There isn’t a day of the week when Morgan Wade doesn’t work out. “My typical workout starts with waking up early and heading to the gym,” she tells Apple Music. “Monday is chest, Tuesday is back and Wednesday is legs and arms. Thursday, I do more chest. Friday, I hit arms again. Saturday is chest and back. And on Sunday, I do shoulders and arms. Every day, I’m doing some form of cardio. Right now, I’m also doing no less than 100 pull-ups every single day.” In fact, the only thing that stops the country star going to the gym—temporarily, at least—is not having music to listen to. “I love saving new music to listen to at the gym when I’ve got my headphones on and I’m just in my zone,” she says. “I’m the type of person who will turn the car around and go back home if I realise I forgot my headphones. I love being able to tune the world out and just be with myself, lifting weights and listening to great music.” With that much time in the gym, Wade’s been finding plenty of tracks that help her push on through and achieve her goals—and, here, she’s distilled them into her Music That Moves Me playlist for you. “Honestly, it was hard to pick only these songs because I have so many that I love listening to in the gym,” she says. “I love throwing it back to songs I listened to when I was in high school, too.” Alongside some of her own tracks, that means energising hip-hop from artists including The Notorious B.I.G., Eminem, Drake and Doja Cat, plus adrenaline-pumping rock from the likes of Black Sabbath, Megadeth and Papa Roach. “These songs are kind of all across the board, but they all have something in common: they get me pumped up,” she says. “They make me feel good, get me in the zone and make working out fun. My biggest piece of advice is to find what works for you. Whether it’s powerlifting, bodybuilding, group classes, running or whatever else you enjoy—find something you love and push yourself in that area. Focus on yourself, on getting better and on feeling better. When you feel healthy and strong in this area of your life, it starts to bleed into all the other areas of your life, too.”
