If you wanted to make a workout music time capsule—to show future generations what gym goers listened to in 2012—the highlights from August alone would nearly do the trick.

In this month’s top 10, exercise favorites LMFAO, Flo Rida, and Pink all make appearances. Pitbull turns up twice—once in a remix and once with Shakira. And the year’s two biggest hits (“Call Me Maybe” and “Somebody That I Used to Know”) are both reinvented as club tracks.

Here's the full list, according to votes placed at RunHundred.com, the web's most popular workout music website.
