Workout tunes

Contrary to what this picture may suggest, I absolutely HATE working out. Even thinking about running just sent a horrific shiver down my spine. The only thing that helps me fight the desire to curl on my couch instead of running is music. I have a pretty decent running mix. As soon as I put headphones in, my shoulder starts moving to the music, then it’s both shoulders, and before you know it I’m ~~convulsing~~ dancing.

Here are a few of my favorite tunes that truly keep me going

Getting Over You - David Guetta

Baby When the Light - David Guetta

Funhouse - Pink

Raise Your Glass – Pink

Only Girl (In The World) - Rihanna

Womanizer - Brittney Spears

If I Had You – Adam Lambert

Telephone – Lady Gaga

and even

Eenie Meenie – Sean Kingston & Justin Bieber

Alright, alright… Don’t judge. Some of these are questionable, some of these are old. But they have been doing the job. Obviously, I need to update my running mix. I’m running a mini-marathon in a couple of weeks (I wasn’t myself when I signed up, I swear!) and, friends, I need your help.

Please, please, please throw out some suggestions. What gets your jiggly parts moving? What songs make you want to shake what your mama gave ya?

Actually there is so many songs in my “Move!” list but I tried to choose the best… Well, may be they are old or something but they force me to move anyway
The Miami Sound Machine – Conga

Michael Jackson – Black Or White
Jasper Forks – River Flows In You
Madonna – Jump
Dan Balan – Chica Bomb
Armin Van Buuren Feat. Sharon Den Adel – In And Out Of Love
Eurythmics – Sweet Dreams

Something good old: Lulu & The Luvvers – Shout, Jive Bunny – That’s What I Like
And finally my favourite David Guetta!!!
When Love Takes Over, Delirious, Tomorrow Can Wait, Love Don’t Let Me Go, Winner Of The Game
P.S. I’ll dare to suggest one more song… I know, I know the text is more than terrible but the rhythm makes me move no matter what! Don’t judge me, we russians usually don’t think about the meaning of english songs…:) Well, that is Bloodhound Gang – The Bad Touch

WOW, thanks girl! I really appreciate it. I’ll check these out… Even the last one. It will be my secret song and I will turn my English off when I listen to it:)

I’m not at all a sporty girl so I don’t run or anything… but there’re certainly some very energizing songs by Rihanna for instance, everything she’s been doing lately is very cool. Besides the song mentioned by you it’s ‘Rude Boy’ and ‘S&M’; and by all means Shakira! Her hymn to the World Cup or ‘Loca’
