I teach an indoor cycling class every Tuesday and Thursday night and putting together an exciting and heart-pumping playlist is one of my favorite parts! My daughters know way more music than other kids their age, haha!
You may or may not know this, but if you have an Amazon Prime membership, you have access to over 2 million songs on Amazon Music – FOR FREE! That is a lot of music already at your fingertips!
If you want access to 70 million songs (wowza!), it’s easy to upgrade for a nominal monthly fee. Click the banner below to get 3 MONTHS FREE and never run out of new music to listen to!
There seriously isn’t a day that I don’t use my Amazon Music account. I use it when I’m cooking, cleaning, relaxing outside, getting dressed…I constantly have music streaming!
Please read: It’s important to me to play songs that are not explicit or full of inappropriate content. Occasionally, I will miss a lyric or link to the wrong version of a song. If this happens, please forgive me and know it was not my intention. Thanks in advance!

Phew, that was fun! It’s so hard to narrow down any kind of playlist for me because I just love so many different types of music. We’ll have to do this again sometime real soon. Any suggestions for genres or exercise type you’d like to see?
In the meantime, if you’re looking for a way to put these songs to use, I’d love for you to check out my members-only workout and playlist library. You can get instant access by putting your info in the form below.
