Gym Mix

This is a mix I made to listen to while visiting the gym. Now you too can enjoy my musical gateway to weight-loss, fitness and the toned abs, thighs and buns of your wildest dreams.

The mix begins with an Ivor Cutler song, during which you should do your stretches, paying special attention to those areas that will be under stress during your exercises. Now would also be a good time to take on fluids to avoid overheating. As the dOP remix of Teddy’s Back fades ease gently into your fitness regime. By the time the singer sings his falsetto ‘lost in the Berghaim’ you should be at 100% effort. I have sequenced and mixed the music to progressively get more boshing to motivate the gym-goer as fatigue sets in. When you hear Ivor Cutler singing a second song it is time to stop exercising and get a drink of water, as the main part of the session is over. If there is a sauna in your gym, you would be wise to use it while you listen to Jon Hopkins’ remix of James Yorkston to clean the pores and settle the mind. When the mix is over you may go home.

Friendly Fires exempts itself from any liability for injury or death while listening to the mix. Not for those who are pregnant or suffer heart disorders. Users experiencing chest pains should stop exercise IMMEDIATELY and consult a physician.

Yours in wellness
