The Best Jogging Songs
What is the best music for jogging?
The best exercise songs for jogging are ones that set the tempo of your run. In fact, most runners use music to help set their speed,
which is why understanding the beats per minute (BPM) of a song can be beneficial. Most joggers will want to choose music with a BPM
between 135 to 155 BPM for the main portion of the run, and a slightly slower song for the beginning and ending to warm up and cool down.
Try to choose songs that are close in BPM, to ensure your speed stays constant.
Jogging music should provide motivation and encouragement to the runner. Always be sure to have enough songs in your
collection for the duration of your run. You do not want to run out of songs at the conclusion of your exercise, since this
is the critical moment you may need them the most. Songs range in length from about 3 to 5 minutes long, so plan on using at least 10 to 12 songs for a 45 minute workout.
