Summertime Spin Tunes

Had a little fun this past Saturday with a fun summer themed ride. My playlists aren't just for spinning. Feel free to try them out on your mp3 player while you are running or on an elliptical machine. I use my playlists to exercise to even when I'm not teaching indoor cycling.
Crooked Teeth - Death Cab for Cutie - warm up
Today Is Gonna Be A Great Day - Bowling for Soup - if you have kids, you know this tune! Seated fast flat.
Hot Hot Hot !!! (2006 Remastered LP Version) -  The Cure - rolling hills
The Boys Of Summer - The Ataris - sprints at chorus, work it!
July, July! - The Decemberists - take a break, easy flat
In The Summertime - Mungo Jerry - slow down the pace, pick up some light weights and we are doing uppers.
Sunglasses At Night - Corey Hart - more rolling hills
No Sunlight - Death Cab for Cutie - fast seated flat, sprint at 1:25, 1:45, and then speed from 2:10 to the end.
Islands - XX - standing climb, it's suppose to be hard!
Melting In The Sun (LP Version) - INXS - this song makes me feel old...add resistance and stand at chorus, pick up pace.
Beautiful Day - U2 - Finale, sprints at chorus, give it all you got...
Sunburn - Muse - slow down your pace and get ready for the cool-down. I bet you didn't think I could find a summer themed Muse song right? Every one of my rides contain a Muse song or two, that's just my thing ;)
Island In The Sun - Weezer - more stretches and cool down. yeah! we did it!
