I have always loved spinning, but since Thanksgiving I have been going to a studio called VitalCycle and I am truly obsessed. Each bike has a monitor on it that gives you your RPMs, your energy # and kCals burned. I don’t exactly know what a kCal is, but my actual calories are always way more than it says on the monitor. The average of the class’ RPM and energy is on a big screen in front of the class and the total calories burned is also on the screen. It is so motivating and keeps you on track because the instructor will tell you what RPMs you should be at or what your energy # should be. Of course, everyone can go at there own pace, but I am competitive so it gives me an extra boost. I usually burn over 700 calories for a 50 minute class. The playlist for each class varies.
If you are a spinner, then you know how a song can make or break your rhythm and ride. I have listed some songs that I feel will pump up your ride and keep you pedaling. Tell your spin instructor about some of them and maybe they will add them to their playlist.
Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey
Work This Body by Walk the Moon
Shut Up and Dance by Walk The Moon
I’d Do Anything for Love by Meatloaf
What is your favorite spinning song?
Wake Me Up by Avicii is a great one! Some of these I’ve never heard so I’ll add them to my Spotify playlist and listen!
They are all very motivating and get you up and moving:)
Body Work by Tegan & Sara is my workout jam! I love your playlist!
Need to check that one out…thanks
Love all of these songs!! I’m going to add them to my workout playlist 🙂
Thanks!!! What are your favorites??
SUCH great songs for spinning. One of my favourites is “Shame” by the young dubliners, and also “Timber” by Kesha (of course).
OH!!!! I love Timber too…forgot that one
I’ve never done a spin class (I’ve always been too intimidated!) but this post makes it seem like a lot of fun!
I JUST convinced my husband to try one so he’s doing it tomorrow…he’s NEVER done one and hasn’t been working out…give it a try…you may LOVE it
