Jamming during cardio

July 21, 2017 1:24 PM

Can you recommend to me uptempo songs with a heavy bass I can listen to while doing cardio? Ideally the song should stay uptempo the whole way through - many I've thought would work well actually slow down during parts of the song.

Some examples of what I've liked so far:

My absolute favorite workout song is Scheiße by Lady Gaga, the tempo is perfect, it's fun to listen to, and it doesn't slow down. How To Be a Heartbreaker by Marina and the Diamonds is close but it has that slow section about 3/4 of the way through (I still work out to this one anyway and can tolerate a slow section as long as this song's). The Metro by Berlin doesn't have the strong bass I prefer but has a great tempo and is a really fun song and another of my faves for working out to.

Spotify has a running option that allows you to set your desired tempo. But the free version comes with (non-tempo) ads, so if you wanted to actually use it beyond a trial workout or two, you'd really have to pay.

'Krazy' by Pitbull. SO catchy and fun! And, I don't think it slows down at all, but I dont have the entire thing memorized and can't listen to it as I'm at work.

Zumba playlists might have what you're looking for.

I simply cannot get enough of this, and it is all uptempo.

Give "Freaks" by Timmy Trumpet a shot.

Seconding looking up zumba playlists.

My cardio favorites are Robyn and La Roux.
