Arcade Fire's latest album: The Suburbs is $5 the month of April. This band is hot right now. They recently won a Grammy for Album of the Year. Love, love this album. Check it out:

Remember to eat a healthy breakfast before your A.M. workout. If you are working out later in the day, grab an apple or banana. Also, if you have a vigorous weekly work-out schedule, don't forget to add some protein to your diet. This can include a glass of skim milk, reduced-fat string cheese, low-fat yogurt or a slice of deli meat. Make sure you take a look at the nutrition facts of yogurt.

Any chance I get to create a themed playlist for my cycle class, I do it. So for St. Patty's day I created a playlist of Celtic Rock bands. I threw in two Scottish bands, because I really like these songs and they are fun to exercise too. Hope the "Luck of the Irish" follows you tomorrow and enjoy this rockin' Celtic playlist: Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me - U2 - warm-up Requiem For A

I consider myself a movie and music buff; therefore, it made complete sense to me to create a movie themed playlist. So in honor of the Oscars, I created a playlist featuring music from movies nominated for the 2010 Oscars. Not to leave out the movies nominated for the Razzies, I included those too :)  The following songs are from movies past and present. Enjoy! Uprising - Muse - warm-up, from

Atlanta was hit with a crippling snowstorm on January 9, 2011. The weatherman predicted at least 4 inches of snow followed by freezing rain causing the roads to be very hazardous and telling everyone that they aren't going to be able to leave the house for a few days. Well, maybe it was this Florida native's experience of Hurricane preparedness that made me pay close attention to what the

No, I didn't play that classic Adam Sandler turkey song in my spin class, perhaps next year ;)  I put together a playlist for Thanksgiving this year and it was a lot of fun. Hope everyone had a wonderful Turkey Day.  Enjoy the playlist! Every Day Should Be A Holiday - The Dandy Warhols - Warm-up. Wouldn't this be nice if this song was true?

Oh, how I love Halloween. The candy, the costumes, the beautiful fall weather. I had a lot of fun coming up with this Halloween playlist for my indoor cycling class. I had over an hour of music but had to cut out some songs to fit into a 45 minute class. This playlist has a ghostly theme...enjoy and have a fun and safe Halloween...

I did something fun in my last class that I subbed. I scoured my massive music library and found lots of cover tunes. I created a playlist of songs covered by modern day bands. Some songs were well known, some obscure, but it was fun to guess who the original artist was. I also included a bit of trivia for each of the songs: So here is my cover play list: L.A. Woman - Billy Idol - The Doors, 1971

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.

I've subbed 2 spin classes this week and each time it gets easier and I'm less nervous. I love teaching! I can't wait until I get called to sub again. I think I've found my calling: combining my love of music and exercise. My confidence has been boosted because I've class participants go out of their way after class to compliment the routine and the music. Woohoo! Here is one play list that I

I was an absolute nervous wreck this morning when I taught my first spin class. I subbed for another teacher this morning and I think overall I did well. I just need to speak louder in the microphone, but you know I'm a soft-spoken person, so I will just need practice. The following is the playlist I used for my first spin: 1. Magnificent - U2 2. I'm A Believer - new Weezer from the new Shrek

Check out this new alt/classic rock super group featuring Queens of the Stone Age's guitarist and vocalist Josh Homme, Nirvana/Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl on drums, and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones on bass. Not sure how long this album will be $2.99, but get it while it's discounted!

When I first began this blog I wasn't sure what direction it would take. Well, it looks like my topic of choice is music. I love music. I surround myself with music. I encourage my children to sing and dance and appreciate music. My interest began when I was 9 years old when I was given a Blondie record as a gift. I would sing and dance in my room with my disco ball twirling about. Yes, I had a

Yes, that is what Mr. Spock says quite frequently on Star Trek: The Original Series. What is more fascinating to me is that my daughters (9 and 5 years of age) love this show! I shouldn't say that I'm completely surprised. After all, I remember watching the reruns when I was young. My dad and I would bond and watch the show on the local UHF channel while my mother was cooking dinner. Of course,

Just in time for the start of their U.S. tour, which happens to begin right here in the ATL. -- Amazon is offering Muse's 'Origin of Symmetry' today only for $2.99.  Woohoo!

I remember when I was 11 years old and Santa brought us the Atari Game System. My dad and I played Asteroids until 3 in the morning and therein, my gaming obsession began. In college, I inherited my brother's old Nintendo system and I was introduced to Super Mario Brothers and Tetris. Well, I lost interest in video games after college because I was concentrating on career and other life events.

I'm always looking for ways to use non-toxic cleaners at home. I was having problems with my gym clothes still smelling after washing . I tried washing in heavy duty mode with hot water and color safe bleach. I don't like using bleach unless I absolutely have to, after all, it is a chemical. So one day I tried a cup of vinegar along with my regular detergent and voila! It worked! No more smelly

Who knew kids would be so entertaining? Yeah, mine drive me nuts sometimes, but there is never a dull moment. My nine year old gets angry with her five year old sister and calls her evil.

I know I talk about the Amazon MP3 store a lot, but I can't help sing the praise of Amazon MP3s! They have such amazing deals. Today's deal is Vampire Weekend's new album released today for $3.99: I'm continuing to build up my MP3 library (thanks to Amazon) so I when I become a spin instructor I will never be at a loss for good music to spin to.
