We all need something to keep us going during exercise, especially in the gym. The right music can be just the thing for energizing tired muscles for one more mile or one more rep. These websites are some of my favorite places for getting workout music, or music-based workouts that include the guidance of personal trainers.
This excellent site offers tons of great music, no matter what your tastes are. They also offer informative articles about finding the right tempo and how to make music work for you. Many of compilations are available in CD or MP3 format and most music is remixed in order the change the tempo of the songs, so they aren't by the original artists.
This is such a great website. Continuous music plays for everything from cardio workouts to yoga and strength training. The music streams right to your iTunes software and you can listen as long as you want. The only drawback is that you can't download it, so you have to listen to it on your computer.
Wouldn't it be cool if workouts could be made with all your favorite tunes? Podfitness does just that. Subscribe to the service for a monthly fee and you get to download workouts that are mixed with your favorite playlists.
This is another great site that offers a huge selection of workout music for any type of workout. This is great for fitness instructors, but I like having high-energy music like this for my own workouts as well.
I have to admit, I almost never do a cardio machine workout without one of Sean's Cardio Coach workouts. He offers 6 different volumes, each one a high-intensity interval workout involving sprints, hills and, sometimes, both together. Excellent for getting a great workout and making the time fly.
Over the years, my readers have chimed in with their favorite workout songs and playlists. Their excellent suggestions are a resource you can come back to again and again whenever you need some new ideas for exercise music.
