In “Rise & Shine,” director and choreographer Nick Kenkel and video editor Daniel Robinson took viewers inside a cardio-heightening workout fantasy featuring buff instructor Alec Varcas and set to a combination of the appropriately titled “Bicycle Race” by Queen and “Ride” performed by Ciara featuring Ludacris.
