National Exercise Day is held on April 18, and to set the mood, Billboard has curated the ultimate Latin workout playlist.
The unofficial holiday was founded in 2020 by Dr. Jeuse Bernard Saint-Fleur to raise awareness on the importance of exercise and how it can save lives, according to Daysoftheyear.com. It happens each year in April.
The Latin workout playlist includes more than 40 songs, perfect for a two-hour sweat sesh at the gym.
For those who want to feel motivated and listen to positive affirmations, we’ve included bops such as Karol G’s “Que Chimba de Vida,” Bad Bunny’s “Los Pits,” Randy Malcom’s “Bendecido” and Thalia’s “Arrasando.”
For the gym junkie who needs reggaetón music to get hyped, there’s Rauw Alejandro’s “Diluvio,” Daddy Yankee’s timeless hit “Gasolina” and “Gata Only,” the viral hit by Chilean newcomers FloyyMenor and Cris MJ, which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart.
Songs such as Fuerza Regida and Marshmello’s “Harley Quinn”; Maluma’s “Coco Loco”; Lenny Tavárez and Sergio George’s “El Yate”; “Mercho” by Lil’ Cake, Migrantes, and Nico Valdi; and Manuel Turizo’s “La Bachata” represent the dance, merengue, salsa, cumbia, and bachata genres, respectively.
And of course, the playlist could not exclude gym-inspired tracks such as Tainy’s “La Baby” featuring Daddy Yankee, Feid and Sech, and “Gym,” a catchy dembow by former Billboard On the Radar Latin act J Molina.
Now go throw on your best gym fit, get in a sweat sesh and listen to the playlist below:
