There are so many of us whose new year resolutions start with “working out” but waking up early to jog or getting ready for a sweat in the gym is easier planned than done. Many of us never find the motivation to do it because work outs are hard work and need a lot of effort. Then music can provide perfect motivation by making you want to move to its beat. You can find that the gyms always play many fast-paced songs so that your body naturally responds to beats by moving at the right pace. Want to find yourself some music to get started? Here are top 10 workout songs to help you begin.

10 Best Workout Songs from Male Singers

1

Eye of the Tiger, Survivor

This song that we all know from Stallone's role in the movie Rocky is a sure-fire way to energize you and to make you move. Now how you use that movement is up to you - which is, as we recommend, by working out. It best suits cardio workouts with its rhythmic beat.

2

Till I Collapse, Eminem

Eminem's raps are out of this world, he is not called the legend for no reason. This song is motivational not only through the beats but through the lyrics, too: "Till my high burn out, I'mma rip this sh*t, till my bone collapse!" Get ready for a fast-paced heavy workout.

3

Mama Said Knock You Out, LL Cool J

All men love action, and this is what this song brings. With the lyrics that trigger a 'Punch harder' feeling as it portrays the manly fighting behavior, it motivates to give more energy. This song will fit best with workouts that require more energy and sweat in the gym.

4

Thunderstruck, AC/DC

This electrifying number from AC/DC has made it to this list because unlike many other hard metal and rock songs, this song has a step by step transition into intensity. This makes it perfect to affect your workout's intensity gradually from low to high, getting you worked up.

5

Remember the Name, Fort Minor

Being a very famous creation, this song in our top 10 workout songs has been on our TV screens for a long time, and has identified itself with NBA. Its association with sports is paired with its 'warm-up' beat that rises and drops throughout, so it is a good partner for lifting exercises.

Stronger, Kanye West

"Stronger" is slower than most on this list, but it has hit the top charts more than once. It has a nice and motivating rhythm that helps you get started in your workout routine, starting out slow and then building it up. This song by Kanye is preferably suited to warm-up routines.

7

Master of Puppets, Metallica

As the name of the band suggests, this song is a very heavy metal song that originally describes how drug use controls the humans, but depending on your perception, you can take its meaning to motivate you and control your body. Do some bench presses or heavy workouts with this one.

8

Victory, Puff Daddy

With an edge in its composition and lyrics, this is a song that features motivational lyrics that have a dance beat to them. It also has a slower pace and intensity but that helps workouts that require you to change many positions.

Joker and the Thief, Wolfmother

Wolfmother, an Australian hard rock band formed in 2000, has an extremely talented guitarist, which is the main reason why this song is in this list. The guitar-tune of this rhythm is full of energy which does not stay limited to the song, but emits to the listener. This goes well with treadmill and similar workout sessions.

10

Play Hard, David Guetta, Ne-Yo, Akon

By the all-time favorite artists, this song has motivational and repetitive lyrics like, "We work hard, play hard, work hard, we play hard" to keep you working out. As it repeats many words, this song is best for workouts that have many reps or sets of repetitive exercises.
