"Get Off My Bum" iPod Playlist Needed

"Get Off My Bum" iPod Playlist Needed

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.  

{Is it counter-productive to wear this shirt while working out?}

#2: My super nifty jogging stroller

#3: My Little Man to keep me company in his

favorite nifty stroller

BTW: I had no idea how exhausting it was to run

while pushing a stroller--phew!

#4 and 5: My Nike iPod Chip and Compatible Shoes

This contraption is amazing {and cheap}! A little chip fits in my shoe and then I plug a receiver into my iPod. Then my iPod tracks my distance, speed, route, estimated calories burned, etc--all the while playing awesome tunes that keep me going {without having to wear a bulky heart rate monitor}.

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And, between my overplayed Glee Soundtrack and my outdated iTunes library, I have been trapped in baby world listening to Singing Elmo, Baby Einstein and Lullaby songs--I have no idea what should be on my stellar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}.
