P.L.O.W. - It's All About the Family

FitSugar — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 03:00:00 -0800

Since most of us are preparing to spend Thanksgiving with our families, I'm sure you're getting excited. I can't wait to see relatives I haven't seen in a while, and, of course, to eat all the yummy traditional dishes we've all grown to love.

You still have a few days until the holiday, and if you're feeling overly excited or stressed out, exercising always helps. Since you're probably already thinking about your relatives, check out this play list that includes songs about all the people in your family.

Bonus P.L.O.W - Reese Witherspoon's Play List

FitSugar — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 03:00:00 -0700

We've been seeing Reese Witherspoon working out these days. Like any other exerciser, Reese uses music for motivation. Glamour.com got the scoop on her favorite songs to workout to.

“Soak Up the Sun,” by Sheryl Crow
“Buttons,” by The Pussycat Dolls
“Walk On,” by U2
“Sweet Home Alabama,” by B.A.M.A.
“Stop This Train,” by John Mayer (for stretching and cool-down)

I'm sure that along with motivation Reese uses music as a distraction from the gang of paparazzi constantly on her tail, but you can steal a few off her list for a distraction from your own hassles of the day.

We feel comfortable enough to cry with them one minute, and laugh with them the next. They inspire us to be strong women, and their love and support is what makes it happen.

This play list is for all the wonderful mothers in our lives - we wouldn't be here if it weren't for them. To hear it, press the white arrow after you read more
