Cycling Class Profile and Playlist: Two Mountains
Hey guys! Happy Saturday!
Last week in my Saturday class we climbed two mountains. Usually I allow for more recovery in my class profiles, but this time I wanted to make it more challenging and work on muscle strength and endurance with my riders. So I came up with this cycling class profile.
I got very good feedback both on the class profile and the playlist. The playlist part of the feedback actually surprised me because a lot of the songs on it are outside of my regulars’ genre preferences. Yet there they were – sweaty and happy with both the workout and the music. So I’m sharing the ride with you today.Continue Reading

Cycling Class Profile and Nike.com Gift Card Giveaway
Hey-hey, my fitness gang! How is that week going?
Here is the weekly Indoor Cycling Class Profile and Playlist for ya! I hope you’re riding outside today and come back here later to check this post out and let me know what you think.
So I keep experimenting with the format of these posts, and today is going to be another experiment. I am open to feedback and suggestions if you have any – just let me know in comments.
I’m going to post a .pdf cue sheet of the ride from the Class Builder™ App by Cycling Fusion, post the usual iTunes Playlist for the ride so you can quickly click through to buy a song you like from the playlist (or the whole playlist), and add some notes below it all to explain the ride in a little bit more detail.

Cycling Class Profile and Playlist #5 – Ride to the 80’s
Happy Monday, my friends!
This week’s Cycling Class Profile is called “Ride to the 80’s”.
Special thanks to Sue over at Mrs. Fatass for song ideas! 🙂
I taught this class last Saturday and my riders really enjoyed it. I love teaching Saturday classes – they are one hour long vs. my usual 45 minute class format, which is challenging by itself 🙂 Also, Saturday class is taught by a different instructor every week and usually has better attendance numbers than weekday classes (looking at you, weekend warriors 🙂 ).
And – you never know who’s coming to your Saturday class vs. having your regulars in your usual scheduled classes.
Anyway, I thought I’d do something fun this week – both with the music and the routine.
But before I dive into the drills and routines, here’s a video that inspired me to do one of the fun drills in Saturday class.Continue Reading
