A mix of something I love and something I hate

I hate. HATE. HATE working out. I really do. I find very little enjoyment. So, I force myself to find some enjoyment in the process by making playlists for my iPod. I've looked over suggestions from Pinterest and I've thrown in some of my personal touches and here's what I've come up with - and please forgive me for not going through the tedious labor of proper capitalization. (Incidentally, these playlists are what I also play while cleaning, another thing I hate.)
