Anyways Cooper said elbow yesterday, so cute. EL-bow, he was so confused it kept calling it Enzo and looking at me all puzzled. They grow so fast! Two weeks ago he could barley say enzo, and nose, now he is saying elbow and cheese, and stawbeyy (strawberry). So cute.

(sorry about it not being so clean, it didn't seem to like my chart, so I had to post it individually)
All pump it up songs are in BOLD and inspirational are in ITALIC.
My playlist is much longer than this, because I tend to keep going when I'm feeling it. (When I say going I tend to keep walking after 45 minutes of jog/walk) And I'm always feeling it even if I'm just listening to the radio. BUT I love music! If I don't have good music though I tend to lose my motivation to run. I also tend to change the songs up every week. SO....I have to have a basic pattern.
Start out with something inspirational, that really gets you feeling good about yourself. SET THE STAGE FOR SUCCESS! If you are feeling good, your workout will go good. I make sure I feel good about my muscles and myself before I start jogging which can take anywhere from 5-10 minutes.

Did you know that extremely fast tempo, and/or hard rock music makes your heart rate increase? Which is great but not when you are trying to teach your body to run longer. Stick with medium tempo songs for the majority of your workout/run.
Then I like to have "pump it up songs" about every 7-12 minutes. (highlighted in bold) This keeps you going, even when you are exhausted! I like to use trance most of all! WHY? It has this great way of keeping you calm. The underlying beat of trance tends be slow with a faster melody on top giving you the feeling of being in a trance. Basically it pumps you up while keeping your heart rate from flying off the charts. If you haven't run and/or done a workout with trance before I recommend trying it and see how you feel about it. Don't know any good trance? Ask me and I would love to share a post with you all.
Finally I like to end on a good note! I pick a few dance songs that I like and then a motivational song that makes me feel good about my accomplishment. That way when its time to go run again I will remember how well my last workout went. SET THE STAGE FOR SUCCESS AGAIN! Isn't it the ultimate goal to look forward to working out? This definitely helps me reach that goal time and time again.
What music do you use during your workouts?
Any good song choices? my favorite workout songs are obviously trance/techno
Do you like to use inspirational songs during your workout? mandisa's Victorious always makes me feel so victorious at the end of workout and focuses my life back on God
How do you set the stage for success?
