New Feature Makes Cadence Revolution a “One Stop Shop”!
Y’all have heard me sing the praises of Cadence Revolution as a great way to get pre-mixed playlists for my Spinning classes. While it has been a while since I used them, mostly because I am in the middle of my maternity leave, I still like checking out their mixes and finding new musical inspirations from their site. This week, they began offering “the workout” — a very loose profile based on exertion levels — to accompany their mixes. What a great way to cut down prep time even further for busy instructors who need to put it all together fast! The workout provides very general cues, which can be taken as good or bad, depending on how much hand-holding you need. If you are looking for a pre-choreographed, just-read-the-script kind of ride, this isn’t it, but if you just like some easy suggestions that you can take in any direction you see fit, then I think you’ll really like this new feature. So, take a look at their latest release and see what you think!

Music Outside the Juke Box
Here is another outstanding contribution from Biray Alsac on a topic of great personal interest to me! Music plays a very large role in how our classes are received, so I know you will appreciate this great info from Biray!
Music Outside the JukeBox!
By Biray Alsac
It’s no secret – music can make or break any group fitness class. Without good tunes, members may tune out (or listen to their iPod while exercising to their own beat). So, instructors are always looking for new songs (or remix of old songs) that continue to engage and motivate participants.
With websites like iTunes, Napster and Pandora (a site that recommends new music based on songs you already like), there are endless opportunities to discover new material. But sometimes we don’t have time to search for new music or find different resources on the web. Read below to learn new ways to create your perfect soundtrack for class.
