It’s been about a week and a half since the tragic passing of pop music icon Michael Jackson.
Yet in the wake of his recent passing, his music is now just as, if not more, popular than ever.
Yep, sometimes you just don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.
Over here at Workout Muse, immediately upon hearing of Michael’s untimely death, Topher and I got on the phone about doing a special Workout Muse MJ tribute soundtrack.
Now- it wasn’t easy to replicate the sound and music of the world’s greatest entertainer of all time.
Especially considering that what made Michael Jackson’s songs so good were… well… Michael Jackson and his unmatched artisty and style.
If you listened to the instrumentals of many of Michael’s songs, as a standalone the music really wasn’t all that hot to be honest about it.
But as soon as MJ started “sanging” it was game over, from the “he he’s” to the “jam ons” Michael made each song soar.
Topher has put together a really cool FREE 4-Minute 20-10 Tabatas download inspired by the music of Michael Jackson.
The focus of the soundtrack was to really go back to Michael’s Motown days where it all started, so the track features a lot of funk and has a really nice disco feel to it as well.
And though the track isn’t a head banger like most of the Workout Muse soundtracks, it’s incredibly well done and a great change of pace to your typical hard core workout music.
I have used it for both my own personal workouts and with my boot campers and it officially gets my full stamp of approval for a kick ass workout track!

Michael Jackson Interval Workout Music Tribute from Workout Muse- 20-10 Tabatas
Please share this blog post and this download with all of your friends and family- especially all the MJ fans you know out there.
In addition, please be sure to post a comment to this blog to let us know what you think and if you would be interested in us making some more MJ workout muse soundtracks in the future. They certainly won’t be free like this one, but we aim to please and we’ll make whatever soundtracks our beloved audience responds to best.
In addition, it isn’t practical nor cost effective to try to gain reproduction rights for Michael’s music. That’s why we’re built a track inspired by Michael Jackson as an alternative and a special gift to you… ENJOY!
Crank it!

BJ,
You thanks for sharing. I really appreciate it. But I do have to disagree with you. If you look back even when he was with the Jackson 5, on that song dancing machine….right before he starts “cuttin up” and doing all his moves. Just listen to those horns baby! That right there drives the whole song to me. I can literally here those horns play for an entire song and get pumped.
Here’s a vid of what I’m talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD2OsUcgb00 Prime example is about 1min 4secs. Check it out It’s really “happenin”
Thanks, BJ!
My Boot Camp AND my spin classes all love your tracks!
I’ll be using this MJ one tomorrow during our “Interval Spin”. 45 minutes of hardcore intervals (appropriate rest interals, of course
BJ!
As usual, gr8 idea! Thanks so much! Can’t wait to use it tomorrow with my bootcamp class!
WORK IT OUT!
