Great Songs for a Workout Playlist

My flight home from San Jose on Monday flew by, in more than the literal sense. I don’t know if it was because I was so ready to come home, or because I plugged myself into my old Workout Playlist on the mp3 and bounced my head and tapped my toes to the confusion of other first class passengers, but the 3hrs and 58minutes went by so quickly.

It got me to thinking that (a) I’m glad I dusted off the mp3 and brought it, (b) now I need to dust off my tennis shoes and get back to working out, and (c) maybe now that the Spring-ish weather is here, others are looking for good workout tunes themselves.

I think I’ve posted about my workout playlist before, but not with these nifty audio clips to help you pick what might work for you, too.  A few of the songs might not seem to fit – “If I Had $1,000,000″ for instance doesn’t have a particularly fast tempo – but I also like to include songs that either make me smile or feel lighter in addition to the songs that make me want to kick the elliptical’s hiney.  So have a listen, and come back and thank me if you burn a few extra calories by using one of the songs!
