All right Ladies & Gentlemen, I need your suggestions. I am looking for music to put a few routines together for indoor cycling/SPIN class. I now have a 3rd class to teach and it may even jump to 4. So, I need to really put some stuff together. Even if you don't attend an indoor cycle/SPIN class I am sure you run, and if you run you might run with an iPod or be connected to some music source.
What really gets you pumped ready to thrash out some fast miles?
What keeps you focused with the hills?
Gentlemen I really need you opinions too. I will also be teaching at a gym where there is lots of guys in the class and I have no idea what you guys like. To tell the truth I am still stunned you can run with your "stuff" anyhow?!
Ladies give it to me. What gets ya going? Even gangsta Marcy, & Rockband Rocker Jess give me the edit version of whatcha like ;-) Then think about what the "older" you would like to jam to. If you are older that is a plus, but I'm not calling you old. I have a couple of ladies my Mom's age or older and they are some hardcore chicks. I put that "Love Man" by Otis Redding from Dirty Dancing and they were pedaling so fast I thought they were going to break the cranks.
Thanks a bunch in advance! It also gives me a chance to get inside your mind when you workout. Ummm.. ok that sounded stalkirish. If you have never commented on my blog before this is me asking you to come outta the lurking mode, please.
Wednesday's Workout:

The only tracks I can think of that are void of gender-specific persuasions are Prodigy and Crystal Method. If you need some tracks, e-mail me and let me know how you want me to send the mp3's.
Ooh, ooh! I can help. I'm off to dust off my old Lawrence Welk vinyls :-)
Ooh, I have been fortunate enough to go to a spin class with an awesome insructor and great music! I will share a couple with you!
#1) Sandstorm by Darude.
--->It's techno. The first 30 seconds is at a good pace (probably a cadence of 90-100), and then there is a full fledge "sprint" for 1 minute, and then back to a good pace for about a minute, and then finishes off with another "sprint" all out everything you've got for a little over a minute! We love it!
#2) Crush Crush Crush by Paramore.
--->It's a song that we cycle seated the whole time, going with the beat of the song, and then at the chorus line we double time it.
#3) Right Back - Maxine Nightingale
---> An older song, but this is a good one for up/downs. We usually start with up for 8 counts (on the beat) then down (seated) for 8. Do that a couple times, then switch to 4's (up/down), then 2's and back up to 4, and then to 8. I can't remember if we went back down to 4's then 2's again but you definitely feel the burn in the legs and butt by the end! (A little trivia ... the song is in what movie? Starksy and Hutch)
If you want any more... just let me know. I have a music box in my head, ready and waiting to explode!
Some of these might not be good spin songs, but all of these help get me going:
-If You Wanna Be Happy by Jimmy Soul
-Wipe Out by The Surfaris
-Overload by Zappacosta
-Sunchyme by Noize Masters
-Saltwater by Chicane
I love the black eyed peas, "Hey ya" by outkast, and janet jackson tunes.
Thanks for checking up on me. The foot is doing much better, but still no running. My new shoes come in next week, and I'd rather wait and use the new shoes, then chance another injury with the old ones, you know? But not being able to run is KILLING me!
I use up songs and throw them away fast. But my songs of the day right now are:
Pump It by Black Eyed Peas
(also Let's Get It Started)
Lose Yourself by Eminem
Bleed It Out by Linkin Park
When I take classes at the gym I totally love recycled 80s music. They remix stuff. I think it's fun and fresh but I don't have any on my ipod.
Here is the playlist from my gym spin class. I have to give these a listen.
01. Hold On (KT Tunstall)
02. Bridge Over Troubled Water "Love to Infinity Radio Mix" (Hannah Jones)
03. True Believer "True Version" (E-Type)
04. Read My Mind (The Killers)
05. Runnin' Wild (Airbourne)
06. Everything (Tiësto feat. Jes)
07. Behind The Cow (Scooter)
08. Won't Go Home Without You (Maroon 5)
0i9. Glad You're Here (Macy Gray feat Fergie)
I am pasting from my blog the other day:
MY TOP 5 SONGS for 6/24/08
1. See You Again - Miley Cyrus
2. Kissed a Girl - Katy Perry
3. Shake It - Metro Station (got me started this morning!)
4. Run the Show - Kat DeLuna
5. Dangerous - Kardinal Offishall
Ooohhh I agree with Staci on Sandstorm! Honestly chica, I have more techno than gangsta shiz on my playlist. There's only so many times I can hear "I'm gonna bust that (naughty word) ass" and "git out da way biatch" I'm such a poser, huh? :P
I also dig 9PM and Don't Stop by ATB, Get Ready To Bounce by Brooklyn Bounce, gosh there's so many I can't think of them all off the top of my head LOL
Sandstorm is great.
Anything by the techno band Scooter is great. Especially "Faster Harder" and "Move Your Ass"
When I used to go to Gold's they did Les Mills RPM. Those tracks rock. I used to be a spin class addict. I even wanted to teach spin. I love to create my own workout playlists
Here is a track list for 30+ RPM releases
My Favs
Reason by Ian Van Dahl-long buildup sprints
All the people in the World by Safri Duo- good short out of your seat sprints
Blood is Pumpin by Voodoo and Serano- tough hills seated to standing
Desenchantee by Kate ryan-builds up slowly to an all out sprint
Lets go Crazy by prince-I think it was like out of the seat runs
Stomp by DJ Alligator Project- good tough out of the seat climb all the way song
I could go on and on and on. Email me if you want more
Oh and I was recently surprised to find out my favorite instructor from Gold's now teaches at LAF YAY!! Except I am not too fond of the LAF spin bikes
Oh man I love when my cycling instructor busts out the Michael Jackson and Prince...she also lets us rock out to Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy because it's so hilarious...chica even throws in some Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brothers (i kid you not...and there's definitely older people in the class)

I wish I could help ya but I am a music moron. I have no interest for the details. I can recognize songs when I hear them but never have any clue on name or artist. It's the weirdest phenomena. I think my brain must be full with all that pharmacology crap. My Hub was forever QUIZZING me when we were dating, "who is this?" "Surely you know this one?" "Just guess, I know you can get it if you just try." "I DON'T effing KNOW and I DON't effing CARE - HOW CAN I MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND THIS? Are you trying to make me feel stupid because that is what is happening!!!" It wasn't pretty . :D
Bet you're glad you asked, huh? :D
I think I love Delane.

There is a start for you girl. All of these can be found on iTunes. Have fun with them. Look for other cuts from the same artists as well. Lots of good stuff is out there, you just have to dig for it.
Hi Viv, Lily just directed me to your blog as I'm on the prowl for music playlists for training rides for my iPod, too. Happy to exchange findings :-) I just uploaded The 2005 Annual Ministry of Sound. Haven't actually tried it on the bike, yet, but think it will be quite good. Thanks in advance.
Guess, I should read all your comments first next time. To check out all the suggestions here will keep me busy for a while. :-)
I have to put a vote in for Maneater by Nelly Furtado. And...if you're feeling sassy and more than a bit non-PC, how about Smack My B&*%$ Up? Great song for pumping yourself up!
I'm certainly not the music/playlist expert (my SIL loaded most of the songs on my iPod) but a few good ones that I run to are:
Billy Idol- "Mony, Mony"; "Rebel Yell" and "Dancin with Myself"
Bodyrockers- "I Like the Way (You Move)"
Gwen Stefani- "Wind it Up"
Not sure how they would work for the bike, but you might want to check them out.
Hi !.
might , probably very interested to know how one can collect a huge starting capital .
There is no initial capital needed You may commense to receive yields with as small sum of money as 20-100 dollars.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I started to get real income.
It gets down to choose a correct companion who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the income with me.
You may ask, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my web site to get additional info.
