So because of that, I grew up with a love for fitness. And to this day, I still have a motivation to stay in shape.
Even though, at times, it remains just that. A motivation...and not an action. *wry grin*
But now, as I stare my too-small wardrobe in the face I feel called to action. So this past Sunday I asked two friends to join me in making fitness goals and sticking with them. keeping each other accountable and revving up our competitive drives in knowing that someone else was out there doing what we "should" be.
So now I ask you... would you help? I'm in need of upbeat, fun workout-type songs that I can download off of itunes.
I had already asked Tracy (a blog-bud from NY) for some suggestions a while back...to which she directed me to Toby Mac. Got one song ("Ignition") and love it! Makes me workout harder. *thanks, Trac*
If you have a favorite workout song leave a comment (or send me an email if you so choose) telling me what songs you'd suggest. I don't have scads of time to go through the Itunes lists...so will you help a girl out and share your fav. upbeat song?
My sagging boot-ay and 20 extra pounds would so appreciate it.
