Are you one of those people that needs music to work out? You’re not alone. Millions of people around the world can’t exercise without music in their ears. Numerous science studies dating back to 1911 have discovered music can make you exercise harder and keep you motivated even when you want to give up.

So, here are our recommended and favourite songs for the best workout music to keep you motivated.

Recommendations for Workout Music

Best Songs for Running

For running requires a fast tempo that is uplifting and motivating. Most songs should fall in the 120-140 beats per minute (BPM) range to keep pace with your running stride:

  • “Eye of the Tiger” – Survivor
  • “Lightning Bolt” –  Jake Bugg
  • “Born to Run” – Bruce Springsteen
  • “A-Yo”- Lady Gaga
  • “Good Feeling” – Flo Roda
  • “Fight Song” – Rachel Platten

Best Songs for Indoor Cycling

Like running, you want a fast tempo for indoor cycling. Indoor cycling classes can vary from long slow climbs to short and fast sprints. Here’s a playlist that can work with both the sprints and the climbs:

  • “Check, Run It” – T.I.
  • “Do or Die” – Afrojack vs. Thirty Seconds to Mar Remix
  • “Night of Your Life” – David Guetta (Feat. Jennifer Hudson)
  • “Into the Night” – Santana
  • “Hello” – Paul Damixie Remix
  • “DJ Turn It Up” – Yellow Claw

Best Songs for Lifting Weights

For weightlifting, you want songs that will keep you motivated and focused on your technique. Music with a good beat includes:

  • “Till I Collapse” – Eminem & Nate Dogg
  • “B.O.B.” – Outkast
  • “I Can’t Stop” – Flux Pavilion
  • “Power” – Kayne West
  • “Run the World (Girls)” – Beyonce
  • “Welcome to the Jungle” – Guns N’ Roses

Best Songs for Yoga or Pilates

For yoga and Pilates, you want to slow it down a bit. The best songs for these forms of exercise are more instrumental and ballad-like:

  • “Africa” – Cottonbelly Remix
  • “Tessellate” – Ellie Goulding
  • “Sunrise” – Norah Jones
  • “Sail Away” – David Gray
  • “Chasing Cars” – Counting Crows
  • “Watermark” – Enya

Musical taste is very personal, so it’s okay if you hate your mate’s workout playlist. You won’t hate our list, of course, because we know best! Funnily enough, Tom Connick over at NME.com reported that, based on a Spotify report, “Eminem is the gym-goer’s workout music of choice”.  This just goes to show there’s no accounting for taste 🙂

We love the songs listed above for exercising but you might not. Leave a comment below and tell us what songs should make the Fitbodz best workout music song list! (just don’t suggest Eminem)
