They say a summer body is made in winter but we’ll understand if it’s taken you until the last few weeks (when we’ve experienced a teasing of nice weather) to look out your running shoes and gym gear from New Year. Whilst we can’t guarantee this summer won’t be a washout, we can guarantee your beach bod workouts will be on top form with our motivational playlist and bright trainer picks.

The Strokes – Juicebox
Another indie rock entry, perfect for unleashing any of your day’s frustrations.
