🔄 Workout Playlist Tips

✅ Choose songs with 100–140+ BPM for cardio or intense routines.
✅ Use bass-heavy tracks to fuel strength workouts.
✅ Match the tempo to your movement (e.g., higher BPM for sprints, slower for core work).
✅ For longer sessions, build in waves—start strong, peak in the middle, taper for cool down.
✅ Consider music apps like Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube to organize your set.
