Playlists for working out

[Janpes]

Hello all

Hubby is at his rink bandy (like Ice Hockey) training, youngest daughter is at school as they have an activity day she is downhill skiing for 3 hours and middle daughter is laid up in bed after coming in at 3am and raiding the fridge. I decided to work out

So I have just done my final run of the couch25k run of my 2nd week I was feeling energized so I decided to stay on the treadmill for another 45 minutes (crazy I know, total time on treadmill 1h 15mins) but the music was just so inspiring and kept me going forward. I managed to do 6.5km and made my target by 112%, burnt also 587 Kcal in the process so yesterdays beer taken care of

I started going through my Ipod and came up with the following play list to keep me going. I know some of the songs are strange but they are what uplift me.

so bear with me

So if anyone has some inspirational music to add then let me know so I can give it a blast. Feel free to steal these songs and add them to your playlists.

Have a good one

That's great Janpes, whatever keeps you going

I, personally, never plug into music, preferring the sounds of nature, when I'm running, so haven't got anything to add to your list, but I'm sure you'll get an eclectic collection from other members

I love Mr Blue sky by ELO and beautiful day by Michael buble. They really perk me up. I like to throw xanadu (olivia newton john) on once in a while too! An odd choice but upbeat and cheerful!

[Janpes in reply to 2stoneup]

I am listening to Xanadu and forgot what a good song it is. Will add to my playlist as t is upbeat. Will Add the ELO song as I love that too

Michael Buble puts me to sleep haha

Oh we're making a family play list this week! We each have to choose 15 songs which will make up a 'climbing snowdon' play list - our easter adventure. I haven't started my list yet, but at the top is 'walking on sunshine'.
