I'm one of those people who likes to listen to music when I exercise. Sometimes I prefer that to a buddy (sorry, Hubby). It helps me set a pace, get to the place where I can see through my "third eye" to focus, improves my mood, and in ideal situations lets me bellow along or hum. I sometimes prefer different songs for walking outside versus on the treadmill, and different ones for elliptical vs bike.
I've put a few of my old standbys at the top of my
playlist on here. I admit I heard the first 2 at the gym; I'm not very good at finding newer music. They are:
- I kissed a girl.-Katy Perry (just like the beat!)
- Clumsy Fergie (makes me want to move my shoulder)
- Diamond Road--Sheryl Crow (I hum along with the chorus)
- Bring It Down to Jelly Roll--John Fogerty (It makes me want to punch my arms in time)
Would you please share with me the names and artists of your favorite exercise tunes? Don't worry about whether or not they seem like the kind of thing I'd like. . . you never know!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all the songs! I added all the ones I could find to my playlist so others can hear them too if they want to.
ReplyDeleteI moved the playlist up from below--see it on the right. You can just scroll to the song you want to hear and click. (Uf you listed it and it's not on my list, it's because I couldn't find it--not an editorial comment!)
Tisha--on first hearing them, I like Stupid Girl, Can't Get You Outta My Head, and Who Knew the best. I'll be giving the others a try.
Rene--
I think your Jersey Girl is showing! ;) Thank god for You Gotta Be because I didn't know I knew it, but I did. (I am so out of touch). At least I had heard of Kelly Clarkson so I must not be completely covered by dirt. And I like Coldplay introduced to me by Saving Grace, so I'll be interested in these songs.
Thanks again, guys!
I LOVE Fogarty! I've got him on my ipod, too :)
ReplyDeleteThe three songs I've kept on my ipod since I started exercising (well, almost that long) are:
Pump It - Black Eyed Peas
Pump It Up - Elvis Costello
Pearl Necklace - ZZ Top
Songs come and go, but those three are my favorites for getting me going.
Thanks, Lynn! I think the 2 Pump songs will be keepers for sure! Have to give Pearl Necklace a try.
