Let's Get Physical!**

I am sort of a workout fanatic.  I visit the gym nearly every day, and I work hard when I'm there.  I usually do a high-intensity aerobic dance class a couple of times a week, a spin class twice a week, and a kick-boxing/hip hop class once a week.  These classes all come with music  -- and it's all about the beat.  Loud, lively, catchy-tune kind of music. . . that makes you want to work harder, jump higher, and just ignore the pain. 

That's what workout music should do:  Inspire . . . keep you moving. . . and dull the senses!

I have a workout playlist on my iPod -- songs I can listen to when I'm working out without a  built-in soundtrack provided by a class.

What are my 10 Favorite Workout Songs?  Let's just look to my playlist. . .

1.    Song 2 -- by Blur

2.    Walk This Way -- Aerosmith

3.    Fighter -- Christina Aguilera

4.    Learn to Fly -- Foo Fighters

5.    Look Around -- Red Hot Chili Peppers

6.    Smooth Criminal -- Alien Ant Farm

7.    Even Flow -- Pearl Jam

8.    Lose Yourself -- Eminem

9.    Mysterious Ways -- U2

10.  Born This Way -- Lady Gaga

How about YOU?  What songs do you like to listen to when YOU work out?

Lady Gaga is always great for working out. I'm not familiar with many of your songs but I'll be checking them out. I do find I need to rotate the music frequently so the more I have on my list the better off I am!

You had me worried. Now I know why you get the earworms you do. So, you'll be dragging me all over our mountains and I won't be able to keep up!

Old school stuff is what really gets me moving. 80's and 90's dance grooves. The kickboxing and cardio classes that I do use a mixture of older and newer stuff. But always a good beat to keep you motivated and moving.

I need to get back to walking again...maybe what I really need is some music to get me going!

Ooo, some good ones I'm going to need to add to the playlist. Thank you, mine was needing an injection of some new tunes!
