    Music can have a massive impact on motivation and energy levels during exercise, so here are 10 workout songs for 2015 that will really help you go the distance.

    An uplifting and fast-paced song can do wonders when your motivation starts to drag during exercise. Research has shown that workout songs with a beat per minute count of between 120 and 140 are ideal for repetitive, aerobic exercises, such as running. Those who want to push themselves should aim for songs with a bpm count over 150.

    With that in mind, we've created a list of new workout songs for 2015 that will keep you feeling pumped up and raring to go every time you don your trainers…

    Sugar by Maroon 5 - 120 bpm
