DECONSTRUCTING A FLEXPILATES PLAYLIST

It’s no secret that music is a huge part of every FLEX workout. The playlist can make or break a class, which is why we spend a lot of time and energy to make them so awesome!

Here’s last week’s class & playlist with a glimpse into the process of how it all comes together and why I chose the songs I did… Opener/Warmup Friend (Hard Times) by Galantis The opener is key to setting the tone for the class.
