The Top 10 Workout Songs for May 2015

By Ruth on May 6, 2015 in fitness, health, Music

Fort Wayne, IN – May 5, 2015 – While every month brings with it a crop of new tunes, May’s releases bring an unusually high number of fast songs and remixes. Both are ideal for your workout as quick tunes naturally lend themselves to momentum and remixes give proven hits a second wind.

On the uptempo end of things, you’ll find songs above 140 beats per minute (BPM) from pop phenom Meghan Trainor, rockers Florence + The Machine, and breakout star Katy Tiz. In the remix department, you’ll find a club cut from Kelly Clarkson, a collaboration between Maroon 5 and Nicki Minaj, and a version of “Uptown Funk” that dials up the intensity of an already boisterous track.

Just as a remix can breathe new life into a familiar favorite, a few new songs can liven up an entire playlist. So, take a listen to some this month’s highlights, see what moves you, and put the winners to work.

Here’s the full list, according to votes placed at Run Hundred–the web’s most popular workout music blog.

Natalie La Rose & Jeremih – Somebody – 105 BPM

Meghan Trainor – Dear Future Husband – 158 BPM

Mumford & Sons – The Wolf – 153 BPM

Maroon 5 & Nicki Minaj – Sugar (Remix) – 121 BPM

LunchMoney Lewis – Bills – 126 BPM

Florence + The Machine – Ship to Wreck – 142 BPM

Tove Lo – Talking Body – 120 BPM

Kelly Clarkson – Heartbeat Song (Nebuer Remix) – 135 BPM

Thanks for sharing your list of songs. It’s always nice to see what others are listening to while doing their workouts. I tend to listen to the same ones, so I’m always looking for stuff that I don’t already have or know of. Thanks, again.

I agree with Sally. I don’t know most of these songs. I will download them and see how they sound.
