Personalise your workout playlist by answering a tailored quiz

During lockdown, people have adopted creative ways to stay active – from new workout environments to creative at-home workouts, designed by consumers themselves, to taking advantage of the outdoors.

And with the variety of workouts and outdoor activities available, people are looking for ways to replace their previous mainstay workout playlists to stay motivated.

Streaming service Spotify has created Soundtrack Your Workout, an interactive destination that will generate new, fresh personalised playlists each time you take the tailored quiz.

By answering a few simple questions (type of exercises, workout length, who they’re working out with, intensity level and workout mood), users will receive a personalised playlist timed to almost any workout.

If you’re craving both music and podcasts, users can even select a mix-media playlist.

To see Soundtrack Your Workout in action, Spotify has partnered with celebrity trainer Corey Calliet.

“Music keeps me moving, and it keeps my tempo high where I need it to be,” said Calliet.

“When making a playlist, I want to make sure that the exercise is going with the beat of the song. Never thought I would be able to get a customised playlist that fits my workout and my vibe in less time than it takes to grab my water and get out the door.”

You can find Calliet’s personalised playlist on Spotify.

The streaming platform also looked at how global users are listening to workout music and podcasts and found that in the last month, 53% of those streaming are aged 18 to 29.

The favourite workout song is

Pump: Raw Fitness Truth was the top workout podcast globally.

“...now more than ever, users are finding creative ways to stay active and healthy in this current climate,” said Spotify’s Trends Expert Shanon Cook. –
