P.L.O.W. — Celebrate Earth and Exercise Outside
Although April 22 was Earth Day, every day is the perfect day to celebrate the beauty and expansiveness of Mother Nature. So this weekend, instead of hitting the gym or hopping on your treadmill, enjoy an outdoor workout that requires no electricity. Get on your bike, slip on your sneaks for a trail run, or go for a walk on the beach.
P.L.O.W. — Invigorating Yoga Flow
Just like all types of exercise, I do yoga to relieve stress, clear my mind, burn calories, and strengthen my body. So when I'm on the mat, I'm doing challenging moves like holding Fierce for 10 breaths or balancing in Scissor Legs Side Crow. I prefer sequences that flow through poses quickly and target every muscle, so I need my music to keep up with me.
P.L.O.W. — A Tribute to Bon Jovi
I have been a big fan of Bon Jovi for a long time now, and when I watched this creative rendition of Livin' on a Prayer on GiggleSugar my fandom was definitely rekindled. That song definitely tops on my list of songs musical workout inspiration. Come to think of it, there are tons of Bon Jovi songs that inspire me to move.
P.L.O.W. — Heart Pumping Love Songs For Cardio
Most love songs are soft and sweet, but when it comes to cardio I need a beat to keep me going. In honor of Valentine's Day I made a lovely playlist of love songs that are a little more rocking and ready to keep you pumped up during cardio. Why not exercise your heart today, before celebrating this day dedicated to hearts?
P.L.O.W. — 2008 Rocked
The year 2008 may be gone, but it is not forgotten. The year offered up some great workout tunes. Aside from exercising to dance grooves, I like to run to songs that are a little more on the rock side of things.
