The 100 Best Workout Songs of 2012

By , SparkPeople Blogger
It's the most wonderful time of the year! And no, I'm not referring to Santa, cookies or presents. I'm talking about music. It's time for us to crown the mother of all workout songs in our "best of the year" music playlist, which is one of my favorite things to do.
 
All year long, I've been compiling a running list of the best workout songs that were released (or popular) within the last 12 months. Here, you'll find the top best songs that had people running, Spinning, dancing, lifting and exercising throughout 2012. 

But that's not all: This list is the BEST of the best! I asked members of SparkPeople.com, America's #1 weight loss and fitness website, to vote on their favorites. Find out which song took the top spot,  whether your favorites made the list, and how you can download a brand new 60-minute cardio workout mix of the top 12 songs (as voted on by exercisers like you)!
