Listening to music is a very good motivator when working out. Apps such as Pandora and Spotify offer a variety of workout playlists to choose from free of charge. On Pandora, my favorite station to listen to while at the gym is Pop and Hip Hop Power Workout. It offers a good variety of up beat songs that help take your focus off of the intensity of your workout.
Music also ups your effort in your workouts and puts you in the zone. The tempo and beats of the songs cause you to go harder, run faster, and do more reps. Music also helps you to keep your pace while running/jogging/walking/biking/rowing/etc.
I have attached an article that I found on fitnessmagazine.com that lists the top workout songs from each genre. This will help you start your awesome workout playlist that will motivate you to kick some calories to the curb in the gym!
