This first one is an idea I had been tossing around for a few months and finally narrowed down the music and got a workout formatted. I knew it would be hard but I didn't realize it would be as challenging as it ended up being. Several members came up to me and said it was the hardest class they had ever taken, so be careful. Proceed with caution...
The biggest difference in this playlist is that I chose music with lots of changes in each song. Typically a song stays about the same tempo or pace throughout. The songs I really like to spin to are ones that have lots of cadence or tempo changes, going both faster AND slower. Each song ends up being it's own mini "class". It is difficult because there is very little recovery built in. You just follow the music. Like you would follow the road on your bike outside, the music is your path. Do what it tells you...

And lastly, it is my first born's birthday on the 16th of this month so I decided to do a playlist of his favorite tunes. Actually, I must add a disclaimer. I made this for his iPod last summer and apparently it is very uncool to like Katy Perry as a sixth grader, so he would no longer approve of that song. But I left it on there anyway. I am still his mother you know :)
