Summer : Time to Bring the Heat!

hi everyone – we had a really warm, humid cycle class this morning.  glad i spared everyone a double tabata day, but don’t think everyone will be so lucky next week.  here is a new playlist, and the link to spotify is here: cycle tunes 6.17.13  enjoy!

  • needtobreathe – white fences (3:46) : warm up / stretch.
  • gnarls barkley – run [i’m a natural disaster] (2:45) : quick set of surges to get everyone started.
  • eurythmics – sweet dreams (remix) 5:31: first of two tabata rounds.  20 hard core, heavier resistance than your surges.  10 sec recovery.  repeat 7 times (total of 8 rounds for the non-mathematicians).
  • kerli – the lucky ones (3:56) : recovery, followed by quick seated flat.
  • manfred mann’s earth band – blinded by the light (3:49) : heavy seated climb.
  • fergie, q-tip, etc. – a little party never killed nobody (4:01) : heavy, pushing uphill in quick surges.  may need some out of the saddle work at this point.  p.s. – song title reflects their grammar, not mine.
  • till the world ends (remix) : britney spears (5:20) : second tabata round.
  • walk the moon – anna sun (5:22) : i’ve said this before – one of my favorite spin songs!  quick flat road.
  • v v brown – l.o.v.e. (2:58) : heavier load, moving uphill.  fun song!
  • bruce springsteen – radio nowhere (3:21) : quick surges.
  • genesis – that’s all (4:26) : cool down / stretch
