So why am I a lazy personal trainer?


I LOVE WORKING OUT. I LOVE DONUTS. I LOVE RUNNING 5Ks. I LOVE LAZY TV NIGHTS WITH JFBs (SEE MY LINGO LIST).


CAN I POSSIBLY BE A HAPPY, HEALTHY PERSON WITH SUCH CONFLICTING PASSIONS?

I'm trying! Follow my quest to OVERCOME LAZY!

How I Overcame Lazy This Week: I Totally Rocked Out!

Music is powerful, magical and can be very motivating!  Lately it has often been a significant factor in enhancing my performance while running.  I know I've picked a good song for my play list when - despite my panting and wheezing - I still feel compelled to sing along out loud!

Often when I'm dragging my feet to even start my workout, I put on some good tunes and am suddenly inspired to change my clothes and get moving! 

I've said it before:  music that motivates is such a personal thing, but I thought I'd share a few songs that are working for me lately:
Angel of Harlem - U2
Beautiful Life - Ace of Base
Bust a Move - Young MC
Don't Stop the Music - Rihanna
Hung Up - Madonna
Kiss - Prince
Let My Love Open The Door - Pete Townsend
Love Drunk - Boys Like Girls
Love Shack - B52s
More Than A Feeling - Boston
Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO
Poison - Bel Biv Devoe
Safety Dance - Men Without Hats
Uprising - Muse
We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister
Wild Boys - Duran Duran
Your Love Is My Drug - Ke$ha
Quite the mix-up, I know, but I love all these for various reasons... some old stuff, some new. 

Whatever it is that gets you moving... put some good music on the next time you're dragging!

  1. I put my phone on random for my run today here is the list:
    Time to Say Goodbye - Sarah Brighton
    Edlewiess - Family Vontrap
    What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
    It's Impossible - Tony Bennett
    I finally caught a break & Stone Temple Pilots chimed in with
    Where the River Flows
    Straight back to Nora Jones - Don't Know Why.
    I started laughing & just enjoyed the soft tunes. Hilarious!

  2. I love it! Music is a big motivator for me, and I'm always looking for new music for my iPod. I see some that I don't have!
