Thank you for your motivational comments on yesterday's post. You have some really great ideas as well philosophies on how motivation can come and go.
Here are my current favorite workout songs (in no particular order):
Onwards to WORKOUT WEDNESDAY!
I see so many of you are getting your sweat on...I've been reading all your comments today on the Facebook page: Tara did some strength training and cardio with her trainer, Chris went for a walk, Vanessa ran a 5k AND went hiking, and Lauren did interval aerobics. Impressive!
I am planning on going roller skating tonight. Not sure if I'll get my sweat on, but it will be more exercise than sitting on the couch at least. If I remember to take a pic, I will post it. Last night it was 85+ degrees at my Zumba class. Boy did we sweat.
Do you have a certain playlist of songs that you listen to when you workout? I am always looking for new songs, so please let me know either in the comments or on your own blog.
