We asked Radio Disney's Ernest "Ernie D" Martinez for a Fourth of July soundtrack the whole family could enjoy and he fired up his skills to mix up a hot set. He explains, "For a great Fourth of July music experience, we've created an up-tempo Summer Jam Playlist that celebrates independence and includes many of today’s biggest hits on Radio Disney as well as some 'Flashback Songs.'" Get everyone in your family to jam together this weekend by downloading these tunes and getting down.

Something about Summer makes me think of country music and wearing jean short-shorts. It could be due to my Texan upbringing or the fact that I recently watched the Footloose trailer. While you're toning your legs for the Fourth, let Trace Adkins, Eric Church, and Luke Bryan take you to a romanticized countryside, complete with bluebonnets, a warm breeze, and a hot cowboy (aka Dierks Bentley). You'll feel like a sharpshooter when listening to sassy songs by independent women like Ashton Shepherd, Miranda Lambert, and Taylor Swift. So y'all, the next time you're sporting them shorts, you'll hear the fellows saying, "Bow chicka wow wow."

We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Self here on FitSugar!

At long last (and after major hype), Britney Spears's Femme Fatale is out! Naturally, we took the pop princess's clubbiest album yet to the gym to find out what songs work during which parts of your workout.

"Till The World Ends"

It takes a solid minute for this Ke$ha-penned track to really get going, so use that time for some aerobic stretches to warm up your muscles. Try this: Stand with feet wider than hip-width apart, knees soft. Keeping hips stable, reach left arm overhead to right, and right arm across torso to left. Then reach right arm overhead to left, and left arm across to right. Next, bend forward from hips so torso is parallel to floor; repeat arm reaches. Then fold body completely forward and reach arms to front. Do sequence 20 times. To up your heart rate, add in jumping jacks or jump rope (you don't actually need a rope, just go through the motions!) for the next minute.

Keep reading to see the rest of the Britney Femme Fatale workout!
