During my Saturday spin class, I decided my students were ready for a little challenge, so I put on “Ms. New Booty.” This is, hands down, the hardest, fastest song I’ve ever had in a class, and it was in my very first class! It took me a full month to be able to do the jumps as fast as our instructor and my classmates; it’s basically one count jumps and the only time you rest is the 10 or so seconds when they say, “Booty booty booty booty rockin’ everywhere….” Anyway, I had my students do two-count jumps…they’ve been working really hard, and I wanted them to push it! It was tough (I mean, I was dying too) but I was so proud of how well they kept up.
I figured I’d give them a break and not put it on tonight’s list, which I just made because I was sick of the last one. Omitting “Ms. New Booty” is partially selfish — I am very sore today from doing push-ups and squats yesterday and my knee has been bothering me, so I don’t really think I should be doing fast jumps. Most of the fast songs will be seated sprints, with a few sprints in third position. The power song is “Circus”…we’re going to run through heavy resistance on the chorus. And we don’t climb a lot in my classes, but tonight I’ve got some big hillz!
All right, peops…I am off to do Core Fusion for my abdominals before having a snack and heading to class. Catch ya later!

OMG, Rachel! I worked up the courage to try Core Fusion Pilates again today. The first time I made it about halfway. Once I got to the legs I just thought, I’m getting old! lol So, today I actually worked the whole thing [with little mini breaks and less intense style], but I am so looking forward to “feelin it” tomorrow. Thank you for turning me on to this!
Woooo! I know it’s kinda brutal but it’s SO WORTH IT!! So excited you tried it!
i love that you give us your playlists. i’m always in the search for new amazing workout songs!
