Some Tunes for Working Out
I decided that I’m going to keep Sunday posts simple and fun. Today, I wanted to share some music I like listen to when I work out. A few days ago, I wrote about the music I listen to when I’m working to stay productive. The right music is even more important when you’re working out.
I prefer to listen to DJ mixes when exercising because they tend to be more energetic and the BPMs stay pretty consistent. BBC Radio 1 has a weekly show called The Essential Mix where they invite DJs of all styles to play for two hours. Often, it results in some really amazing mixes. And two hours is about how long I’m in the gym for most workouts. Here’s a few of my favorite mixes from over the years.
