Feb. Workout Top 10
TOP 10 WORKOUT TRACKS FOR FEBRUARY: Well, this is highly unusual—only one remix appears in Run Hundred’s latest tally, according to the votes of untold thousands of gym rats, solitary runners and other sweat-covered listeners. There are three all-star collabs, however, as a well as a heavier than usual complement of Pop acts, which is less surprising than finding Country singer Jerrod Niemann at #3. Modern Rock has a trio of representatives in Neon Trees (best-known for the workout staple “Everybody Talks”), Fitz & the Tantrums and Grouplove, while the recent U.K. hit from club-rocker Martin Garrix appears to have legs on this side of the pond as well, at least with the aerobic crowd.
Enrique Iglesias & Pitbull, “I'm a Freak” – 128 BPM
Neon Trees, “Sleeping with a Friend” – 107 BPM
Jerrod Niemann, “Drink to That All Night” – 116 BPM

By contrast, the instructors at our neighborhood fitness club (we like to think of them as cardio curators) are presently playlisting Broken Bells’ “No Matter What You’re Told,” KONGOS’ “Come With Me Now,” Arcade Fire’s “Afterlife,” Foster the People’s “Coming of Age,” Bastille’s “Pompeii” and Kodaline’s “All I Want.” Put that in your device and vape it.
