With that in mind, we're rounding up our favorite tracks for workouts, from fresh remixes to old favorites. Last week, we favored the latter — songs you're already emotionally attached to may actually motivate you more. Now, it's time to give some of our favorite remixes their due.
Don't be surprised if you end up keeping a steadier pace while listening. Music with a strong beat has been found to help people's movements stay consistent during exercise.
This is the playlist to get you moving — the gym's never been so fun.
Check back in the following weeks for more of your favorite tracks.
