Now that the holidays are over and everyone is focusing on fitness, SurfWriter Girls Sunny Magdaug and Patti Kishel contacted workout music DJ Chris Lawhorn to find out the best way to energize your workouts.      


Whether you like to hit the gym or run or exercise on the beach, Lawhorn explains that having some good music on your headset can make a big difference, helping to put you in shape for your next paddle out, beach cleanup or volleyball game.


Lawhorn, a lifestyle contributor to Men’s Health, Real Age, Shape and Marie Claire magazines, knows how to use music to the maximum effect when you’re working out. Combining music and metrics, he not only looks for the best songs, but calculates the “beats per minute” for each selection so you can be your own DJ and set the pace you want.


Take a look at the list of songs below that Lawhorn shared with SurfWriter Girls to see which songs were the most popular for 2013. “If you’re looking for a few tunes to jump start the New Year – and possibly a new you – the list provides ten great places to start,” Lawhorn advises.

Whatever your workout mood or goals, chances are there are some songs that can get you pumping.

For the songs you want to listen to in 2014, check out Lawhorn’s free music database at RunHundred.com. It’s the world’s most heavily trafficked workout music blog and you’ll find lots to choose from. You can browse the song selections there by genre, tempo, and era to find the music that best fits with your particular workout routine.

  
Lawhorn puts together new compilations of workout music each month – based on the votes cast by the subscribers to his website – so there’s always something fresh there waiting for you to discover.


With all the music choices, there’s no excuse not to get moving to the beat! Whether it’s walking, running, cycling, aerobics or martial arts, now is the time to kick your beach workout routine into high gear.


And the Beat Goes On!
