Listening to Rap music while lifting = Higher states of consciousness 😵‍💫💪🏼❤️‍🔥 

I’ve loved rap music since I was a kid. I remember the first CD that I ever bought  was Tego Calderón tegocalderon – El Abayarde when I was 13. I played that thing over and over on my CD player—and I memorized every word, every beat.

What I liked wasn’t about hate or flexing… it was their flow , the way they carry themselves, their confidence. The way these artists believed in themselves, spoke their truth, and owned their power—it stuck with me.

Now, when I lift, that same energy fuels me. The beat, the bars, the attitude—it reminds me who I am. Even when I don’t feel like it, even when I’m tired or angry… I channel that energy and push through.

Rap taught me confidence. The gym taught me discipline and strength. And Together, they keep me lifted. 🎧💪🏽🔥

What about you, What kind of music do you like to listen to while working out ?
