With all of the amazing technology today, there is absolutely no excuse to ever get bored of your workout music.   I look back to my high school & college days when I had a yellow Sony Sport Walkman.  I would get so frustrated having to change AA batteries and got so sick of my homemade mix tapes (yes, plastic cassettes) which would skip if I didn’t hold the lid on right.   And as much as I loved Salt -N- Pepa, listening to the same old songs after just a few days got boring.

Today, with MP3 players, ipods, smartphones and iPhones (my fav) your music will never get stale.  I just stumbled across Ultimate Summer Workout Playlist Slideshow |on LIVESTRONG.COM.   At the top of the list is my recent favorite, “Somebody that I used to Know” by Gotye.  This funky song can always get your mind wandering.

But no matter how many fun songs I download, I find Pandora to be my favorite music app and it’s FREE.  You just type in one tune or genre you like and similar songs will automatically come up.  Go ahead try it- type in Black Eyed Peas, Will Smith or Jennifer Lopez.  And if you don’t like a tune that comes on, simply give it a thumbs down so it won’t play again.

I also use Pandora with my kids to get them moving and put on fun music in the kitchen while we make dinner!

This afternoon, we’ll be listening to Pandora for some fun beach tunes.
