My Jogging Mix

Thanks so much to everyone who shared their favorite exercise songs. I took my new list out jogging/speed walking last night and found them to be super satisfactory. Here's my picks!

Clumsy by Fergie
Defying Gravity from Wicked
Get Ready by The Proclaimers

Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani
I Don't Wanna Be In Love by Good Charlotte
I Want You To Want Me by Cheap Trick
Land of 1000 Dances by Wilson Pickett
Love Today by Mika
Make That Money Robi Rob's Clubworld
Pump Up The Jam by Technotronic
Suddenly I See KT Tunstall
The Power by Snap!
Whiney Whiney by Willi One Blood
You Sexy Thing by Deee-Lite


So, what do you think? An interesting mix, I know. But, as you have learned I love almost ALL kinds of music. And the words inside of the music have some serious power over us. Which is why I chose 'You Sexy Thing'. :0) Maybe it will give me that motivation I need to get my sexy on. :0)

Pump Up The Jam

Do you remember that song?

OK, ladies....and Cameron {tee hee}, I went jogging FOR REAL a couple of nights ago.

{Yes, I missed yesterday because my thighs were so sore from my first adventure out that there was no way I was going to live through a double header. I'll give it another go tonight. :0) }

Oh, wait, first I have to explain that my STUPID iPod died this last weekend. Best Buy will not take it back and replace it for me. I have to contact the manufacturer. And since I'm not ready to deal with the annoying "hold" music, I haven't called in to let them know my problems. :0)

{I wonder if since I was on hold for so long they'll take care of some of my other problems too...just a thought.}

So, I grab the hubby's iPod he uses when he jogs and run out the door. I turn it on to the first song and get Avril Lavigne "Girlfriend" {you're singing it in your head now aren't you?} and am pleased with the beat of this song. It's peppy, and a good tempo for me to jog along with. I am doing pretty good. That song lasts exactly 3 minutes and 37 seconds. When that song ended....I was left with Depeche Mode and Def Leppard.

His jogging music sucks.

So, as I was thinking this over {and deciding if I should totally take over his iPod until I get mine fixed} and wondered what songs to add to his "mix".

So, I'm taking a poll here. What are your favorite exercise songs. Do you have a workout mix you use that gets you pumped? If so, spill the beans! I have a huge music library, but what makes a great workout song? After the other night I realize my sappy little songs aren't going to cut it. I need a great beat, and something spunky!

I'm impatiently waiting for your ideas so that I can take over {I mean, borrow} Jaysen's iPod again for this evenings attempt at jogging.
