Run Hundred–Top 10 Workout Songs for August

This e-mail certainly came at a great time for me since tomorrow starts my personal training with Paige! I’m nervous/excited and really hope that I can stick with this plan. And this month’s list is great because I actually know all of the artists! And was it just me, or did anyone else think it was Katy Perry singing on that last song?

If you were working on a workout music time capsule—trying to show future generations what folks listened to in the gym in 2012—the highlights from August alone would nearly do the trick.

In this month’s top 10, running favorites LMFAO, Flo Rida, and Pink all made appearances. Pitbull turned up twice—once in a remix and once with Shakira. And, the year’s two biggest hits (“Call Me Maybe” and “Somebody That I Used to Know”) were both reinvented as club tracks.

Here’s the full list, according to votes placed at Run Hundred–the web’s most popular workout music blog.

Flo Rida – Whistle – 103 BPM
Pitbull & Shakira – Get It Started – 129 BPM
The Wanted – Chasing the Sun – 129 BPM
Calvin Harris & Ne-Yo – Let’s Go – 130 BPM
Pink – Blow Me (One Last Kiss) – 113 BPM
Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen – Good Time – 126 BPM
Pitbull – Back in Time (Play-N-Skillz Remix) – 128 BPM
