Top 40 workout music

Remember those earlier days at high school where you would do warm up exercises and you would hear your gym teacher’s voice drone out “Inhale, exhale..” on and on? Thank God those days are gone, and that depressing, monotonous voice we used to hear has been replaced by workout music to get pumped up for our exercise routines.

Several studies have been conducted to determine the effects a good workout music can do to an individual during exercise. These studies showed positive results and in fact, several researchers agree that a great workout music helps motivate trainees by encouraging them to exercise with vigor and enthusiasm. Those who use workout music to get pumped up tend to train longer since music serves as a good distraction from feeling exhaustion. This, of course, helps them burn more calories and makes workout routines more enjoyable.

These, however, are not the only benefits a great workout music can give us. Studies have also shown that music not only positively affects our bodies, it also stimulates our brains. Music energizes our brain cells and this fosters better memory and academic performance. It also increases our emotional quotient by giving us higher self-esteem and the ability to work well with others. Furthermore, music provides relaxation and is an excellent medium to express our mood and feelings.

With these facts in mind, we should start taking advantage of the benefits music can give us by finding ways to incorporate it in our lives. By using workout music during exercise, we not only increase our chances of staying in shape, but our workout music will also help us become well-rounded individuals.

The recent boom of health-consciousness within the public has given rise to many exercise machines being introduced to the market today. However, not many people are into strenuous workout activities which is why most workout gurus have introduced dancing as an alternative form of workout exercise.

There are many dance workouts to choose from: from hip hop to ballroom dancing, modern jazz to sensual dancing. All one has to do is to choose the best workout routine that fits your lifestyle, then choose the best workout music to suits your taste. So whether you are dancing a previously set workout routine, or just want to move your body and create your own workout style, here are some of the most popular workout music which can energize you to get up and move your feet.

“Glamorous” by Fergie
“Tell Me” by P. Daddy featuring Christina Aguilera
“Maneater” by Nelly Furtado
“Touch My Body” by Mariah Carey
“Eye of The Tiger” by Survivor

Workout music usually consist of upbeat dance and hip hop songs, but not all people enjoy dance and hip hop music as much as they enjoy hard rock or metal.

If you’re looking for hard rock workout music, there are a lot of bands and songs to choose from, and you’ll be surprised that they are perfect for working out.

Some of the rock bands which have upbeat songs are Fall Out Boy. Their Infinity On High album include a lot of songs which have nice rhythm and beats including This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race, The Take Over, the Breaks Over, Thks fr th Mmrs, and I’m Like a Lawyer with the Way I’m Always Trying to Get You Off (Me & You).

For more hardcore work out music, you could try songs from bands Kittie, Jack Off Jill, Lacuna Oil (specifically their album Karma Code), Tenacious D and Disturbed. They’re noisy, loud guitar riffs, but their songs have excellent hard rock beat.

Running Away by Hoobastank, Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple, and Show Me How to Live by Audioslave are a bit on the mellower side when you compare them to the previous hard rock workout music, but they still have good beat and perfect for a mellower routine.
