I like music when I workout. One thing I’ve tried is making a mix that alternates cadence so one song is good for walking and the next is better for running. This way I not only get to listen to some of my favorite tunes but it gives me a beat to keep my feet moving to (and I’m not so concerned about how much farther I have to go).
Here’s one of mine, it’s about 40 minutes total.
Warm-up: Upside Down by Jack Johnson (Curious George soundtrack) (3:28)
Walking: Viva La Vida by Coldplay (4:01)
Jogging: Amsterdam by Guster (3:37)
Walking: Hello Seattle by Owl City (2:47)
Jogging: Bulletproof by La Roux (3:25) (Turn around point)
Walking: Two at a Time by Guster (4:57)
Jogging: Walk you Home by Passenger (3:40)
Walking: Stole My Heart by Little & Ashley (3:13)
Jogging: In For The Kill by La Roux (4:08)
Walking: People Watching by Jack Johnson (Curious George soundtrack)(3:19)
Cool-off: Better Together by Jack Johnson (3:27)
What’s your mix and how do you move to it?
I need to get my Play list all in order... but here are a few of my fav's:
ReplyDeleteViva La Vida- Cold Play (good warm up or cool down song)
I gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas
Forever - Chris Brown
Telephone - It's a re-make by Pomplamoose (check them out on You tube!)
Down - Jay Sean (I don't know any of his other music, I just liked it when I did Spinning)
Mad World - Michael Andrews - a great cool down song!
Carol E. I'm using Walk at Home CD's with Leslie Sansone and Richard Simmons "Sweatin with the Oldies" That one is really fun because of the music and dancing movements.
