The decision on what music to listen to during workouts can be challenging due to the abundance of options available. Glen Ostergaard, Les Mills Program Director, suggests that for cardio exercises, music with a fast tempo and a variety of beats per minute is ideal to maintain motivation and energy levels. The music should feel like a journey with high BPM but also enough change.

The album delves into Taylor’s life, featuring references to rumored feuds and her publicized relationships, offering a captivating listening experience that can make you forget you’re exercising.
For those seeking a fitting track for a Parkrun this weekend, “The Fate Of Ophelia” from the album is recommended. Moreover, for yoga or Pilates sessions, calmer music is preferred to enhance the mind-body connection and create a holistic ambiance.
