Help with Music

magster4isu

I am looking for suggestions of songs to add to my workout/running playlist. I have a fairly eclectic taste in music, including Country, Rock, Pop, Hip Hop/Rap, Christain. I also enjoy music from every generation ('50s through today). I just need songs with a good beat and songs that will keep me motivated.

Thanks in advance for all the wonderful ideas!!

some of my current mixes include:
Mardi Gras - Dierks Bently
Dog Days are Over - Florence and the Machine
Chelsea Dagger - The Fratellis
Freedom - George Michael
Jackie and Wilson - Hozier
A lot of songs by Imagine Dragons (such good beats)
Shake it Off - Taylor Swift
Snapback - Old Dominion

I was totally thinking about a post like this last night too! Looking forward to other suggestions!

I used to pick workout songs by their BPM (beats per minute) so I could find the right tempo for whatever workout I was doing. There's a website called https://songbpm.com where you can find the BPM of any song or look songs up by their BPM to find all different music that will work for your workout

That website is awesome. Thank you!

I'm a huge fan of the songs "something I'm good at" by Brett Elderidge and "beautiful drug" by Zac Brown Band

I love to listen to eminem when i workout. Not many people (girls mostly) like him but, he is a great motivator for me. I find I workout better because I am so focused on the lyrics that I engross myself in them while pushing myself to run or walk to the main beats. Most other music I find doesnt really work for me because the lyrics or beats aren't engaging enough.

Spotify is really good for finding what works for you! I highly reccommend it!

I use the Rockmyrun app. Free and I put up with them trying to sell me on it every so often. One day I may pay for it, but I can rummage through to find things I like that work with my cadence.

Monster is one of the Eminem songs I have on repeat. Excellent cadence.

i listen to a lot of 80s rock when i run- poison, journey,van halen. i also get a lot of motivation from movie songs- the rocky songs gonna fly now, eye of the tiger, hearts on fire, no easy way out. from karate kid- you're the best around, from the legend of billie jean- invincible, and st elmos fire theme. just to name a few. good luck :-)
