The 60 Best Songs for Grinding Through a Workout

Workouts are all about the grind. A grueling HIIT-session or PR day can push you past your mental and physical limits to the point of sweat-drenched, mind-numbing exhaustion. And a perfectly curated song—one that fuels your body at its core like a literal shot to the heart—can help get you there.

The greatness of an epic workout song requires a few things. An upbeat tempo, for one. (See: Kanye West's adrenaline-fueled Power.) Lyrics are another. (Dua Lipa's Physical is a natural choice.) But a killer workout song, the kind that makes you finally hit your stride on a long run, just has to make you feel damn good. After all, workouts are also about bettering yourself; sometimes, you just need a quick reminder that you're already well on your way.
