It’s that time of year! Haunted houses, pumpkin patches, and corn mazes are in full swing. Your Netflix queue is filled with horror movies, and your cupboards are stocked with a mass of candy in expectation of little trick-or-treaters. But what about your workout? Get completely immersed in the Halloween spirit by adding spooky serenades to your daily sweat session!
On our brand new iFit Spotify station, we’ve curated the best haunting tunes to motivate you to keep going strong. We’ve even divided them up by mood and beats per minute (BPM) to make five categories, depending on your personal workout type preference. So change into your favorite black-and-orange workout clothes, put your headphones on, and feel the terrifying beat!
Cardio
Get your vampire blood pumping with this compilation of songs at 120–140 BPM. On this iFit Halloween Cardio playlist, we’ve included everything from Kesha to The Black Keys to Blue Oyster Cult to mix it up for a creepy cardio session! Try running in these 5 Ghost Towns in a Google Maps™ workout to switch things up!
HIIT
High-Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT, is a popular cardio workout, loved by our expert iFit trainers. For those of you who are unfamiliar, you alternate intense anaerobic exercise with less intense recovery periods. HIIT workouts have been proven to improve athletic capacity, as well as increasing glucose metabolism.
An easy way to follow a HIIT workout is to alternate the BPM of the songs you listen to. We’ve curated the iFit Halloween HIIT playlist to include songs that alternate between 115–120 BPM for your recovery periods, and 150–170 BPM for your intense anaerobic periods. Just follow the beat of the playlist, and you should get a great HIIT workout! Be sure to slow it down or speed it up, depending on your fitness level. And remember…you don’t have to complete the entire playlist. Just do what feels good to your body!
Strength Training
The iFit Halloween Strength Training collection is more about the mood, rather than the BPM, but it should be hair-raising enough to keep you pumping the iron!
Dance
It’s a right of passage for all true dancers to learn Thriller! And no Halloween mix would be complete without the epic David Bowie. Plus, we have a few remixes with a zumba beat on this iFit Halloween Dance mix!
Yoga
Yogis will attest to the benefits of relaxing nature sounds and gentle music while you’re stretching and bending. Try switching things up a bit with this eerie mood music. At about 60–100 BPMs, the songs on iFit Halloween Yoga playlist are mostly chill, but we included a few with a stronger beat for power flow sessions!
