Grab these alternating slow and speedy songs for your Ride profiles and playlists

It's easy to overcomplicate our indoor cycling workout routines - trust me - I can spend hours listening to music looking for a "gem" song to be the soundscape for a workout I am planning! Looking back on my picks for the best 10 songs, remixes, mashups that were a hit in my workout profiles and indoor cycling classes - I am stuck by the tunes that made the cut - there diversity, intensity, and what I like to call a little attitude.

Of course they reflect my own personal style. I fully expect you not to like them all.. if any... I just hope to inspire you!

When it comes to selecting the most motivational music for your indoor cycling classes, I recommend that you try to include several different genres in your routines and class profiles. This site - Indoor Cycling Mixes - is all about finding that magic mix of classic rock, electronic, pop, mashups, remixes, trance, hell even the occasional country song - to create the perfect playlist.

Tip: Keep things Simple

But when you really simplify things in spin class for interval training, all it really requires is slow and fast movement. To break this down even further—and up the fun factor—we've assembled a playlist that pairs speedy (high BPM/energy) and slower songs together so that all you need to do is follow the beat for runs/flats and hills/climbs... enjoy.
