Group Project: Top Tunes -- Workout

Sometimes this blog will feature the "spotlight goddess". Other times I'll need to call on the masses. I like to call these "Group Projects".

For our first Group Project, I surveyed some of my Workout Goddess friends who are hardcore when it comes to a fitness routine. Their assignment: to give me the top three songs on their ipods when it comes to working up a sweat.

Most had a hard time stopping at three. So scan the list, see if you have any of the same favorites, or if there are some new tunes you want to try during your next trip to the gym or the trails...

My current top 3:

1. "Life in Technicolor II" by Coldplay

2. "Rain in the Summertime" by The Alarm

3. "Jai Ho" from the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack

For the rest of the list my thanks to Mary, Wendy, Ashley, Meggen, Megan, Jillon and Sue
