My TOP 5 Blogs For YOUR Ride Inside

Since this posted in 2016, only one of my “TOP FIVE” sites continues to be active…THE DANCING RUNNER, by Chelsea. A HUGE shout out for this active blogger and fitness advocate! The site is more than just Studio Cycling…and you can always count on her weekly Wednesday “spin” post if that’s your thing! If you haven’t been to Chelsea’s site yet…put it on your ’23 MUST DO List!

If you know of any others active on the web, please share in the comments below. I’m working to update my list of FREE resources for anyone with a passion for Studio Cycling!

Enjoy the Ride!

Inspiration: It was (is) a busy week for me with studio cycling at the Y…classes from 45 minutes to 90 minutes…7 classes over 6 days. I started with a 60 minute playlist, added 30 minutes of Endurance tracks for the 90 minute class and removed 15 minutes of music for the 45 minute mix.

Genre: Pop, Rock, Alternative, Dance.
Approximate time: 60 minutes
