Lower Intensity – Various Genres

Are you looking for a less vigorous workout? Try one of these lower intensity options that include a mix of slower and more moderately paced tunes. Currently these are available in ’80s & ’90s Dance & Rap, 1970s Dance / Disco, Rock Classics (’60s – ’80s) as well as Psychedelic ’60s . I may add more options in the future.

By using these playlists it is assumed you do not have any health issues that might prevent you from exercising. If you’re not sure please speak with a doctor. Stay hydrated and wear the proper footwear for your chosen activity. You may also wish to use a heart rate monitor.

Scroll down to your favourite music genre. Once you click “play” each new song will load automatically. These playlists run between 40 and 50 minutes but you can stop sooner if needed. Stopping after one of the slower songs will allow your heart rate to decrease more gradually.
