You Need These Workout Playlists In Your Life

It's no secret that getting motivated to exercise can be harder than the workout itself. Struggling to get over that hump? Don't laugh, but it might help to think of your exercise time as a school disco - i.e. you’re going to feel really awkward and inclined to linger by the wall until a really great song comes on.

With that in mind, we’re rounding up our favourite workout tracks, from fresh remixes to old favourites. Get ready to catch yourself humming through your jog, virtual HIIT class, or yoga practice. Music is a powerful thing, you guys. And, don’t worry, Beyoncé does indeed make an appearance.

Don't be surprised if you end up keeping a steadier pace while listening. And if you're in need of further reassurance that the playlist maketh the workout, research has also found that music with a strong beat has been found to help people's movements stay consistent during exercise. Get your heart pumping with this set of bangers.

Trying to keep pace is one thing, and being motivated enough to keep running is another. Spotify's "Run This Town" playlist is here to help with both in this collection of 150-165BMP R&B bangers.
