Most can probably agree that music is essential to keeping yourself motivated during workouts. Therefore, here's a compilation of 15 songs to keep you going.

1. JT's "Rock Your Body" is not only a classic--it's the ultimate tune to get into the groove of your workout.

2. This remix of Two Door Cinema Club's "Something Good Can Work" has such a catchy beat that you'll forget you're working out.

3. Grouplove's first hit single "Tongue Tied" is a perfect song to blast.

4. Icona Pop's "We Got The World" is incredibly uplifting and fun during workouts.

5. Young the Giant's "My Body" is a great tune to keep you from giving up during a workout when all you want to do is curl up in bed and watch "House of Cards." We've all been there.

6. Mika's "Live Your Life" has an intriguing beat and feel that will have you smiling on the treadmill. 

7. Clean Bandit's hit single "Rather Be" transports this writer to another world, whether it's while working out or elsewhere.

8. Some Tegan And Sara is never a bad idea. The Slow Waves remix of "Closer" is a great song to wind down to at the end of a workout.

9. Avicii's "You Make Me" is definitely the way to go.

10. Charli XCX's new smash hit "Boom Clap" from the soundtrack to "The Fault In Our Stars" will brighten up your workout.

11. Some old school Killers never hurt anybody. "Mr. Brightside" never fails to get this writer pumped up.

12. If you ever decide to just workout to one song on repeat, it should be "Summer." Hands down. 

13. Bob Sinclair's "World Hold On" never gets old, especially for workouts.

14. Avicii's "Levels" is another great one for the beginning of a workout to get you in the mood.

15. When you're done with your workout, blast "Celebrate."
