The turkey’s been carved, the leftovers devoured, and it’s finally time to head home, but the feasts—and, more importantly, the festivities—are far from over. Now, we’re gearing up for party season, otherwise known as the five solid weeks of cocktails and blowout fetes that call for bottomless reserves of energy and holiday cheer.

“It’s all Punjabi music for me. Punjabi beats are just different from all the pop songs that are [on the radio] right now. I listen to it when I need energy, like when I do yoga—I’ve been [practicing] it for about 12 years, and prefer it to an intense workout.”

“ ‘Your Games’ by TJPN, who's a DJ. During workouts, I listen to either melodic death metal or deep house to keep me going—as long as it keeps up adrenaline! I listen to it sometimes when I’m with a personal trainer, when I do yoga or Pilates—and when I’m on my cross-trainer at the gym, of course.”

“Lately, I've been listening to a lot of rap. The beat and the tempo are usually consistent, which is good for working out since it keeps you on the same pace—I could be on the elliptical, I could be doing crunches, or I could be doing lunges.”

“I love hip-hop and R&B, and I love ‘Feeling Myself’ by Nicki Minaj—I love it! I hate running and I hate cardio, so every time I go to run on the West Side Highway, I try to listen to something like that. Then I’m like, ‘Oh, that's sexy,’ and I will push myself to run a little faster.”

“ ‘Stronger’ by
Kanye West. It pumps me up, you know? I listen to it when I go Title Boxing, which is my favorite thing ever. I've been doing it for more than six months now, so I’m getting there. If you're hyped-up and have all this energy, it just releases it.”

“ ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ by
The Weeknd for when I go swimming, or on walks with my dogs—I like to do natural workouts.”
