If you’re a runner, strapping on your shoes to hit the pavement is no big deal. But if not, finding the motivation to sweat it out can be difficult, and that’s where finding a good workout mix can come in handy. Sure, you may already have your favorite 90’s pop stars lined up on your iPod, but if you’re looking for something new, we’ve got you covered.

Run Hundred, a workout music site, has just released two albums that are completely inspired by our favorite 80’s video games. Think: Atari, Sega and the first Nintendo. Called “8-Bit Workout Mix I & II,” the albums are completely inspired by the instrumentation we know and love from vintage video games.

Sometimes all it takes to push through to the end of your run is a little bit of lively music, and we think this workout mix will do the trick. Whether you’re a fan of Super Mario Bros or Zelda, we think you’ll love these creative and unique albums.



Check out 8-Bit Workout Mixes I & II here. You can preview and purchase directly from this link, and get running in no time. Profits earned from both albums will go to Run Hundred’s charity partners, who provide humanitarian aid in each of the 50 United States and 70 countries abroad. So you’re basically running for a cause!

 

A little about Run Hundred:

Run Hundred was launched in 2008, and its workout playlists feature monthly in The Huffington Post and Women’s Running. Visitors can browse its free workout music database—sorting songs by genre, tempo, and era—to find the ones that best fit with their particular workout routine.

Why 80’s Music Boosts Your Workout

One of the most compelling reasons to harness the power of 80’s music for your workouts is its infectious energy. The upbeat rhythms and melodic hooks characteristic of the decade's soundtracks create an uplifting atmosphere that can significantly enhance motivation levels. Whether you're running, lifting weights, or participating in group classes, the nostalgic tunes not only make your session more enjoyable but also help you push through challenging moments.

The 80’s music era is known for its catchy beats and vibrant sound, making it perfect for high-intensity workouts. Songs from artists like Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Prince have a unique ability to get your heart pumping and your feet moving. This feel-good factor is essential when trying to stay committed to your fitness journey, as a positive mood can lead to better performance and longer workout sessions.

How to Create Your Own 80’s Inspired Workout Mix

Creating an 80’s inspired workout mix is about more than just picking popular songs from the era; it's about curating a collection that energizes and motivates you. Start by selecting tracks with a strong beat, generally within the 120 to 140 beats-per-minute range, ideal for keeping your energy levels high during exercises. Consider including a mix of genres, such as rock, pop, and electronic, to keep things diverse and exciting throughout your workout.

Add in personal favorites or lesser-known gems that resonate with you. By using platforms like Spotify or Apple Music, you can easily find playlists that feature 80’s hits or even create your own. Remember that the key is to select songs that not only remind you of the past but also give you the drive to push harder and enjoy every moment of your workout session.
