I discovered that I can move to Scottish music. The NPR show "Thistle and Shamrock" was playing on the radio when I discovered I needed to add some steps on my peodometer. I stood up and started moving and when the hour show was over I was amazed to find over 5000 steps had magically registered. Now I plan for it.

Love this site. Thanks for sharing. I find that working out to just 3 favorite songs is around 10 minutes.

I personally love and need dubstep, drum & bass, house, and electro to enjoy my workouts. I love it so much I hope to obtain a career that involves music and fitness. I blog about how I eat, breathe, and live music & fitness at DubStepFitness.com if anyone wants to check it out.

My husband told me aobut Pandora, and I let it play when I am working on cleaning. I linked him to my station, so when I am working in the kitchen, I can pull his account up on the TV and listen to my station. Works great.

Challenge yourself
challenge your self to double your cardio or weights, if you walk 2.5 miles see if you can double that or walk to your entire workout music on IPOD
Recently I figured out a great way to use SP and still get my exercise on. I put my computer on my dresser and play tunes. I dance during the fast songs and stretch during the slow. My dresser is the perfect height for me to still type/ use my mouse and dance. Pandora radio is a great site that allows you to create stations that play what you like. You can also search for free online work out music via google. Let's get up and get moving. Who says computer time has to be stationary?334
