Tunes to shape up to this summer!
Need to get in shape for your summer hols but lacking the motivation? Then it's time to tune in to Zest Workout Mix Vol. 2 - Summer Bikini Body (£5.99, iTunes).
Research shows that working out to the right music can increase endurance by 15%, keeping you focused and pushing you to boost the intensity of your session. So we've teamed up with experts at Total Fitness Music to compile the ultimate fat-burning soundtrack, which combines a carefully balanced range of beats per minute (bpm) with motivational lyrics.
'Short periods of increased exertion, pace and intensity in your workout followed by a short recovery period when your train at a slower pace helps burn fat and tone your body,' says Dave Lambert from Total Fitness Music, which creates playlists for elite athletes. 'So the Zest Workout Mix Vol. 2 - Summer Bikini Body incorporates two "fat burn boost" sections in the mix to help you turn up the tempo as you train.'
Whether you're in the gym or on your favourite running route, our 60-minute Zest Workout Mix Vol. 2 - Summer Bikini Body will help you get beach-ready in weeks! So download it today for just £5.99!
