Crookers Spinning It

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 06:18:08 -0500

After discovering that the new gym I joined has that worse spinning instructors ever, I came home and went through the mixes on my computer to see if I had anything I could do my own thing with. This hot mix from Crookers was the first thing I listened to. It was released it in May (don't know why it wasn't posted before), but don't let that stop you.

This is an AWESOME 30 minute mix that's perfect for spinning or cycling at the gym. Listen and download from zShare.net.

We Made It - Busta Rhymes feat. Linkin Park

Linkin Park & Busta Rhymes. We Made It.
Featured on the Banging HipHop Workout Playlist.

The lyrics are really what make this song, and why I listen to it at the beginning and end of every playlist. The lyrics can be found at Yoursonglyrics.com. The chorus is below:

Together we made it
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall
Forever we waited
And they told us we were never going to get it
But we took it on the road (to the riches)
On the road (to the ghetto)
On the road (and the projects to this banging instrumental)

Asafa Powell Train For Speed Nike Workout Playlist

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 09:27:06 -0500

Track star Asafa Powell put together a mix of reggae songs for a Nike Sports iMix - Train for Speed. Asafa is one of the most exciting track stars ever (and I'm not just saying this because we are both Jamaican), and he will be a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming Olympics. Most songs on this playlist are reggae classics and well worth listening to. It's also available on iTunes.

VonMarxen Mix

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 07:20:48 -0500

Music: Mixes || Workout: Elliptical.

This mix put out by Vonmarxen is on fire and works well as an elliptical playlist. The style is club mixes of hiphop, rock and even some remixed oldies is thrown in - we're talking The Jackson 5 people! It's a short but spicy 27 minutes of music that totally kept me guessing about what was coming next. Vonmarxen says:

I've finally had a few moments to gain the minimum skills needed to crank out a basic mix. No particular theme or order, but just a couple of songs that I've dug in the past few months/years.

I say, Thanks! Listen and download via zShare.
