A new study shared that high-tempo music, 170 beats per minute or higher, gives humans the best cardiovascular benefits during workouts and reduces perceived effort. Some of the best songs you’re supposed to add to your playlist that fit the criteria include:
- Eminem – “Lose Yourself” at 171 BPM
- Jay Z – “Empire State Of Mind” at 173 BPM
- Beyonce – “Naughty Girl” at 199 BPM
- Taylor Swift – “Untouchable” at 200 BMP
- Moby – “Thousand” at only 137 BMP, but holds world record for climbing to 1,015 BPM
Bobby Bones often does workouts that include intense cardio, so he also has his own list of songs that get him pumped up when he’s working out:
- Calvin Harris – “Summer”
- Kayne West – “Power”
- Cage The Elephant – “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked”
- Drake – “Nice For What”
- Ed Sheeran & Travis Scott – “Antisocial”
