The links take you to their songs on JogTunes.com with the BPM data and links to iTunes and Amazon/MP3.

JogTunes Posts Running Music by Jack Johnson, Queensrÿche, Grammy Nominees, and More

This week, our veteran contributor, Peter Andersson, has come through with many new great tunes for running and other music-paced, BPM exercise. From his list I posted tracks by Samael, Prince, Queensrÿche, Metric, and The Libertines. Please check out these tunes on the new song listing on the home page of jogtunes.com. The BPMs range from 144 to 161. And go to Peter's fine website for more running tunes and great commentary about them.

On the iTunes Music Store, I learned about Jack Johnson's new album, Sleep Through the Static. The most runnable tunes from this album are Hope, If I Had Eyes, and the title tune, Sleep Through the Static. The BPMs are 173, 185 , and 140 respectively.

Before He Cheats, a country tune by Carrie Underwood, was nominated for a Grammy. It runs at a leisurely 148 and can also be found on our new tune list. Amy Winehouse's Rehab was also nominated and has been on my list for awhile. You can search for it under artist search at jogtunes.com.

I also posted Like a Star, which walks at 123 BPM. It's Corinee Bailey Rae's nominated tune for a Grammy.

Ok Go has an album that caters to exercisers. It's Master the Treadmill with Ok Go and can be found by clicking on Get Over It on our new tunes list. It runs at 186. I also posted another tune by Ok Go. It's Here It Goes Again from their album, Ok No. It's a leisurely workout at 146 BPM.

And from the UK come two bands with songs on our runnables list. I added The Game to our Faithless tunes. The Klaxons are new to JogTunes. I posted Totem on the Timeline and Golden Skans, running at 169 and 143.

Cyclists can learn more about safe biking to the beat on my website, BikeToTheBeat.com and all exercisers may find it fun and motivating to work out to my podcast episodes. There are 17 of them. You can find them on the podcast's iTunes page and at jogtunesindie.com.

I recently tried working out on a mini-trampoline and must admit that it's a great way to exercise indoors to music. You have to lift your legs fairly high to get your heart rate going but it certainly minimizes the impact on your knees.

Best of music-paced working out to everyone.

The JogTunes Group posts a new podcast episode and new running music

This is the week for the alternative genre at JogTunes. My latest episode (#17) accentuates the alternative with more that the usual tunes of that ilk. Check it out in iTunes or on my podcast site's home page.

After the holidays, downloads of the podcast accelerated to a whopping 4600 per month. I guess everyone's resolved to stay in shape this year.

Alternative's the word on JogTunes.com. I listed tunes by Silverstein and Ween with BPMs from 150 to 160 for some easy-going fun runs and other workouts. Other new bands on the list are Slipknot, The Gap Band, and Bullet for My Valentine. I also added 2 more tunes by Angels and Airwaves from their latest album, I-Empire.

Thanks go to jparkerc and mcdunn34 from the Runner's World Discussion Group, Best Running Playlist EVER, for their suggestions of the Silverstein and The Gap Band tunes respectively.

Peter's pick is The Illusionist by Scar Symmetry. This is one hard driving metal tune that's sure to motivate the laziest runner. Please check out Peter's great comment on this tune on his website. When you go there, scroll down to tune #44.

Don't forget, all of the music, podcasts, and playlists can be used for indoor cycling, aquarunning, stairmaster, elliptical, and even minitrampoline. If you have waterproof audio gear (e.g. http://h2oaudio.com/products.php), try the tunes for swimming.

I'm working on an upgrade of the JogTunes Group's set of websites. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Please send them to comment at jogtunes.com.

And, by the way, I put a Donate button on the podcast site, jogtunesindie.com. Please consider supporting my efforts to promote working out to the exact beat of great music and indie artists. You don't need a PayPal account to use their service. If you're interested, I do get affiliate marketing commissions for tunes that are purchased via links from my websites. That's the good news. The bad news is that Apple only pays 5 cents per tune. Granted, the small income from commissions helps a little, but considering the time I spend, it's minimal.

Meanwhile, best of ruuning.

Peter's Pick for this week is "Time Bomb" by Rancid. This is a debut on jogtunes.com for Rancid. The tune runs at 165. All of Peter's suggestions have been "run-tested" by Peter for runnability. You can find his impressive list of BPM rated tunes on his website.

I went back to Carissa's, Susan's, and Jeff's lists for more goodies.

From Carissa: Keb'Mo's "Tell Everybody I Know", a blues tune at a brisk 167

From Susan: Two tunes by folk singer Boozoo Chavis: "I'm Still Blinkin" (180) and "Tell Me What You Want" (181)

JogTunes Group Formed and Posts New Running Music and Podcast Episode

I'm happy to announce the formation of the The JogTunes Group, a DBA licensed by the State of Utah and operating under B & G Business Services LLC. The JTG is dedicated to providing resources for working out exactly to the tempos (BPMs) of great signed and indie artists' music. The flagship website is JogTunes.com which lists runnable songs and playlists by signed artists. Associated websites are JogTunesIndie.com, our primary site for our podcast, The JogTunesIndie Podcast, and our most recent JTG addition, BikeToTheBeat.com. The latter is designed for stationary cyclists who enjoy working out to music and pedaling to the beat.

I'm endeavoring to combine these sites into one site to allow more interaction and accessibility. I welcome your comments at comments@jogtunes.com.

I just added more tunes to our Tunes List. Jeff sent in a fine list of runnable songs, all BPM rated. From his list I picked Aerosmith's Pink and Some Unholy War by Amy Winehouse, both in the 170s BPM. Here's his personal website.

Susan's extensive BPM rated list provided me with 2 songs by Blues Traveler and 2 by John Mellencamp with BPMs ranging in the 150s to 180s. Susan's an active aquarunner. Here's her website.

I found KT Tunstall's new album Drastic Fantastic on the iTunes Music Store's new music list. You'll find 3 songs by her on our list. The BPMs are 122, 142, and 155.

Peter, our veteran contributor, pointed me to The Donnas' new album, Bitchin'. You can practically BPM-pace walk and run to the entire album. I selected 5 runnable songs ranging in BPMs from 143 to 170.

Another Peter's Pick on the list is *NSYNC's Bye, Bye, Bye. It runs at 173.

Thanks Jeff, Susan, and Peter, for your generous contributions.

I also just added the single, Radio Nowhere, from Bruce Springsteen's new album, Magic, coming out soon. The BPM is a leisurely 140.

I encourage you to go to Peter's great website for his fine list of running songs with BPM ratings and commentary.

My 13th episode of the JogTunesIndie Podcast is up for running. Please check it out at jogtunesindie.com.

Most of the songs are by artists who have been featured on the Association of Music Podcasting members' shows. Please see the above website for details.

It's my first 1 hour episode. It's divided into a 45 minute segment followed by a 15 minute segment.

It's also the first time that I invite stationary cyclists to try pedaling to the podcast songs. The more recent shows have walking tunes in addition to the running segments. This wider range of BPMs lends itself well to cycling. Please see more about cycling to the beat on BikeToTheBeat.com. Please note that I strongly discourage biking to music on the road. The risks are just too great. So please keep it "stationary."

I hope you enjoy the new additions, expanded podcast, and biking perspective. Meanwhile, happy music-paced running (and biking).

Dr. Bob

Thanks, Happy Stuff, for the Prop about Running Music

Carissa, who blogs at Happy Stuff, just posted a great description of her discovery of music-paced running. She also gave jogtunes.com a wonderful prop for which I'm most grateful. Her endorsement of several songs prompted me to list them on jogtunes.com You can find them in the new song section on our home page (see songs by Evanescence, Billy Joel, John Mayer, and Feist). Thanks, Carissa, and welcome to the music-paced running community.

At jogtunes.com we posted new songs from a great article about running to music. It was published on line in Runner's World. Here's the article link. Almost all of the songs on the first page of the article are runnable. I haven't yet checked the BPMs of the songs on page 2. Thanks, Runner's World, for this great playlist. You can find our list of the songs on our home page. They're songs 2 through 11 in the preview list in the middle column.

Peter's Pick for this week is Animals by Nickelback. You'll really enjoy Peter's review of this song. Please go to Peter's great website for the review (song #11) and his fine list of running songs with BPM ratings.

JogTunes presents BikeToTheBeat.com and welcomes aquarunners

We just launched the beta version of BikeToTheBeat.com. Here's what Dr. Bob, our founder, has to say about our new site:

"Like running to the beat of my songs, I found that pedaling to the beat is also fun and motivating. I'm a big jazz fan so I started with some jazz tunes and then decided to use our entire signed artist, running music database as a resource for biking songs.

"I'm totally aware of the risk of wearing a headset and playing music while riding a bike in heavy traffic and even on country roads. That's why the new site addresses stationary cycling, kinetic training, and biking on rollers.

"The prepared playlists that we posted and will add in the future are sequenced for warm-up, full speed, and cool-down segments. The difference between the playlists for running and biking is the BPM range that are used for warming up and cooling down. I'm encouraging the playing of songs in the 90 to 100 BPM range to start and end the workout. This forces cyclists to set the gears (or resistance) higher and encourages more muscle toning. I expect visitors to the site will make there own varied playlists depending on their workout preferences. The possibilities are obviously limitless.

"Spinners will be looking for songs in with tempos equal to 180 to 200 pedal strokes (90 to 100 revolutions) per minute (equal to 180-200 BPMs). We have some songs on the site in the 180 to 190 range and will be adding up to 210 in the future."

We also would like to welcome aquarunners to jogtunes.com. We understand that they enjoy songs in the upper range of BPMs as well. So the addition of tunes in the 190-200 BPM range will address their needs as well.

New Running Music and a Podcast Episode From JogTunes

At jogtunes.com we continue to consult the Runner's World Discussion thread, Best Running List EVER, for great running music. Here's the link for the latest entries. As usual, consistent with our mission to find music with BPMs in the walking, jogging and running range, we posted songs by artists recently listed by the forum's members. Shera2316 sent the thread a great list. Here's a breakdown of what we found on her list and some songs we added:

Timbaland - The Way I Are (BPM 115 - a nice walking pace) and we added Oh Timbaland at 146 for an easy run)
Rise Against - Prayer (151 - a nice run)
Paula DeAnda - Easy (122 - a quick walk - good for warming up) and we added Walk Away (157)
My Chemical Romance - Famous Last Words (at 122) and we had already posted I'm Not Okay (I Promise) (at 181 - a flat out run)
Fall Out Boy - Thnks Fr Th Mmrs (153)
Papa Roach - Forever (108 - an easy walk - good for cooling down) and we added Scars for a flat out run at 181)
+44 - When Your Heart Stops Beating was on her list and ours (at 171 - a perfect run tempo)

Three Days Grace - Animal I Have Become (125) and we added Pain (160)
30 Seconds to Mars - Attack (another great run at 174)
DJ 4Motion - We Are Back (a good light jog at 145)

Rabbit76 mentioned how much he likes Flyleaf and rik_117 agreed and specifically mentioned Cassie by Flyleaf. Coincidentally we just posted Cassie (169) and All Around Me (148).

Also, by chance, my son suggested songs by The Strokes and we posted Reptilia (159). Then we found it on rik_117's list.

New Running Music by Nirvana, Hedda Layne, Eminem, ZZ Top and More

Members of the Nike Forum thread called "What is your favorite POWER song?" consistently post great power songs. For runners who enjoy running to the exact tempos of their music we posted 2 runnable tunes from this thread that fit the running range of 140 to 190 BPM. Thanks, bribel, for Nirvana's Breed. It runs at 162 BPM. Thanks also to ready to rock for We're Not Gonna To Take It by Twisted Sister. It runs at 150. Our opinion is power-type songs don't have to be fast, just motivating. Apparently, these thread members agree.

Runner's World Discussion members also continue to post their favorite running songs and playlists. Here's the link for the latest entries. We posted 3 tunes that are in the BPM range for great running. One member, slammin, suggested the Nevermind album by Nirvana as a great source of running music. In addition to Breed (see above) we posted Stay Away from the same album. The BPM is 167. Member jwwade likes Lose Yourself from Eminem's 8 Mile soundtrack. It runs at an ideal 171. For flat out running at 182 BPM, run1119 offered Tusk by Fleetwood Mac. You've got to check that one out. A big thanks to the Runner's World members for their suggestions.

For fast walkers and runners who like warm-ups we added more tunes in the 120s BPM range. Hedda Layne and Troy Lee Warden are a husband and wife duo and label artists now living in Dallas. We present two of their latest, very impressive works that both walk at a vigorous 128 steps-per-minute.

Peter's Picks for this week are classics. How could you not enjoy running at 151 to Soul Doctor by Foreigner and at 158 to ZZ Top's Got Me Under Pressure. Please go to Peter's great website for more great BPM (and steps-per-minute) ratings and reviews of runnable tunes. Our thanks again go to Peter for his invaluable contributions.

The artists include McFly, Garbage, Relient K, Saliva, Static-X, and My Chemical Romance. We look forward to returning to Derek's site for more runnable tunes in the near future.
