So, I went for my annual physical last week and my doctor was THRILLED with my progress over the last 12 months. My gluten free diet has KILLED all of my Celiac symptoms, my exercise routine has melted off a few pounds, boosted my energy and helped me sleep better at night. I’m here to tell you that diet and exercise have REALLY made a difference in my well-being!
Enough about me, I want to talk about your favorite workout music. I love my gym (UFC) but I seldom recognize any of the songs they play during my workouts. Jose got all excited last week and turned up the volume because he liked the “Snoop Dog” tune that was playing. As for me, I’m a country or contemporary Christian music kinda girl but I don’t think either genre would go over well in the gym. I do like 80’s music and have cracked up when Funky Cold Medina and Will Smith are blasted over the gym speakers. I’m wondering how much more I’d enjoy working out if I were able to listen to music I enjoy. UFC Gym Owner, Eric Williams, sent out a note to all the gym members asking for music play list suggestions. Can you help me by letting me know a few songs that you like to exercise to? I’d like to pass the ideas along to Eric!
Hey Audra,
Music is very important for working out. For me I think its in the rhythm and beat. I am also a girl from the eighties, but my songs span many decades! Of course I wouldn’t want to offend anyone with my selections. Its about the music, not the lyrics. Hopefully some of these will work for you or remind you of some others!
