Workout Wednesday...Playlist Style!

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.

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.

Here are my current favorite workout songs (in no particular order):
  • Don't Let Me Down (Swing) by Zumba Fitness
  • Brass Monkey by The Beastie Boys
  • Run the World (Girls) by Beyonce
  • The Sound of Sunshine by Michael Franti & Spearhead
  • It's in His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song) by Vonda Shepard
  • Girls on the Dance Floor by Far East Movement
  • Sweat (A La La La La Long) by Inner Circle
  • We Speak No Americano by Yoland Be Cool & DCup
  • Evacuate the Dance Floor by Cascada
  • Gimmie Gimmie by Beanie Man
  • Boom Boom by Kumbia Kings
