stan's song will make you sweat, but only in the best way possible.
The Edge of Glory -- Lady Gaga
Gasping for air yet? Well, Gaga's anthem should give you the motivation you need to stick it out. We're pretty sure Gaga works out like 1000 hours a day to get her rockin bod, so if anything, that's pretty dece inspiration.
