The right songs make all the difference Jen. One day I out walked myself and if I hadn't had the Black eyed peas I probably would have had beg a ride home!! : )

That's a great list we put together! I have to check my MP3 and find that instrumental. I think I downloaded it from Amazon. Its really a "mover" and I use it when I do my shadow boxing.
Stay healthy and keep it movin : )

I may have already posted on this board before, but my absolute fav right now is "Where Have You Been?" by Rihanna. It has this trance-like quality to it that I can totally get into especially in the middle of my run. The beat is perfect for my cadence also. Love it!

On my mp3 player I like to put on slow paced and faster paced songs. this way I get a better work out with out too much heavy breathing only by getting my excercise in The fast paced I dance faster the slower paced Is still dancing but at a slower rate, hey it is all about moderation

so the song to get me motivated is by Katy Perry: teenaged dream, because it reminds me of my weight as a teenager , so much smaller
