2 Songs of the Week: Raise Your Weapon & Ghosts N Stuff by Deadmaus

This music isn't usually what I love but for workouts they are awesome.  They are each over 6 minutes so it makes your 45 minute run seem shorter.  Ok, maybe that's just me!  Anyways they have few words so you can let your mind just focus on the task at hand....running (or walking or whatever it is you do).

Blackout by Breathe Carolina

This is definitely going on my next workout playlist and in my next spinning class routine.  They actually have several songs I love.

Song of the Week: We are Scientists

I randomly came across this song on my playlist the other day.  I have NO IDEA how it got on my iPod.  I love the song nonetheless.  Enjoy!

Song of the Week: Who Doesn't Love & Little Sun?

Stare Into The Sun by Graffiti6

I use this song for many things:  Working out, getting ready, cooking, cleaning my closet, a little motivation in the car before a meeting.  Enjoy!

Starting TOMORROW: 

The ABsolutely FABulous Challenge

Boot Camp Week: A Little Music To Pump You Up

Float On by Modest Mouse

Happy Sunday!

Enjoy this song on your playlist

Sweet Disposition by Temper Trap

This song has a great build.  Run on a hill at a steady pace and then pick it up as the music gets faster.  Just follow the flow of the music and I promise you'll feel better!!  There is also a remix version below that has a unique beat.  Either work just depends on your personal taste!

Also below is a suggestion from LaSophia recent winner of my musical madness giveaway.  Her taste in music is different from mine which I love!  Nothing better than exploring music from a group you've never heard before!

One of the picks from LaSophia:
