Get ready to Synthercise!

Synthercise is an 8-bit dance fitness programme developed for Electromagnetic Field.

It's a 40-45 minute chiptune dance fitness workout approachable for beginners, with options for experienced exercisers - you don't have to think of yourself as fit, or a dancer, to enjoy Synthercise!

Dance Tracks - Unit 1

This set has a focus heavy on high-energy 90s numbers. The choice is driven by work I could find that's not DRM-encumbered. MP3s of most of the retro tracks were provided by the lovely Raxlen Slice, the rest are plundered from the music archives of demozoo

Unplugged

Set of pilates / gi gong / yoga / iaido warmup exercises designed to counteract the posture effects of doing too much of other specific things. One day these might gain a timing soundtrack

Unplugged: Tech Neck antidote to spending too much of one's life hyperfocused over a small screen or a keyboard. No soundtrack at present, and a work in progress

Unplugged: Hip It antidote to spending too much of one's life doing repetitive weight-lifting exercises and/or playing videogames, resulting in a lack of hip motion
