Hello Bloggers and Bloggees!
What are ya’ll plans for the day? I’ve got some homework and a school group meeting…then I’m free! I forsee some shopping and some dog parking in my near future 😉
I’ve got some new playlists for you! I had a request from a student to post my kickboxing mix, and who am I to deny such a request?? I also have another spinning playlist for you (which can also be used for running, elliptical, treadmill, etc.). First up: kickboxing!
*Note-I use the heavy bags in my class, so that’s why the songs have a lower BPM (beats per minute). For this class you also need a jump rope and a mat (for abs). This can also be done at home shadow boxing.
That was a Crazy Game of Poker–OAR: Set up and Stretch
Mama Said Knock You Out–LL Cool J: Learn Punches and Kicks
Heart of a Champion–Nelly: Dynamic Warm up, All punches and kicks 50% on the bag
Breath, Stretch, Shake–Mase and P Diddy: Continue Dynamic Warm Up
The Way you Make me Feel–Michael Jackson: Simple Combos, Still Warming up
WATER BREAK
Da Dip–Freak Nasty: Jump rope (or Jumping Jacks if you don’t have one)
The Rockafeller Skank–Fatboy Slim: Jump rope (or Jumping Jacks), Push up Sets (2-3 sets of 20), Planks, Jumprope
WATER BREAK
**100% all out on bags for the rest of class
Ghetto Musick–OutKast: Jabs when music is fast, Bob and Weave when music is slow
Calm like a Bomb–Rage Against the Machine: Heavy Combos
The Good Left Undone–Rise Against: Heavy Combos
Rollin’–Limp Bizkit: Free Song
Bodies–Drowning Pool: Last Song…All Out! 8 Jabs and Hit the Floor
Eagle Eye Cherry–Save Tonight: Stretch
Next up: Spinning!
Lola–The Kinks: Stretch
Daylight–Matt and Kim: Warm Up
Get Free–The Vines: Sprint
Push It–Rick Ross: Fast Climb
Crawling in the Dark–Hoobastank: Heavy Sprint (still heavy from climb)
Going Out of My Head–Fatboy Slim: Recovery
Face Down–Red Jumpsuit Apparatus: Sprints
It’s Tricky–Run DMC: Heavy Jumps
Prayer of the Refugee–Rise Against: Sprints
I’m not Over–Carolina Liar: Recovery
I Caught Myself–Paramore: Beginning of 3 song climb
The Distance–CAKE: Middle of Climb
One Big Mob–Red Hot Chili Peppers: My FAVORITE spin song EVER! Sprint, Climb, Sprint
Take the Money and Run–Steve Miller Band: Cool down
I’m Yours–Jason Mraz: Stretch
**Leave a Comment: Do you have any song suggestions for Spinning, Running, Kickboxing, Weight Lifting, etc? What do you workout to?

I like when people share their playlists because I might hear of different songs I’ve never heard of or paid attention to before!
Heh, I download that “believe” song by Cher because it is a good running tempo, then I downloaded Fire Burning On The Dance Floor to pump myself up before a race 😀
