“Music with a good beat boosts your mood and makes each session more effective and enjoyable,” said Tyler Read, the founder of PTPioneer.com. “If you aim to do high-intensity workouts, songs with a BPM of 120-160, like Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” can help you push harder and maximize calorie burn with its fast tempo and motivating lyrics. For warm-ups or cool-downs, tracks with a BPM of 60-100, like Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero,” can assist in preparing your body for exercise or bringing your heart rate down for recovery post-workout. These choices reflect a personal connection to the music’s rhythm and lyrics, which is important for boosting your mood and optimizing your exercise routine, making each session more effective and enjoyable.”
