Start with a moderate effort, build toward threshold, then surge into anaerobic territory. Or use the gradual build to set up a hard seated HIIT interval. This 174 bpm drum and bass gem gives you two great ways to turn up the intensity!Read more…
The best indoor cycling music does more than keep the pedals turning. It can change the atmosphere in the room, tell a story, stir an emotion, and take riders somewhere far beyond the bike. I first discovered music like this at the early Spinning® conferences, where Johnny G and master instructors from around the world showed us just how powerful that mind-body connection could be. And yes, you can still create those experiences today.Read more…
National Cat Day is coming, why not throw in a few feline tracks to celebrate our whiskered companions?

Sometimes all you need is a beautiful rhythm, a gradually building challenge, and a piano solo so good that you can’t help but pretend you’re playing it yourself.Read more…
