As promised, here are two more playlists. I’ve rode to all of them and they slap, THE SHIT OUT OF YOU! Just a reminder, these playlists are specific to SoulCycle style playlists. Remember to ride to the rhythm of the beat, and lead with either your left or right leg to catch the beat.
I am a SoulCycle freak! Secretly, I have always wanted to be a SoulCycle instructor. Specifically, so I could create playlists and ride to my music. I don’t know why it took me so long to start making playlists. For those of you who follow me on Insta, you know I have a Peloton and how much I despise most of the instructor’s playlists. If I hear Coolio or the song “Who Let the Dogs Out” one more time, I might throw my bike out the window. I get we all have different tastes in music, but who let the dogs out? I mean, come on, are we five years old?
I like a mixture of trap, hip hop, reggaeton and house music. I do not like pop, so if that’s your jam, my playlists will not be for you. I also don’t mess with country or rock music. Below are the three most recent playlists I’ve created. I’ve broken down the flow of each song. If you’ve taken soul before, you’ll get it pretty quickly. If you haven’t, the most important thing to remember is you ride to the beat. So unless you’re superman, you can’t have super heavy resistance and be on beat. If you’re offbeat, you’re doing it wrong! Also, make sure to ride out of the saddle for most of the ride minus the runs! You will stay in the saddle until the beat drops.
It’s important to know, SoulCycle is more than a workout. When you ride, you should let the rhythm of the music fuel your soul and let your body flow with the beat. Close your eyes, envision your dreams and chase them as you ride. Embrace every drop of sweat that falls from your body, and when you feel like giving up, push harder!
Soul is not for everyone. There is a distinct difference between soul and other cycling classes, including Peloton. I think it’s harder and faster. Riding to the beat allows you to be in a zone all by yourself. My instructors have taught me to ride without their instruction. I don’t need them in my ear because I’ve learned to feel the music and ride for myself, by myself. I enter a world where I can be whoever I want and let the music take me wherever I want to go!
Alright, enough of all that! I want to preface; I am not an expert. I may not have the flow down precisely, but it’s close enough, and I like it! If you try any of my playlists, let me know! Happy riding peeps!
