Time Rise is one of the best free sand clock apps for a digital version of the hourglass. And once it's done, you can flip it around to start the next set. It's a clear visual indicator of time for any set of exercises, and something that all can see in a group workout. So sometimes when I want to quit toward the end of a run, I need to be reminded that working out is worth it because it truly benefits my mental health and it’s something personal that I’m accomplishing just for myself.The simplicity of a sand clock or hourglass is fantastic for a workout, especially interval training.
I started running as a way to help cope with anxiety that would plague me in public spaces.
“Disparate Youth” by Santigold: “While the bursts of guitars and thumping synths are enough to keep my pulse going, the song’s message of pushing through roadblocks and ‘running’ with your dreams always encourages me to finish my route. “Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels” by Todrick: “The beat is body-moving and makes me feel sassy.” -SELF reader Stacey Bennett Pierson. “Downtown” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. This song is so high energy that I can’t help but go into a full-on Center Stage/Save the Last Dance–style routine as soon as I press play-it’s completely infectious (but in a good way).” -Tiffany Dodson, associate market editor at SELF “I’m Really Hot” by Missy Elliot: “If I had an opportunity to do a solo in someone’s hip-hop dance class, this is probably the song I’d choose. “Backseat Freestyle” by Kendrick Lamar: “No song gets me going for runs or uptempo workouts like ‘Backseat Freestyle,’ which is some combination of Kendrick’s ego being absolutely contagious and the beat being perfect for keeping me motivated and in step.” -Lori Keong, commerce editor at SELF. It has the perfect beat for running, cycling, or boxing and just the right amount of yelling.” -Sarah Jacoby, senior health and beauty editor at SELF “The Fight Song” by Marilyn Manson: “One of the main reasons I work out is to deal with stress and frustration, and because this song always reminds me of my angsty teen phase, it’s a go-to for me. And the dance beat helps too.” -Hannah Pasternak, senior editor of emerging platforms at SELF “When a Fire Starts to Burn” by Disclosure: “This song does the perfect job of getting me to feel equal parts amped up and meditative, which is exactly what I like workouts to be. “The Greatest Show” by Zac Efron, Zendaya, Hugh Jackman, and Keala Settle. God bless mother nature!” -Sally Tamarkin, features director at SELF It makes me want to throw my head back, throw my arms in the air, and scream-sing along. “It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls: “It was released in 1982, but it’s a timeless classic and my favorite power-up song EVER, and is an integral part of any workout playlist I make. 
Plus, it's a classic!” -Sarah Madaus, editorial assistant at SELF
