Total Fitness Music Becomes A Favourite With iPod Joggers

As scores of gym goers tighten their belts and ditch their gym memberships, digital workout music mixes have shown a steady increase in popularity for a new generation of do-it-yourself fitness bods.

Total Fitness Music’s latest workout collaborations with the Ministry of Sound bring users a personal trainer without the cost.

Total Fitness Music – the UK’s leading provider of  custom-made fitness music albums – releases its latest digital workout mixes, Pump It Up Cardio Hits Workout and Maximum Bass Body Burn Workout, this February and March.  Like all of TFM’s workout mixes, these albums contain a tailored music workout which has been scientifically put together to enable users to reach their optimum workout intensity and heart rate, guided by the mix of chart hits and pumping club tracks from top dance label Ministry Of Sound.  Workout up a sweat to top tunes from Fedde Le Grande, Eric Prydz, Booty Luv and Basshunter over a 60 minute workout session with a 10 minute warm down.

Just like a personal trainer, the music mixes kick start your workout at a gentle tempo and power you through your fitness session with an uplifting soundtrack building in tempo and ending with a chilled cool down mix.

Total Fitness Music’s extensive catalogue features 30, 60 or 90 minute  workout mixes spanning dance, pop, rock and disco. The mixes are ideal for beating the boredom of running, cardio machines, walking, gym workouts plus much more.  Each album comes with a digital booklet containing training tips as well as advice on nutrition and hydration. Not only does this provide a cheap alternative to gym membership or real personal trainers but the specially chosen music has been proven to motivate individuals and propel them towards their goals.

Dr Costas Karageorghis of Brunel University is a leading researcher on the effects of music on athletic performance and assisted in the compilation of TFM’s running album Run To The Beat; “We have all felt the uplifting effects of music and know it can be very powerful when it comes to our motivation.  Not only do certain beats heighten energy levels but positive lyrical affirmations conjure inspirational images inducing feelings of transcendence as a workout reaches its climax.”

Total Fitness Music’s 3 Top Benefits Of Music and Exercise

Keeping Focused

Listening to a workout soundtrack while exercising allows you to focus on something other than the exercise regime. You enjoy the music, forget about fatigue and complete your workout.

Helps With Motivation

Listening to music that you enjoy makes the workout more fun and will help you stick to a regular exercise regime.

Aids Performance

Energising, fast music boosts the pace of your workout whereas slower, mellow music helps you relax and assists in returning your heart-rate to a resting state. So ditch your old and inconsistent shuffled compilation for some fresh tunes and a proper workout!

Pump It Up Cardio Hits Workout is now available from iTunes priced at £6.32

Maximum Bass Body Burn Workout is available from iTunes priced at £6.32
