Get It Up, Your Heart Rate, That Is: Elliptical Speed Play

Three fitness games were released for the Wii this last week and even though it's not like doing the real deal outside, the games are a fun way to burn calories and whip your bod into shape.

Nothing gets your heart rate up like dancing a jig. The Irish definitely have that down. While this play list contains no songs from Lord of the Dance, it is chock full of fun Irish music to move to.
