Get Ready To Explode 326
This 2016 mix uses a favorite 7-minute drill! Can also be done as a shorter 5-minute version. Breaking the ride into 1-minute segments: 1st minute is all seated, and each minute following…gradually more time standing, until the last minute which is all standing. Overall half the time is seated, half standing. I like the 7-minute version best.
Inspiration: For this ride I used longer tracks, 7-9 minutes, for more of an endurance theme…but no worries, still some intense sprinting to do this time. For the 4 Minutes track I used a drill from previous classes…the 1st minute is all seated, the 7th minute is all standing…the 2nd – 6th minute segments are progressively less seated and more standing in 10 second increments. I used this playlist / profile for two classes this week and got some great feedback…check it out!
Genre: Alternative, EDM, Pop
Approximate time: 64 minutes

Would have never in a MILLION YEARS thought that something like these past two years would happen in my lifetime! It’s not been great, but it’s forced some positive changes in lifestyle, work-life balance, etc. It’s good to see positive trends over the last few months! Take care, stay safe, BE WELL…ENJOY THE RIDE!
Inspiration: WTF! Life on Earth has changed so much since I signed off for an intentional pause, just before the start of Lent. The irony of lent this year, turns out I gave up more than blog posts this lent…worse yet, tens of thousands of people are loosing their battle with Covid-19, and many survivors struggle with anxiety and depression. These circumstances are testing all “pillars” of health and wellness (physical, mental, financial, etc.). Over the next months, years we’ll be dealing with the collateral damage of this “novel” virus.
I’m so thankful that outside of the cycle studio, my work is deemed ESSENTIAL and I’ve been able to work from home…and thankful that my co-workers, wife, parents, daughers, their partners, my AMAZING granddaughter, and other friends and family are healthy and managing this pandemic as well as can be expected!
Now, let’s change the subject…
A quick follow-up SHOUT-OUT…
