Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,
Whilst on Pandora listening to some jams, an ad popped up on my sidebar for G Fit Radio. All you do is drag and drop the stage of your work out and the intensity of it into their little boxes and boom, you've got yourself a customized radio station! I imagine this would work best for those of y'all with smart phones or some internet device next to your cardio machine.
Pandora is a free service with limited commercial interruption. All you do is sign up and enjoy.
In health,
Lauren

172/365 Give Your Intervals a Tune Up
Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,
Music is a fun way to interval train. Make a playlist of your favorite songs to work out to. If the song goes slow on one part and fast on others, turn it into an interval. You can run for the slow parts then sprint for the fast ones. You could add an incline on the refrain. It's like Fartlek training to Fergie. For example, let's use this awesome hit by the Black Eyed Peas called "The Time (Dirty Bit)."
You could run when the guys are rapping, walk when Fergie sings, then sprint when the awesome no-lyrics part plays. It's just an idea and something you could easily figure out with your favorite tunes. It's a fun way to pass the time. After 5 songs you're already at 20 minutes! 6 songs and you're done. I've seen this done in spinning classes as well.

171/365 Work Your Jelly with New Jams, A Blog for You
Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,
Music is evocative. It gets us pumped, it chills us out, music sets the tone for our mood. Like myself, I'm sure you enjoy some good jams to work out to. Enter my friend Sevan's blog.
Sevan is a music maven; her specialties are dance and indie music. Check out her blog for some new sounds to psych you up for the gym, for a walk, or for an impromptu dance party and a laugh, she's a riot.
Right now my favorite songs:
Music is a way to keep you moving and motivated through your workout.
