This next playlist was designed to be HIIT work (high intensity intervals) to build the heart rate up to the 90-100% zone and then recover to 60-70% and then work back up and repeat. Violet Stars Happy Hunting by Janelle Monae

Hit Me With Your Best Shot/One Way or Another from the Glee Soundtrack Shallow Remix by Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga This next playlist is another mix of tracks meant to switch it up between speed work and strength work to keep the body moving and working at different intervals throughout the ride. It’s Not Right But It’s Okay by Whitney Houston Too Good at Goodbyes (dance mix) by Sam Smith Waving Through a Window (dance mix) by Ben Platt It starts off with an extended instrumental warmup and ends with an easy cool down with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. This playlist is a balance of sprints, seated and standing climbs and some jumps. He shared six playlists with us with everything from warmup and cool down tracks to sprint tracks and slow climbs. We asked certified Spinning Instructor Jason Jaquays-Tarbox what he’s been playing in his Spinning Workouts since Spinning focuses on both high-intensity cardio (speed and sprint work) and strength building (high resistance climbs and jumps). Dance and House music are great for cardio workouts. Rock and Hip Hop are great genres for strength training and weight lifting. Changing up your tunes can help you blast through a plateau or set new personal records.ĭifferent types of music are great for different types of workouts. Finding great music to help you get the most out of your workout can get tiring, and often times we find ourselves listening to the same songs or playlists over time. Music is a powerful motivator both inside and outside the gym. Is it possible to hear the theme from Rocky without pushing yourself a little harder? When the beat drives forward isn’t it hard not to pick up your pace to match it? There are a number of things we can do to get ourselves pumped up to have a great workout, but possibly the most effective of those things is the music.
