Research shows workouts to get your heart rate up are better for most people when listening to music at 180 beats per minute. Would love to hear some song suggestions. Think there may be apps to speed up your playlists. Anyone know which apps are best for this?

    I don't know about apps. I found this list though. I'm thinking I need to start following the BPM. My speed isn't improving. I'll go from a rocking metal song to a softie.

    Don't know about Apps but find yourself some Punk Rock!! Nothing better for any situation but is the best ever for exercise. Rancid is my favorite band.

    I put pandora on Shakira radio. It is upbeat and I feel like I'm on vacation because everything is in Spanish.

    Pandora has fitness stations, and you can pick whatever genre you like. Slacker has fitness stations as well, including a station that is all between 150-190 bpm.
