Jam it Out! 5 Favorite Workout Songs

Happy August....the month where I begin to get sad about going back to work in another month!  No really though this is going to be a great month!!  As I posted yesterday, I'm taking part in Janice's August Blogger Challenge and today's fabulous topic is "Your Top 5 Workout Songs".  Now this is a touchy topic for me since my ipod playlist makes me look a little schizophrenic...like a folk singer who really wants to be Pitbull!  My playlists usually start off with slower music in order to keep me at a steady pace...then its on like Donkey Kong!  So without further adieu....here are my top 5...for this month at least!

1.  "Strong Enough" by Mathew West....This is the style of my first song usually for a long run or long race....helps me to start with the mindset of who is really in control!

2.  "The Champ" by Nelly...Oh yeah I'm the champ!

3.  "Hello Good Morning" by Diddy....It's like Diddy is saying good morning to me!  Sometimes I answer!

4.  "Crazy" by Pitbull....ok who am I kidding...it's more like ANYTHING by him!!  

5.  "Ni**as in Paris" by Kanye West and Jay-Z....if you tell my students that this is on the list I am going to deny it completely! 

My playlists are also known to include a number of Glee numbers as well as some power girl anthems mixed in there too!  I told you....it's random!

Now it's your turn.....

What are your top 5 workout songs??

August Blogger Challenge

Goood morning!!  This is Em and I's last week of our RI vacation and I think that we are trying to fit everything in in one week!  Yesterday we went to the Roger Williams Zoo with my sister and cousin....a great zoo if you are in the Providence area!! 

The rest of the week we have beach trips (day and night), photo shoots (did I mention my sister is an amazing photographer?), trampolene time, and maybe even an IKEA run!  Then Em and I are headed back to Cape Cod to settle into our new house with the hubs!

I've heard a lot around the blogging world about vacations, and summer fun, and being stuck with ideas to write about.  I have been feeling this way a little and was so excited when I saw that the awesome Janice over at Fitness Cheerleader was having an August Healthy Living/Fitness Blogger Challenge!

Janice has set a topic to write about for every day in August.  You write a post, link it to her comments, and get to meet/know more about bloggers all around!    Want to join in on the fun?  Head on over to Fitness Cheerleader and see!!  Tomorrow starts the fun!
