I love music! I think you can do anything better with music. Well, with the exception of studying, which I’ve admittedly tried many times. Music helps me clean my house better, blow dry my hair faster (seriously) and is a great way to relieve stress (especially singing at the top of my lungs while driving down the highway when nobody can hear…don’t laugh, you know you’ve done it too).
But there’s one thing in particular that I absolutely CAN NOT do without music, and that’s cardio. I’ve been know to go into a mild panic when my iPod battery dies mid run. I stand there in the middle of the street wondering how on earth I’m going to finish without my tunes.
So in honor of cardio-doing music lovers everywhere, I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite workout songs (some old and some new) to get you moving…
“Mr. Brightside” – The Killers (the remix is great too!)
“It’s Raining Men” – Weather Girls
“Hey Ya” – Outkast
“Rio” – Duran Duran
“Stronger” – Kanye West
“Maniac” – Michael Sembello
“Don’t Stop the Music” – Rihanna
“Summer of 69” – Bryan Adams
“A Little Less Conversation” – Elvis
“Love Generation” – Bob Sinclair
“Any Way You Want It” – Journey
“Call on Me” – Eric Prydz
“Walking On Sunshine” – Katrina & the Waves
“Loco” – Fun Lovin’ Criminals
“Karma Chameleon” – Culture Club
What are some of your favorites? I’d love to know!
