WHAT'S ON MY iPOD this week???
Music can either make or break a workout. While keeping a class motivated is a task in and of itself, having a wicked playlist can make that task more fun for everyone. I like to play music that fuels my fire so I can organically get everyone fired up. Here's what's on my most recent playlist from last Friday's SPIN class at Sports Club LA:
1. Finally by Kings of Tomorrow --> I like the beat of this song. It starts off mellow and then builds up to a fun pace. It was perfect for getting everyone in the mood to burn calories while we all got set up on our bikes.
2. Electric Feel by MGMT --> Hands down my favorite song right now! It makes me want to dance on the bike. It was the best warm up song. We did a slight hill with a moderate pace.
3. Crack a Bottle by Eminem, Dr. Dre, & 50 Cent--> We were already warmed up by now so we did intervals on a hill to this track. Everytime Eminem "sang" the chorus, we sprinted up the hill. It was INTENSE!!!
4. When I Grow Up by The Pussycat Dolls --> This was sweet for doing jumps and sprints! I love how powerful and sexy this song is at the same time!
5. Apocalypse by Arno Cost --> This is typical Euro club techno and we did a long sprint on a flat road while doing pushups on the handles. There is a CRAZY build up and it's ridiculous how your endorphins explode once the beat launches 2 minutes in!!!
6. Don't Stop Believin' by Journey --> It lightened the mood and made the class even more fun than it already was. We were all laughing. 
7. Girls On The Dancefloor by The Far East Movement --> I love this track! It's new and nobody had heard it yet! It was perfect for a fast hill with jumps.
8. Delirious by David Guetta --> Another Euro club techno beat. It's quite possibly one of the best songs for Spinning... EVER! If you haven't heard it yet, you must! There's a siren in the background and it makes you want to Spin faster than you ever have in your entire life!
9. Thriller (Midnight Hour Mix) by Richard Grey --> As if Michael Jackson's Thriller could get any better?! Well, it can and it did! This mix is soooo good! This song was MADE for DANCING on a bike! 
10. Love Generation by Bob Sinclair--> Bob Sinclair is an incredible DJ and a French GOD! He DJ'd an event I went to last year and I fell in love with this song! It's very upbeat and positive.
11. Dirty Harry by Gorillaz --> I wish I knew what these guys looked like! They refuse to be photographed! I think they wear gorilla masks all the time! Anyway, it was an amazing song for a rolling hills exercise (up and down resistance).
12. Elevator (feat. Timbaland) by Flo Rida --> We did launching sprints (don't ask, you gotta come to my class to find out what they are!  ) and added resistance as the song progressed. This was almost our last stretch but then I decided the next song would be! 
13. Lux Aeterna by unknown artist --> One of my friends put this song on a mix CD for me and it is so empowering! I just HAD to play it in my Spin class! It's played on quite a few movie soundtracks - very dramatic! I played the 6 minute version but you can download a shorter version by Clint Mansell. Everyone's legs were burning during the last stretch. It was so incredible!
14. I Hate This Part by The Pussycat Dolls --> This was our cool down song. It still has a quick enough beat to keep everyone's legs moving but it sets the tone for a cool down mood.
15. Sun Is Shining by Reunited --> This is a pure, feel good track. It was mellow enough for our deep stretching at the end.
