What is March Music Madness?

Whether you're grooving to the beat of the Top 40, sweating it out to hip-hop, or rocking to the sounds of, well, rock, everyone has their own personalized playlist designed to power them through their daily fitness routine. But while no two playlists, or workouts for that matter, are created equal, one thing is clear - music and working out go together like barbells and weight plates.

Given the sheer volume of new music that comes out each year, it can be tricky to keep your finger on the pulse of today's hottest tracks to make sure your playlist is as amplified as your workout. Here's where Gold's Gym and Men's Health come into “play.”

To help find the songs that soared to the top of the nation's workout playlist this past year, Gold's Gym and Men's Health have teamed up for March Music Madness - a fun, interactive competition giving our members, fans and celebrity friends the opportunity to nominate the 16 songs that have infused the most energy into their workouts over the past year. (Valid song entries must have been released or on the charts between January 1, 2011 and March 6, 2012.)

Once nominated, fans will have the opportunity to vote on each song in a bracket-style competition that will crown one track the best workout song of the past year.  If your song wins, we'll put our money where our mouth is and make a $5,000 donation to the charity of your choice!  Now isn't that music to your ears?

So don't just sit there – vote for your favorite song over the past year today. 

*Fans whose songs are chosen for the competition will receive an email confirmation.
