Tonight the cauldron will be lit by the Olympic torch, inaugurating the 31st summer Olympics in Rio. Why not celebrate with by using a few of the songs that have been chosen as this summer's anthem in your next class?
Katy Perry's new song Rise is the theme for NBC's broadcast of the Olympic games. It's a bit slow, which might work great for a steep climb. You'll love the inspirational lyrics: “When the fire's at my feet again/And the vultures all start circling/They're whispering, ‘you're out of time'/ But still I rise.”

I'm sure most of us are familiar with Donna Lewis' hit I Love You Always Forever from 1996. It's just one of those songs you hear and you're like, “I REALLY LIKE this song!” This June, Betty Who covered it, and today, the remix album dropped. I'm really liking the Instant Karma Remix. Check them out and choose your favorite!

Lately I've been all about the remixes. Remixes are so great because it's like taking a song you've heard a million times before and making it brand new. Sometimes I find that I like the remixes even better than the original. Sometimes the bpm becomes faster or slower, which is great if you've been wanting to use a song but have not been able to fit it in because it was just too slow or too fast. So here are a few remixes of newer songs that I've been using lately. I hope you enjoy them!

Today is the official release day of both the new Ghostbusters movie and the Ghostbusters soundtrack. Elle King's Good Girls was released back in June and is the lead single to the soundtrack which also includes songs by Fall Out Boy with Missy Elliot, Walk the Moon and Pentatonix. I'll be using this as a flat road (88 rpm) and I like it every bit as much as Ex's and Oh's and America's Sweetheart.
