Best Workout Songs to Work Up a Sweat

Best Workout Songs to Work Up a Sweat

By Simone Gardner

You rarely see a person working out in the rec center without headphones in their ears. Of course, there's always Sirius satellite radio or a local radio station playing in the rec center. I personally like having my Ipod with me when I work up a sweat. So I took a survey on what people liked to listen to when they worked out. Some of these songs are fast and upbeat tunes to jam out to on the treadmill where others are more laid back and are great for lifting weights and stretching. Here's the top 10 list:

10.)MGMT "Kids" Great for a warmup on the treadmill.

9.) House of Pain "Jump Around"

8.) The Sex Pistols "Anarchy in the U.K."

7.) Cold War Kids "Hang Me Up to Dry"

6.) Nicki Minaj "Did it On' Em" Great for lifting weights.

5.)Flo Rida "Good Feeling" Great for sprinting on the treadmill.

4.)Daft Punk "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" Great for any type of workout.

3.) Kanye West and Jay Z "Ni**as in Paris"

2.) The Killers "Mr. Brightside" (Remix)

1.) Guns 'N Roses "Welcome to the Jungle"

I hope these songs help you work up a sweat!
