31 Scorching Exercise Songs That Will Make You Really feel Like You

This article is part of SELF keep it warm package, a collection of content that celebrates love and lust. Throughout February, we’ll give you tips and inspiration for feeling hot, getting horny, and nurturing romantic relationships.

At SELF, we spend a lot of time talking about the scientific benefits of working out. Regular movement can improve your brain health, improve your mood, and strengthen your bones and muscles, to name a few. But in our completely unscientific opinion, there’s another aspect of training that doesn’t get enough attention: it’s hot. As in primal, hot animal energy. Like in a four-alarm fire, setting the house ablaze, incandescent.

Yes, workouts can be sexy as hell. To honor that, this week’s playlist is packed with steamy, sultry beats to bring out your inner sex kitten. On this list, you’ll find hard-hitting beats like Kim Petras’ « Treat Me Like a Slut » as well as Lil Nas X’s « MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name) ». divas like Beyoncé’s « Partition », Britney Spears’ « Gimme More », Ariana Grande’s « Dangerous Woman » and Janet Jackson’s « Throb ». What if we still had to whet your appetite? Just skip to Rihanna’s « Birthday Cake, » 50 Cent’s « Candy Shop, » or Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa’s « Sweetest Pie. »

So this week, if you’re « Talking Body » (by Tove Lo), we hope you’re loosening your « Buttons » (by the Pussycat Dolls), and getting a little « Dirty » (by Christina Aguilera). Go ahead, turn off the lights and turn up the volume!
