Today I did a really fun class based on the decades of music and cadence to match the decade (i.e. 70's-70rpm, 80's-80, 90's-90, 00-100)
Here are the songs i chose. I basically just varied the positions based on the songs and I would add resistance/take it off but make them maintain the cadence. It was a lot of fun and I had a lot of good responses.
This idea came from billpierce from the innercycling forum. Although I chose different songs than he chose.
70's
Pink Floyd-Another brick in the wall
Beatles-Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Queen-Bicycle race
80's
Bon Jovi-Living on a Prayer
U2-Beautiful day (ok, so I think this is 90's, next time I will choose one of their other songs)
Erasure- oh l'Amour
Quite Riot-Come on feel the noise (I had to really encourage them to add resistance to hold cadence on this one)
90's
Technotronic's -Pump up the jam (we were al laughing to this one)
Nirvana- Smells like teen spirit
Sheryl Crow-Everyday is a winding road
00's
Kelly Clarkston-Because of you
KT Tunsall-black horse and the cherry tree
Cool down
Some Nora Jones tracks
It was a lot of fun and it was great to see all of the students in sync on cadence.
It was a full house and I had a bunch of compliments after class.
I was also thinking you could do some movie tracks and make a class into a movie theme class or something.
Basically just have fun with lots of genera's!
