edited December 2024 in Chit-Chat
I’m teaching a Tabata class this Saturday (20 seconds all out as hard as you can go, 10 seconds rest, same exercise for 4 minutes and then switch to the next exercise and repeat). I’m trying to put together a play list and realized a few weeks ago that most of my personal music is explicit, the music may not have any (or any obvious anyway) swear words in it. I’m looking for some motivating music that would be considered radio friendly. Suggestions?

    Rammstein. Unless your class speaks German, you're golden.

    How about Titanium, by David Guetta? Definitely radio friendly, and a hell of a hook for an exercise class 'I am Titanium'

    Hmmm...for me it would be a little mix of Pitbull, Shakira,
    Lil Wayne, & Drake. Of course the "clean" versions. :smile:

    Hmmm...curious..
    I'm not sure. Never taken a Zumba class aside from doing
    the Dvd's @ home. I thought the music in Zumba was more
    of a mix of Reggaton, Calypso ..etc.
    I just figured music w/ a beat & rhythm.:happy:

    Pitbull partners with Zumba and goes to some of their conferences... but in an actual class it's hip-hop, reggaton, belly dancing, latin dancing...

    I asked Michael Bolton what kind of underwear he was wearing one time. He wouldn't answer. Too uppity. Didn't even crack a smile. His bodyguard thought it was pretty funny though.

    I stuck to du hast because 1) love it (totally forgot about year song) and 2) even if they do speak German with the double meanings I can swear I thought it was the nicer words.

    Hello guys! I still need some ideas please! My set list from this morning was okay, but I still feel like it was missing something!

    Can you give us an idea of the type of music you are looking for (preferences) and what kind of tempo? Here are a couple to get you started if you are in the mood for an old school electronica set:

    Warmups:
    5:30 - High Roller by Crystal Method ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ9Wj8GyrDU )
    Set Tunes:
    4:16 - The Revolution by BT ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyrx2QlCL34 )
    3:48 - Firestarter by The Prodigy ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8q43cFxXdA )
    3:30ish - Ready Steady Go by Paul Oakenfold ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSv3Oez4O-4 )
    7:21 - Busy Child by Crystal Method ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uxwfohzuaE )
    etc. etc. etc...

    I figured I would give you some electronia since others were headed towards industrial but I wanted to keep them as "known" songs... well.. other than The Revolution. That song just gets me pumped up for some reason. Maybe I will toss out some old school metal or industrial later if I have a moment.
