You can tell spring is ready to bloom: The traffic of joggers is beginning to increase on campus, around neighborhoods and along trails. You admire their efforts as they run in circles around you. You might even feel inclined to join in and run or go to the gym.

While physical exercise is not typically super fun, it doesn’t have to be that awful. You don’t have to be part of the “pumpin’ iron” crowd to enjoy working out and feel good about yourself. The WVAU staff has a lot of inspiring jams meant just for you, to motivate you in the gym.

Working out is fun when you have the proper tunes to inspire you. If you have any doubt about it, just watch OK Go in their classic treadmill-workout routine.

Alright, so OK Go gets extra style points for making treadmills fascinating.
