Motivation
Even if you've been working out for a while, you still often need a little help to keep you going. Today, we'll talk about music since nothing motivates you through a good sweaty workout than your favorite tunes. Since I grew up in the 70's and 80's, I'm a big fan of disco and popular music from the 80's. At any given time, I could have an old B-52's CD in the walkman or, if I'm feeling more modern, a little No Doubt. What's you're favorite music? Hit the nearest music store nearby today and pick up something that will help keep you motivated. If you want exercise music, check out these links for where to buy music mixed specifically for exercise. Don't forget--leave the headphones at home if you're jogging or walking outside so you can stay alert to what's going on around you.
