BPM Playlists

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.

General Playlists

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!

Choose Music That Makes You Want to Dance

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.

Match the Beat to the Intensity

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.

Sound Effects

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!

Song Choice

It’s difficult to enjoy a gym session if you’re working out to songs you don’t enjoy, so make sure all the tracks on your playlist are absolute bangers. If you get bored of them after some time, get ready to make a new playlist for your next workout.

Rhythm and Flow

Some songs you adore simply won’t be a good fit for your workout because they don’t have the right rhythm. Always go for the tracks with an upbeat and energetic tone. Bonus points if they have great, motivational lyrics that will get you in the mood for your workout.

Perfect Balance

Arranging the songs by beat can make or break your workout playlist. The type of workout you’re doing will determine how upbeat the songs are going to be. Music with a tempo of 120-140 BPM is the most popular with fitness lovers, but you can go up or down for more or less intense workouts.

Members of the K-pop band discussed their Grammy prep with Radio.com and singled out Silk Sonic’s “Leave the Door Open” and Ariana Grande’s “Test Drive” as their go-to workout songs.

“We’re listening to Bruno Mars and Anderson’s Silk Sonic new song. And one thing is that Ariana [Grande]’s new album is the best for the treadmill. The tempo and her voice is amazing,” said BTS member RM during the interview.

“Leave the Door Open” has yet to be turned into a home workout video, but training to Grande’s latest album Position isn’t out of question. If you want to work out just like BTS, you can try dance cardio workouts to the beat of Position, shared by YouTube channels MadFit, Kyra Pro, and The Fitness Marshall.

Workout videos inspired by BTS’s songs are also all over YouTube right now. MadFit shared brief dance cardio workouts with the band’s hit singles “On”, “Dynamite”, and “Boy in Luv”, but you can find more elaborate choreographies at Sunny Funny Fitness and Cardio Party Mashup Fitness.

Johnson revealed he has “thousands of favorite workout tracks”, but that he agreed to make a playlist that includes 30 ultimate workout jams. He hand-picked 27 songs, and asked his fans to help him choose the final three songs by sending their suggestions.

Judging by his playlist so far, the Fast & Furious star has a soft spot for legendary rock and metal bands, such as Guns N Roses and Metalica. He also enjoys working out to smash hits by famous hip-hop artists, such as Eminem, Tupac, and Drake.

We can’t wait for Johnson’s playlist to hit Spotify, but this actually isn’t the first time he shared his workout songs on a major streaming service. Back in 2017, he curated a playlist of workout tracks for Apple Music, and it included songs from Bruno Mars and Disturbed.

The new “Soundtrack Your Workout” option lets Spotify users make a personalized workout playlist that suits their needs. The streaming platform already offers countless predesigned workout playlists, so what does set their new feature apart?

“Soundtrack Your Workout” allows you to select the length and content you want to listen to, and asks you to answer a couple of questions in order to create a great mix. It also takes your listening habits in mind, providing you with a perfect mash of your favorite songs.

Spotify’s global culture and trends communications expert, Shanon Cook, explained their decision to launch this special feature by saying that listeners have created over a million workout playlists in the last two months alone. They want to help them boost motivation and keep their spirits high by offering fresh, personalized workout playlists.

Luca P. Ardigò of the University of Verona in Italy, one of the professors who conducted this research, pointed out that exercising can seem more effortless to people who are listening to fast music along the way.

“We found that listening to high-tempo music while exercising resulted in the highest heart rate and lowest perceived exertion compared with not listening to music. This means that the exercise seemed like less effort, but it was more beneficial in terms of enhancing physical fitness.”

Ardigò and his colleagues mostly focused on the effects of high-tempo music on endurance training, and volunteers in the study were performing two types of exercises—walking on a treadmill or using a leg press.

The experience of listening to music during workouts is still highly subjective, and it depends on many factors. If you enjoy it, try adding some faster tunes to your workout playlist, and see if they change your sweat session for the better.
