Music can help keep you moving!

I know that when it comes to working out, I can't keep moving without great music. It's tough sometimes to find a good mix of music that keeps you going at a good pace, but I found an article on Women's Health Magazine's website that gives 8 different playlists with a wide variety of music. Even if you don't like any of the lists in it's entirety, you may be able to mix and match some of them together (along with some of your own music) to create a great workout playlist.
 
One of the most important things to consider is a song’s tempo, which should be between 120 and 140 beats-per-minute, or B.P.M. That pace coincides with the range of most commercial dance music, and many rock songs are near that range, which leads people to work out at that sustained pace. It also roughly corresponds to the average person’s heart rate during a routine workout.


Create your own playlist - and share it! Most people are always looking for a great mix for the gym.
