New Direction. Same Voice.

Jim Stalker Blog on Medium is getting a reset on Substack.

What was a general music and culture blog is becoming something more specific - a resource for group exercise instructors, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone who believes the right song at the right moment changes everything about a workout.

Expect playlist notes for rides you can find on Spotify, class frameworks built from teaching over 5,000 classes, and fifty years of experience about what actually works in a gym.

Starting this week: notes on several cycling playlists with links to them on Spotfy and Apple Music (subscriptions to those services required) that can make a class more engaging or your next solo ride (or workout) more interesting.

In the coming weeks — more playlist posts and practical workout commentary about exercises, routines, and strategies that help you live better. No subscription required for my substack.

Glad you’re here.

Show up.
