Alright yall, lets rap (*sits backwards on chair*).
High intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts are the best for a lot of reasons theyre quick and efficient, fantastic for improving cardio and strength, and theyre one of the best workouts for weight loss.
Theyre also hard AF, which means a bumping, kick-ass playlist is a must before you set your timer and get to work.
Never fear, fellow baddies. Your ultimate HIIT playlist has arrived.
This songs moody intro featuring the epic It cant be bargained with, it doesnt feel pain line from The Terminator will have you ready to sprint for your life.
If the opener doesnt light a fire under your butt, the track keeps a steady tempo filled with beat drops, tingly synth, and an undercurrent of motivating dread (plus a super high energy finish) that will have you dripping with sweat by the end.
Try to keep up with this scorching Post Malone remix. The pace keeps things moving f-a-s-t, ideal for quick maneuvers like punches, high knees, or speed grapevines.
Just like your HIIT, this track is locas. Youll also love the spacing of tempos the bridge slows it down for rest periods while the chorus takes things back up when its time to work.
Flash back to high school, anyone? This groovy beat gets a tempo upgrade thatll have you humming through your workout.
BPMs for the win here. This song is a touch over 3 minutes and keeps a steady rhythm thatll keep you in the zone.
OK, so youre starting to feel tired. Time for a second wind with this bad boy. The hype of this song is real and has carried Greatist editors through many a tough HIIT round.
Every HIIT needs a couple fun bops, which is why were all about this fun dance party track. Ignore the fire in your lungs and let Becky Hills carefree lyrics whisk you away.
So you want more Lose Control, but make it 2010s. This throwback is, for many of us 90s kids, the Missy Elliott release we never thought wed see. If Ciaras smooth vocals dont make you want to get your backs off the wall, we dont know what will.
Is there a better soundtrack for a round of squats, burpees, lunges, or any other moves that require you get low? No the answer is no.
The beat drops in this banger are motivating with a capital M. Let yourself go a little crazy no ones watching.
Were entering the last leg of this playlist, dont stop now! If anything can keep the energy high, its this throwback remix. Get into it and keep it going!
Lil Wayne, check. Hype at its best, check. Need we say more?
This whimsical track is great when you need a distraction. The beat is steady and its full of the kind of playfulness and sass that only Dragonette can deliver.
This is the final push and theres only one accented, belt-out-loud ballad that can carry you across the finish line: Zombie eh, eh, eh. Give it your all. The next song is the cool down.
Time to vibe out while you cool it down. Do you feel the power radiating through your body? Cuz we sure as hell do! Time for a snack and a high five with the closest person to you (even if its yourself). Great job everyone you crushed that HIIT!
