It’s that time of year again when, after two weeks of festive indulgence, thoughts turn to shifting those extra pounds. To help everyone kick-start their exercise regimes this January, PRS for Music has today released the most played songs by the UK’s fitness & gym instructors.

PRS for Music, the organisation that collects royalties for songwriters and composers, has analysed the latest data from the end of 2009* to work out which songs are being used most by the Nation’s fitness and gym instructors when people are exercising.

1 BEAT AGAIN, JLS

2 SWEET DREAMS, Beyoncé

3 HOLIDAY, Dizzee Rascal
