What do bell bottoms, mood rings, disco and Saturday Night Fever have in common? That’s right, they are all cultural icons of the 70′s.
When I think about the 70′s I always remember the immortal phrase spoken by one of the great thinkers of the time: “Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah”. Ahh, that brings back memories…
The 70s music definitely had its charm, and while Disco did die with that decade, it will always live on in our hearts and iPods and now, it can also be part of our running playlist.
Per request of one of my readers, AnaIsabel, I put together a list of some great songs from the 70′s that would be great for a running playlist.
The list below is 1:15 hours, and has an average BPM of 131, so it will allow you to run at a good tempo.
And now, here’s the list. Please retweet/like this post if you enjoyed it.
