Good Workout Songs

Well one thing is clear. If you've ever been to a gym, they will always play songs with a faster beat or a higher volume. Good workout songs tend to be louder as they some how push people to work out harder. Why? And what are the best workout songs for guys and best workout songs for women?

Good Workout Songs to Play

It has been seen in gyms worldwide, which effectively makes it a global phenomena rather than a local one-that some songs tend to make people harder. Which are these songs? Traditionally gyms have played songs which have a faster beat, a louder bass or hard music or hard vocals. Somehow, the intensity levels of these songs increase our intensity levels while working out. We tend to feel more energetic when we hear certain songs and then we push ourselves harder in the gym. A lot of gyms used DJ remixed versions of softer songs which again lends them a higher intensity.

Commonly accepted good workout songs are basically of two genres: hip-hop and rock. So while listing out the good workout songs, I'll classify them in three groups: rock workout songs, hip hop workout songs and pop workout songs.
