Science shows the playlist you choose while working out has an impact on your performance. Music tempo is measured in beats per minute (BPM) and can influence your stamina and satisfaction of the workout. Here is what you need to know to make your workout more exciting and rewarding:
- Slow Tempo (<90 BPM)
This is ideal for recovery and helps with:
- Decreasing heart rate & cortisol (stress hormone) levels post-workout
- Improving stretching & flexibility
- Calming the nervous system
- Moderate Tempo (100–120 BPM)
This is ideal for consistency and endurance and helps with:
- Running in sync to the beat
- Making yoga movements flow smoother
- Better control of lifting weights by syncing to the beat
- Fast Tempo (130+ BPM) = High Intensity
This is ideal for high intensity activities and adrenaline and helps with:
- Performing during high intensity repetitions or sprint intervals
- Lifting heavier weights
- Increase speed during cycling or running
Tip: Sync the BPM of your playlist with your goal during sessions – use the right playlist to achieve better performance.

Bonus: Make sure you are using the proper Wizard Athleisure outfit for your workout, as an example, for a run routine, Wizrard Vent Speed 2 in 1 shorts coupled with Vent Wizadry Tank would greatly assist you as it wicks sweat and dries faster or if you are into yoga and wellness, you can select from a variety of Wizard outfits such as Women Strappy Backless Jumpsuit or Women Crafted Jumpsuit with Zipper. There is a wide range of options to choose from for your next beat-synced workout session—its fast-drying and light weight material keeps you cool when turning up the BPM.
