I’ve just started the gym, when I Google suggestions for music it’s lots of rap and proper dance.
Im middle aged and need more middle of the road suggestions if anyone has any?

What do you like to listen to normally?

TurkeyTwizlers · 18/08/2025 20:46

The radio! I don’t listen to anything specific these days anymore.

Maybe chat gpt could make you a list? I like working out to heavy metal! I have apple music and when a playlist I created ends it automatically plays music it thinks I'll like, which is great as I've discovered new bands so I can then add more to my playlist.

Thats a good idea!

My go to for the gym is 90s and early 2000s dance/chart and cheesy stuff - Ecuador, Freed from Desire etc with a bit of similar but more modern (eg Joel corry)

It's the bpm you want.
Your brain naturally wants to match the rhythm. So cardio and high intensity, 140-180bpm.
I type in the bpm into Spotify and it gives me a playlist of songs I like based on that.

Cheesy dance is good and the bpm is excellent. I noticed a lot of suggestions I’ve seen are quite slow!
