Started back at the gym yesterday, there was a young girl my age on the treadmill, she was doing pretty amazing switching it up between high incline and a good run at about 5mph. I was feeling very competitive, which honestly is an awesome motivator and got in a really great workout of my own. 35 minutes brisk walk and run with a five minute cool down, stretched and called it a night. Tonight I think I'll do 30 minutes on the elliptical, some strength work and maybe floor. I'm tired and disinterested so we'll see how it goes...

For those who are working out -- do you rock out? Whatcha listening to?

Hope this post finds all well and happy~

I love stuff with a good, hard beat when I'm on the treadmill or elliptical. I don't mind what's on when I'm doing circuit training as long as it's not maudlin and/or depressing stuff.

When I'm doing my ab work, I like music with a steady beat, but it doesn't have to be upbeat or fast like I prefer on the treadmill/elliptical.

Examples of artists that I listen to on the treadmill or elliptical are: David Guetta, Britney, Lil Jon, Pitbull, Disturbed, LMFAO, Missy Elliott.
