The Power of WARRIOR Music

2/20/2022

I was folding laundry today while listening to music. The song Power by J.Pollock and SVRCINA came on. It just sort of grabbed my soul. Had to stop…Had to look out the window at the blue skies and the clouds scudding across it. Power stopped my worried monkey mind and made me appreciate the present moment. Play with cat. Smile.

This is the undeniable power of music - to shift our mood and our awareness. It can be soothing, cathartic, energizing, and even inscrutable at times. This is one reason why we WARRIORs love Revolution, Rhythm and Strength. They are not just workouts. The playlists lift us up, move us, and make the world a better place to be for a while.

What is YOUR most powerful WARRIOR song so far?

My WARRIOR journey began with a deep admiration & respect of Ellen de Werd’s mastery of exercise physiology. Combine that with her encouraging playful vibe and full body workouts choreographed to great music.
