It’s one of those classic songs you hear again and again.

I bet some people hum the chorus during steady, long-duration workouts like on a stepper, bike, or while jogging.

If you listen to it right when it starts to feel endless and your body begins to scream, it’ll surely carry you through to the finish.

It’s up to you to change yourself.

It’s a bright, upbeat song, so it seems great for workouts using dumbbells or a jump rope.

Especially recommended for when you’re just getting started—like right at the beginning of your diet.

Give it a try when you’re full of high expectations for the new you!

It’s a waste to rebound after reaching your diet goal because you couldn’t maintain it.

Extreme, short-term diets that harm your body defeat the purpose.

Even if it’s tough, steady effort will surely lead to the true goal in the end.

Don’t rush—take it slow, one step at a time.

This is the perfect song to accompany that kind of diet journey.

A powerful “You can do it!” is great, but a gentle one is nice too.

I want to do my best with dieting, but it’s hard to stay on high alert all the time.

When you’re feeling a bit mentally tired, this song offers a kind, encouraging cheer.

It’s a track I want to listen to during cool-down stretches.

It might seem like a slightly unusual BGM, but it’s a great song for women who started dieting to prove a man wrong.

If someone asked, “Did you gain weight?” or you got dumped by someone you like and thought, “I’ll become beautiful and show them!” then turn that anger into strength and become an even more captivating woman!
