The Little Things
November 5, 2013

When I first started teaching Pilates back in September, one of the biggest sources of stress for me was coming up with a playlist that matched the beats of the music for the beats that I wanted to do. There was a whole choreography process that took me a few weeks, and I ran through the class a few times in my living room. I thought from time to time I might share these playlists. This is the first playlist I came up with for my pilates barre class:

And here it is broken down by section:

Warm Up

Pilates Section

Planks Section

Cardio Section

Barre Section

Cool Down

This playlist clocks in right at 59.8 minutes. The funny thing is that now, when I hear a song from this list, I immediately start doing the moves that I have my students do during the song. For example, everytime I hear the song “can’t hold us” on the radio, I start doing jumpking jacks in my head. This playlist has a lot of energy though, which is perfect for 6 am class!

Now it’s your turn to share! What are a few of your favorite work out songs right now? How do you build a playlist?
