Workout Music

Workouts:

AM: Strength Training
PM: Spin

Question for Spinners: What is the purpose of quick in/out of saddle moves? (Sorry, I don’t know the proper term of it). We did a ton of them in Spin class tonight, and it was hard and annoying. Seriously, what is the purpose of it? Inquiring minds need to know…

A friend of mine asked me where I find workout music. I have 3 main sources:

1. Group Exercise Classes

• I have been known to use Shazam in a Spin class to find out what song is playing.
• I also used to take a ton of Les Mills classes and would Google the current release to see what the names of songs were.
• Instructors have also lent me CD’s of their workout music to download.

2. iTunes

• I look to see what songs are on the Top Charts lists.
• Recommendations from my Genius lists
• I see what music people I follow on Ping have recently purchased.

3. Other People’s Blogs

• I love it when other people post their playlists! I have gotten so many great tunes from it! The most recent post I’ve read is Page’s Boston Marathon Playlist – great stuff! I will be downloading more than a few songs from it!

So here’s my current Burn list:

For regular workouts, I just use the same list and keep adding songs to it, but I’ll create a specific list for a race.

If you have any suggestions, send them over!

    Basically, just listen to a local pop radio station! I did my first spin class & very much enjoyed the upbeat music, though for the cool down she played a country music song, yuck!

    Music is KEY for me – I don’t know how people run without music. My playlist looks similar to yours but with a lot more David Guetta on it :)

    I LOVE the up and down in the seat thing in spin…I prefer Group Ride which is a Body Training Systems class over the freestyle spin classes that feel so much less organized (I’d rather have variety in each song, rather than all out of the seat or all down, ya know?). I think the up and down is good for the glutes! And wicked hahhhd! ;-)
