BROOKLYN FIT CHICK’S PLAYLIST
“Ventura Highway” 50-Minute Ride
Kings of Leon
Hey there! Hi there! Ho there!
This week’s playlist is a mixture of old and new styles of music for a 50-minute cardio workout that works well for indoor cycling, outdoor running and the elliptical. The pace is a mixture of easy resistance and a fast cadence to slower climbs requiring more muscle endurance.
Be sure to keep hydrated while you workout and as always—send me your favorite song suggestions!
Venture Highway (Deepsky’s Blizzard in L.A. Remix): America
I have used this song as a warm-up before and it always makes me feel happy. The mixture of dreamy orchestration mixed with the 70s hit makes me want to wear a poncho and stare at the stars at night.
Anything, Anything: Dramarama
OMG—I freaking love this song from the early 80s. The band broke up in 1994 but got back together after appearing in VH-1’s Bands Reunited.
Rumble and Sway: Jamie N Commons
This cute British boy is just 25 years old but rocks like an old blues artist.
Supersoaker: Kings of Leon
This song always makes me want to run faster and work harder. Perfect for sprints or running intervals.
Once in a Lifetime: Talking Heads
By far my favorite version of one of the best tunes of all freaking time!
Tongue Tied: Group Love
If you need something fun and poppy after a big mean climb.
I am One: Smashing Pumpkins
My inner 90s warrior chick luvs this band and this song in particular.
Blow Me One Last Kiss: P!nk
I think I have a problem when it comes to P!nk because if I do not hear her every single day—my world seems boring.
Tusk: Fleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac released a double album after their smash Rumors called Tusk and it contains exactly two decent songs on it. Can you guess the other one?
Bodysnatchers: Radiohead
This is a little gem from their In Rainbows CD you were allowed to pay whatever you wanted for it at the time.
Use Me (Live): Hootie & The Blowfish
Yes, I picked a Hootie song because this cover of Bill Withers’ hit kicks serious ass!
Love Runs Out: OneRepublic
Not sure why they do not have a space between “One” and “Republic” but I do like this tune.
That’s the Way: Led Zeppelin
The “Gods of Thunder” could write pretty ballads and this one always puts me in a good mood.
That’s all I have today folks. Let me know about some of your favorite songs and radio stations. I am always looking for good tunes.
Until next time…
