The Most Popular Music for Workouts

The website fitrated.com did a huge survey on the music genres we like to listen to when we’re breaking a sweat…and the number one artist is Lady Gaga! Pop is the top genre we listen to followed by hip-hop, classic rock, alternative, e-d-m, and metal. Gaga is obviously the most popular artist in the pop category. Hip-hop fans prefer The Weeknd. Classic rockers like Queen. For alternative fans it’s the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The EDM crowd is partial to the Chainsmokers and the metalheads, not surprisingly, are motivated by Metallica.  If you’re looking to optimize your workout, hip-hop is your best bet. Listening to rap apparently leads to the most intense workouts.
