          How to Build Your Playlist

          1

          Pick Your Workout

          Choose your workout type and total duration. Each type has different BPM ranges based on typical intensity patterns. A HIIT session has a wider peak range than yoga.

          Tips for Better Playlists

          Transition Gradually

          Don't jump from 90 to 160 BPM between songs. Place a few tracks in the middle range so the shift feels natural. Your body notices sudden tempo changes.

          Check Your Actual Pace

          Your running cadence might not match the song's BPM exactly. Some people step on every beat, others on every other beat. Test a few songs before building a full playlist.

          Account for Remixes

          A remix can change a song's BPM by 10-30 beats. Always check the specific version you plan to use. The radio edit and the extended mix are often different tempos.

          Build for the Hardest Part

          Put your most motivating songs in the peak phase. That's when you need the extra push. Save calmer tracks for warm-up and cool-down.

          What to Know Before You Start

          • Phase durations use a 20/60/20 split (warm/peak/cool) which works for most cardio workouts. Strength training and yoga may need different splits.
          • BPM ranges are based on exercise physiology research and common training practices. They are starting points, not strict rules.
          • This page does not connect to Spotify, Apple Music, or any streaming service. It helps you plan the order, then you build the playlist in your preferred app.
