Oh and lest we forget, it will also provide you with cardiovascular benefits.

How does it work?

Not all workout routines can be affected by music.

For instance, high-intensity workouts like weight-lifting, jump roping, speed walking, and high-intensity interval training do not change with the music.

However, activities like brisk walking, running, biking and swimming were greatly affected by the involvement of music.

Okay, but how?

Here’s an app that can help make this whole “heartbeat per minute” thing extremely easy for you; Spotify!

If Spotify is not your thing, there’s a website where you can search for songs by title and find out their BPM.

We just went ahead and have listed some of the high-tempo Pakistan songs and their BPM for you here:

  • Asrar’s “Shakar Wandaan” is 120 BPM
  • Abdullah Siddique’s “Resistance” is 100 BPM
  • Ibrar-ul-haq’s “Nach Punjaban” is 142 BPM
  • Momina’s “Koko Korina” is 110 BPM
  • Ali Zafar’s “Channo” is 128 BMP
