35 High-Energy Songs to Power Your Erg Workout

Updated at: 24/10/2024

The correct music can have a significant impact on how well an erg training goes. A playlist packed of upbeat music will help you maintain a steady pace and high level of enthusiasm when rowing, whether you're on the water or utilizing an indoor rowing machine. A carefully chosen playlist can help you stay focused and keep the beat while pushing you through the most challenging portions of your workout. Rowing is a repetitive motion that demands stamina and focus. Your performance can be improved by using music with a fast pace and stirring lyrics, which will increase the force and control of each stroke.

The purpose of this list of 35 upbeat songs is to give you the energy boost you need to maximize your erg session. Every song on this playlist, which ranges from energetic pop tunes to heart-pounding rock anthems, was picked because it can rival the intensity of a full-body rowing practice. This soundtrack will keep you inspired, alert, and prepared to approach your workout with newfound zeal, regardless of your goals—whether they are to increase your stamina or set a new personal record.
