Stampede…Hold On 594

Here we go, it’s 2026…and the New FITNESS Year is in a FULL SPRINT with all the revived fitness resolutions! A big rush of people seeking fitness equipment, gym / club / studio memberships, and fitness coaches…for a healthier lifestyle (at least for the next 4-6 weeks!).

Here’s my latest mix and first ride for the new year…an eclectic assortment of 13 tracks for an awesome 45-min HIIT ride. Be sure to check out the newer tracks from Sam Tinnesz, deadmau5, Gareth & VAVO, and XG. Also look for these new-to-me or encore tracks sure to kick start your ’26 fitness journey: Physical Remix (Dua Lipa/Troye Sivan), Stop The Rain (Ed Sheeran), Once in a Lifetime (Talking Heads), Best I Ever Had (Gavin DeGraw), Revolution (Kirk Franklin & The Family), and Gypsy (Lady Gaga). I picked-up on Revolution while watching an episode of HBO’s current installment of Hard Knocks: NFC East.
