Workout Songs

Workout songs are chosen for drive and aggression: fast or pounding tempos, heavy low end, and riffs or drops that give you something to push against. Metal is the biggest part of this page, with Metallica, Slipknot, Pantera, Slayer, Rammstein, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest supplying the heaviest material, plus nu-metal staples like Disturbed's “Down with the Sickness” and Drowning Pool's “Bodies.” Many of these songs have chant-like choruses or stop-start riffs that line up naturally with reps.

Electronic adds another kind of intensity through The Prodigy, Skrillex's dubstep, Darude's “Sandstorm” and festival anthems from David Guetta and Martin Garrix. Hip-hop brings Eminem's “Lose Yourself,” Kanye West's “Stronger” and Kendrick Lamar's “HUMBLE.,” while rock contributes AC/DC, Queen's “We Will Rock You” and The White Stripes' “Seven Nation Army.” BLACKPINK and Stray Kids add K-pop firepower. Grab the track that gets you moving, and its page will line up more songs with the same punch.
