We’re pretty sure that just about every list of New Year’s resolutions includes a workout plan in one form or another. Your friends at Edison Partners decided to assemble a list of songs that are sure to get you fired up about the gym in 2016.
Here are 14 Edison picks for your playlist:
1. Chris Sugden's Pick
Lose Yourself by Eminem
Why: If you can’t get fired up with the opening of this song, check your pulse. Huge bass intro and the first line of the song…“If you had one shot, one opportunity, would you capture it or just let it slip”.
2. Chris Sklarin's Pick
Eye of the Tiger by Survivor
Why: It's classic 80s rock and what's more motivational than Rocky? “Just a man and his will to survive…” [ Joe Allegra seconds this choice.]

Looking Up by SafetySuit
Why: Never know when you're going to turn the corner and your day just gets better. This song gets you going in a positive way.
