Get The Adrenaline Pumping

hi everyone!  hope you are enjoying an extended MLK weekend.  this playlist may be one of my favorites… a lot of endurance work (which relies on the class really pushing themselves on the long stretches of uncomfortable resistance), but a few climbs to break up the ride.  here is the spotify link, enjoy!  cycle tunes 1.17.13

• the script, will.i.am – hall of fame (3:23) : really great warm up song.
• calvin harris, florence welch – sweet nothing (3:33) : quick seated surges on the chorus.
• liquid soul – adrenaline (7:51) : here comes the endurance work.  almost 8 minutes in the saddle.  uncomfortable resistance, but not a direct uphill climb.  can mix it up with one minute out of the saddle, one minute 5 rpm surge, etc.
• icona pop – i love it (2:36) : ok, i really like the pop beat of this song, but there are a few unfavorable words that i had to manually edit.  but it’s so fun!  time for lifts in and out of the saddle.
• chris brown – don’t wake me up (3:43) : surges/sprints.
• golden earring – radar love (3:44) : ok, this song was recorded before my dad was out of high school (love that it’s sandwiched between chris brown and jessie j).  but it’s really great for climbing.
• jessie j – domino (3:52) : surges and/or lifts.
• morgan page – body work (4:00) : another solid endurance push.  can also move into a slight uphill climb toward the end.
• u2 – where the streets have no name (4:47) : feel free to continue with some endurance work (i skipped ahead for the first 1 min or so of song to keep momentum) or move into climbing.
• ke$ha – die young (3:32) : can’t believe i used ke$ha, but i did.  sprints to finish the ride.
• the head and the heart – lost in my mind (4:19) : stretch / cool down.
