New Cycle Fusion Playlist from the Doctor:
Every now and again, I happen to create what literally might be “The Perfect Playlist”. The Perfect Playlist includes songs from various genres, good beats, high energy, and of course – a mix of old hits and hot off the iTunes release chart songs. (Keep in mind that my definitions of “old hits” are songs that are 5 or so years old. While I do enjoy dancing to Blues Brothers at weddings – I do not enjoy the Brothers so much in a spin class …. Sorry!)
So here are the latest tracks fresh off DJ Courtney’s iPod:
|
Song |
Artist | |
| Lisztomania | Phoenix | Warm-up |
| Can’t Remember for Forget You | Shakira (Feat. Rhianna) | Seated & Standing Climb |
| This song has a great beat to ease your class into the workout with a level 6 & 7 climb. An added bonus – Shakira and Rhianna are fitness inspirations to everyone! | ||
| Come & Get It | Krewella | Sprints! 2 seated, 1 standing |
| I have officially developed a hard core crush on this group. This song has great energy and is beyond a shadow of a doubt THE MOST PERFECT SPRINTING song EVER. You will KNOW when to hit the gas with this one. | ||
| Lights (Bassnectar Remix) | Ellie Goulding | Floor mix |
| Good Feeling | Flo Rida | Seated & Standing Climb |
| Great song – everyone knows the words… Well most of the words at least. I prefer a level 7 & 8 climb – with a break about halfway through | ||
| Just Tonight | Jimmy Eat World | Attacks |
| Whatever happened to this great band?! This is a great Attack song – high energy with just the right amount of recovery time built in between the choruses. | ||
| Need You Tonight (Static Revenge Remix) | INXS | Floor mix, or a great climb song |
| A classic song made better with some additional bass and a little extra beat. You can get it with this jam. | ||
| Harlem | New Politics | Sprints or Attacks |
| Clocking in at 2 mins 45 seconds – this is a short song perfect for short, high intensity bouts of work. | ||
| Untouched | The Veronicas | Seated & Standing Climb – Fast Pace |
| Great temp climb – less resistance but faster pace. If you know anything about me by now – you should know that I love girl groups – and this song is probably in my top 20 of all time favs. | ||
| Power Glove | Knife Party | Floor mix |
| With a name as strong as Knife Party, you need to bring it – and boy this group brings it hard core. I have to admit, I was intimidated at first, it sounds scary… But after a few times listening to their songs, I actually really like them. A lot. And so does another cute little blond girl in my class with no tattoos or piercings (that I can see). Maybe they are becoming more mainstream? Either way – great song so check it out. | ||
| Lessons In Love (Feat. Neon Trees) | Kaskade | Power Climb – Level 8 & 9 |
| This song has everything a power climb needs – a strong beat, is about 4 mins long, and has a catchy chorus. Good thing there is a short break about halfway through – this is a tough climb! | ||
| Move | Little Mix | Seated & Standing Climb Level 6 & 7 |
| Hot off the iTunes release chart (released Feb. 4). This girl group’s vocals are fun – and after consulting with a mom from the YMCA, I have learned this group also has a positive “Girl Power” vibe for the “Tween” age group. Hold up, wait – I am listening to music 12 year olds are into? Hey, that’s ok. Listen to this song and then tell me you don’t like it! Girl Power all day every day! | ||
| Wild | Royal Teeth | Cool Down |
| I have to end my class with a some-what alternative song – if for no other reason than to balance out all the pop music I play! |
So there you have it. The latest and greatest from my cycle fusion class! I am interested to know what you think! Let me have it – do you love it, do you hate it? What songs do you use?
Thanks!
And until next time, fusion on!
Awesome playlist!!
