Last week I was re-reading a recent post I wrote about my bad attitude when it comes to any form of exercise ever since I got pregnant with Lil W. When I finished reading I came to the conclusion that ‘enough is enough‘. I need to get off my bum and break a sweat, no more excuses!
Before I pound the pavement, there are a few goodies I must have with me:
#1: A loose t-shirt
There is no one who needs to see me in a tight shirt {while running, nonetheless} post baby. It just wouldn’t be pretty, hence the lose shirt must have.
#2: My super nifty jogging stroller
#4 and 5: My Nike iPod Chip and Compatible Shoes
Here’s the thing though…I absolutely cannot exercise unless I am listening to some awesome {pump-up} music–you know, the kind of music that pushes you to do one more lap or to kick up your speed.
And, between my overplayed Glee Soundtrack and my outdated iTunes library, I have been trapped in baby world listening to Singing Elmo, Baby Einstein and Lullaby songs–I have no idea what should be on my stellar Running Play List.
And that’s where {you} come in!
What music do you run, spin, kick box, yoga, Pilates, cycle to???
What can you “not live without” when you are burning those calories?
Leave me a comment with the songs you think I should put on my playlist, pretty please {with a cherry on top}.
If you don’t post your favorite songs, it’s very likely I will continue to find another excuse to post-pone that run for tomorrow {no pressure or anything}.

Oh gurl do I have a list for you…so here it goes:

Down by Jay Sean
Do You Remember by Jay Sean
I Gotta Feeling- Black Eyed Peas

I tend to like rock when I am working out like Seether, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, etc.

Black Betty by Ram Jam is my all time favorite get-up-and-get-moving song. Plus it makes me think of Johnny Depp in the movie Blow which helps!

Having the right playlist is so important! Now this is a sort of intense suggestion, but it works so well. You can actually get songs whose beat will match how fast you want to run. Check out this site http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/sundquist.html which matches what "minute mile" you want to run or walk with the steps per minute. Then Google an online "BPM" (Beats Per Minute) calculator to check the BPMs of your songs. Or just google for songs within that BPM range.
For me, my perfect pace goes to Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around (Comes Around)", its about 155 BPM I think. I'm telling you, having your foot hit pavement on every beat in a song keeps me out there so much longer than I would otherwise.
Also, Glee songs are great to run to. As are musical songs in general (Rent, Wicked, Mamma Mia, Legally Blonde) because they make you focus on the story rather than the pain of running, and the songs are often longer than normal ones!
Sorry this was so long! But this subject is something I have thought about a lot! 🙂

Have you tried any Muse tunes? They have some fun things that get you moving, too.

A Little Less Conversation remix by Elvis Presley. You must move when you hear it. You can't help it 🙂

I like to listen to Avenue Q and other musicals while I'm running. Musicals are fun, high-energy, and they tell me a story while I'm sweating and huffing and puffing and realizing I'm not in the shape I used to be. Good luck! I know it's hard to get started once you've been out of the exercise loop for awhile.
