About this routine

Before launching her Eras Tour, Taylor Swift spent six months preparing her physical stamina for three hours of nonstop performing. Her core daily exercise was a Taylor Swift treadmill workout where she ran on a treadmill while singing her entire setlist aloud. Fast songs required a sprint or fast run, while slower songs shifted her pace to a jog or power walk.

Singing while running builds cardiovascular endurance and teaches breath control under physical exertion. By matching treadmill speed directly to song tempo, the workout acts as both vocal conditioning and high intensity interval training. Performing this routine requires maintaining a steady rhythm and singing continuously without stopping the belt.

This 45-minute template distills that approach into a practical indoor cardio session. You can adapt the exact setlist to your own preferred songs, matching your running speed to the tempo of each track while singing aloud.

Why this routine works

  • Builds cardiovascular stamina while controlling vocal breath under physical strain
  • Combines high intensity interval running with steady recovery paces
  • Simulates the physical demands of long stage performances
