Spinning Playlist- March 2015

03/27/15 | Favorites, Playlists

Thank you all so much for your support on yesterday’s post. Just another reason why blogging is awesome :)

To lighten the mood today after some “deep” posts this week, I have a new spinning playlist for you. I’ve decided that I’m going to share my playlists just once a month now. I typically make new playlists only once a month anyway and just reuse old ones for my weekly class. If only money grew on trees!

I used this playlist on Wednesday and everyone agreed that the class went by faster than normal. I broke it up into four segments of two songs on a hill + one song on a flat road. The exact moves/positions varied but that was the general theme.

Suggested Ride

Note: I program all classes to the beat of the music. When the beat picks up, that’s when your pace picks up. Also, I listed the resistance I cued for each track. 7/10 = 7 on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the heaviest hill. Of course, this is just a suggested ride. The music is great for any upbeat workout. 

1. Warm-Up

Segment 1
2. Moderate hill seated (7/10); pick-ups in 3 on the chorus
3. Heavy hill in 3 (9/10); pick up pace on chorus
4. Jumps (5-6/10)

Segment 2
5. Moderate hill seated and in 3 (7-8/10) with jumps mixed in
6. Heavy hill in 3 (8-9/10)
7. Jumps on the verses, sprints on the chorus (5-6/10)

Segment 3
8. Moderate hill in 2 and 3 (7-8/10)
9. Heavy hill in 2 and 3 (9/10)
10. Sprints on the chorus (5-6/10)

Segment 4
11. Jumps on a moderate hill (7-8/10)
12. Heavy hill in 3 (9/10)
13. Sprints on the chorus (5-6/10)

14. Cool down

    There was actually GOOD music on in the gym today! Some old favorites (Breaking Benjamin) and not crappy “popular” stuff. I was shocked!

      What a nice surprise! I’m always shocked when I like the music on the radio at the gym.

        This would be SO helpful! I use Spotify when I am instructing all of my rides, I would certainly use your mixes. Please!
