What's the BPM?

Music is such an important part of my workout routine. Research has shown that songs with a tempo of 120 bpm (beats per minute) or higher are great for cardio exercise. This is because your heart rate will naturally want to sync to the tempo of the music. MY INNER SKINNY CHICK says: Everything is better with a soundtrack. So find yours and get MOVING.

Here a list of my favorite songs to listen to while running. Most of these songs have a tempo of 120 bpm or higher. Feel free to steal these and add them to your playlist.
