The Top Ten Workout Songs Of 2013

• 6th Jan 2014

Over 70,000 votes were placed last year on Run Hundred, the web’s most heavily-trafficked workout music blog, and according to the folks polled there, the most popular artists in the gym this year were David Guetta and Pitbull. No surprises there for lowest common denominator in a gym environment then, not that we’re stereotyping (we are stereotyping).

There are chart hits—like those from Flo Rida and Jason Derulo. There are hits that got beat out by their own remixes—like those from Lady GaGa and Avicii. There are monster hits that didn’t make the cut—like Katy Perry’s “Roar” and Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines.” Lastly, there are songs that got more love in the gym than on the radio—like Fergie, Q-Tip, and GoonRock’s contribution to The Great Gatsby.

If you’re looking for a few tunes to jump start the new year—and possibly a new you—the list below provides 10 great places to start.

1. Pitbull & Christina Aguilera – Feel This Moment – 137 BPM
