A two-person song, with a two-person perspective for today with some meaningful lyrics to boot! This 65 rpm climb has beautiful instrumentals and harmonies that build, with call outs at 1:38 and 3:00. These two cue spots are a perfect time to have your class add load, but hold cadence at 65 rpms. Now that… 
This fabulous artist can not only sing, play guitar and drums, but she is also quite a little athlete. She runs 6 miles a day and is a marathoner. Today’s 4:17, 86 bpm flat road has an ethereal 15 seconds before a hard beat kicks in. There are great nuances to work with throughout the…
John is it possible to add the BPM to all the songs in my iTunes library? The short answer for most of us is yes, with the exception of any tracks you purchased directly from iTunes back when much of their music carried DRM – Digital Rights Management. What follows is a complete video tutorial…
This Friday brings you a 91 bpm flat that John “would never listen to”. However, it grabbed me, and my class liked it a lot last night as we worked sprints. It has some Michael Jackson flashback sounds (RIP Michael) and we held our working leg speed and high endurance heart rate for a 4:08…
No, I don’t do the whole “Friday the 13th” bit. But today’s Free Music Friday is a bit unconventional in that it’s a number of very long songs that you could incorporate into one of your endurance classes. I’m really getting into the whole “Zen” thing and Trance music at the right BPM is really…
I sure enjoyed talking with everyone who participated in Sunday’s training I’ll be scheduling the next Spotify LIVE training soon – click here to get on the early notification list. A number of you were interested in the little Tap to the Beat BPM counter I used when I sample music. Right Click the image…
Today is about “tongue in cheek” fun on a climb. At 63 rpm’s, it is versatile enough to use for a seated or standing climb. It also has the perfect feel for “lifts” while simulating getting out of the saddle for pretend potholes in the road. You could even tell a little story about riding…
By Team ICG® Master Instructor Jim Karanas My last two articles were on video because it will affect our industry dramatically in 2012. Long before video, however, something else inspired us to ride bikes indoors: music. There’s no denying music’s powerful impact on the class experience. One way that happens is through emotion. Music inspires…
Here is a nice inspirational tune from a band out of Aurora, Colorado to use coming out of, or leading into a climb, with rpm’s of 73. There is some nice points where you could add your voice to coach and guide your class, with inspirational cueing or storytelling, to bring them to a strong…
I’m now completely free to position myself anywhere in my class, with complete control of my music thanks to a tip from PRO Member Instructor Chuck Gauran. In this earlier post I discussed using Chuck’s tip for using a BlueTooth receiver to connect my iPhone to the club’s sound system. Then Instructor Gregory Ortiz sent me…
