THE CORE (LP) STYLE GUIDE
DURING THE MOVE
MUSICALITY
BEFORE CLASS PLAYLIST:
15 minutes of easy listening - not slow and soft but also not a closing song energy
DURING CLASS:
Prepare 50 to 52 minutes of music.
Class should begin with the start of a new song. This isn’t your all out song but we want to set the tone with a high energy song
Clearly curated
Mix of gendered voices (not all male or all female)
Has a clear driving beat throughout
Final song should have explosive energy
When getting to final 3-2-1 of class there should instantly be a change to a Cool Down song
Examples of Strong C(LP) Playlists
VOLUME: Supports movement and energy without overpowering verbal cues.
approx 75-80 dB high-intensity
MUSICALITY & TEMPO:
Songs match workout intensity
Know your songs and know your beat drops to time them with movement:
Static movement to cardio
Transitions
Think 3 minutes of a move for a 3:30-4 minute song
Think if core is 4-6 minutes you’ll need about 7-8 minutes of music
Core and obliques should have the most high energy and musically supportive songs
INSTRUCTOR ENERGY
Mirrors and amplifies the music. You set the tone and feel of the class. If your energy is low, your clients energy will be too and they will eventually disengage.
Adjust vocal inflection, projection, and enthusiasm by knowing your songs
