The New Year is here and there is one thing on everyone’s mind…FITNESS! Although, it is an inconvenient truth that it is tough sticking to a new workout routine, there are ways to combat the urge to give up.
Music is known to be a motivating factor. When it comes to fitness music can distract from fatigue while working out. The speed or beat of a song can help create a comfortable cadence to flow through a workout routine. The right song can be the difference that helps you complete your fitness goal.
The American Heart Association recommends a target heart rate zone of 100-160 bpm (beats per minute) for 20- 36 year old's during moderately intense to hard physical activity. THE ULTIMATE WORKOUT PLAYLIST will have your heart rate matching this suggested target zone by providing songs with similar bpm.
An ideal workout includes a warm-up and a cool down. has you covered in both departments. We start off in the 120-135 bpm range for warm up, then depending on if it’s a cardio or strength training day, the beats per minute range from 140-160, and finally to cool down we bring the tunes down to 100-120 bpm.
