    The 52 Best Workout Songs

    The Art of Manliness Blog lists the 52 best workout songs:

    …the 52 best workout songs were
    selected in an epic exploration of the foot-tapping, guitar-screaming
    and beat-boxing tracks that have found a welcome home in gyms across
    America. Most of them famous, some very obscure, but all great songs
    for running, lifting, spinning and any other workout you can think of.

    As for selection criteria one key element stood out from all the rest: tempo.
    Why? According to experts it is the most important factor in enhancing
    workout performance because it provides timing and coordination for
    your movements. Music in the 120-140 beats-per-minute (bpm)
    range is best for most aerobic exercise because it most closely matches
    the average person’s heart rate.

    Go here to see the list. I’m not sure about some of the songs that made the list. I’d  workout to about half of these songs.
