This playlist in particular, Lord says, is meant to "keep you moving at a steady pace, feeling alive, inspired...and still feel focused on your workout." The result is a blend of dreamy electronic tracks, a few welcome throwbacks, and a strong dose of girl power (hello, Missy Elliott). Running over an hour, it should take you from your warm-up all the way through to a satisfying cool-down.
More than anything, though, just "do your own thing," Lord says. Stream the playlist she created for R29 below.
