Intro: Music doesn’t just motivate — it moves you.

In this RB100 Challenge, you’ll curate a 100-song workout playlist tailored to your training style. Whether you’re lifting heavy, grinding through Zone 2 cardio, or chasing a PR on the rower, the right music can make or break your session.


Why Music Matters in Training

  • Boosts mood and mental energy pre- and mid-workout
  • Enhances rhythm, tempo, and endurance
  • Helps manage fatigue and extend time to exhaustion
  • Increases motivation and training enjoyment

How to Build Your 100-Song Playlist

  1. Divide by Workout Type:
    • Strength (e.g., rock, hip-hop, grime, metal)
    • Cardio (e.g., house, trance, reggaeton, dance)
    • Warm-up & Recovery (e.g., lo-fi, acoustic, mellow hip-hop)
  2. Use Platforms Like:
    • Spotify (create and share a public playlist)
    • Apple Music or YouTube Music
    • Offline MP3 apps if training outdoors or without signal
  3. Structure it for Sessions:
    • Build 20–30 min blocks for strength or HIIT
    • Create seamless flows for longer runs or bike rides
    • Add personal ‘power songs’ at tough spots
  4. Review & Rotate:
    • Swap in new tracks every 2–4 weeks
    • Use playlist insights from Spotify Wrapped or Last.fm
