]]>If you’re a runner or are just getting into running or if you do something similarly rhythmic like the elliptical or stationary bike, you can benefit from Spotify’s BPM playlists. Each playlist features songs that are a certain number of Beats Per Minute—meaning they will set your pace and keep you at a steady pace throughout your workout. You can mix and match for warmup and cool-down by starting with a slower BPM, switching to a faster playlist, and then switching back.
If your fitness of choice is something more controlled or peaceful like yoga or tai chi, Spotify has playlists for focus that feature ambient music and peaceful sounds to help you concentrate and set the mood.
Spotify also features great playlists specifically for working out in a variety of moods. Many are designed to give you energy, based on the music genre that gets you the most fired up!

]]>First recorded by Edward Meeker with lyrics by Jack Norworth, this tune is hummed by children all over the country. You probably knew the lyrics before you even knew what baseball was, and if you’ve been to a baseball game then you know it’s still played during the seventh inning at nearly every game.
The Beach Boys are one of the most classic all-American musical groups to make their way into the pop cannon. Even nearly 60 years after its recording, most adults can at least sing along to the chorus. It not only celebrates surfing, but California beach culture, naming several beaches of note in the lyrics as well as describing what a classic surfer wears and looks like.
First written and recorded by rapper Kurtis Blow, this classic rap song celebrates the game of basketball and names some b-ball legends that Blow looked up to. Being a little older, these lyrics are a great way to teach kids about the basketball stars they may not have heard of who made the game what it is today! Younger listeners might be more familiar with the 2002 cover by Bow Wow, recorded for the kid’s movie “Like Mike”.

]]>We all have that one genre of music that when it starts playing, we absolutely can’t control our bodies from moving along to the rhythm. This is the perfect type of music to listen to when you work out. Even when you start to get tired, having that intoxicating beat or melody in your ears will make it really difficult to stand still.
You can use Google or Spotify to find collections of songs that all play to a specific BPM (beats per minute). Since you’ll likely naturally move to the beat, a faster song will make for a more intense workout and a slower song for less intense. You can customize your playlist to slowly amp up the intensity and then cool down.
If you prefer to pretend you’re in a movie, you can also download playlists that make it sound like you’re running from zombies or a murderer in lieu of music. Now that’s motivating!
