Walk It Out

So this whole walking thing is really working good for me! I have walked every day since I started this journey...normally I walk in the morning and my route takes me about an hour. Today, I had things to do this AM, so I am going to walk tonight after physical therapy.

I think the thing that keeps me wanting to walk is the fact that I have been really good about keeping a fresh playlist on my iPod for the sole purpose of walking to it. Hearing music that I'm currently into, and music that pumps me up and is up-beat really makes me want to walk...I just want to listen to it!!

So here is my current playlist:

• Hey Jealousy...Gin Blossoms
• Allison Road... Gin Blossoms
• Body Language...Heidi Montag ( I know...corny!!...but it has a good beat...)
• Whatcha Say...Jason DeRulo
• Down...Jay Sean feat. Lil Wayne
• Wanted...Jesse James
• Party in the U.S.A....Miley Cyrus
• Happy...Natasha Beddingfield
• Follow You Down...Gin Blossoms
• War...Sean Kingston
• She Wolf...Shakira
• All I Want to Do...Sugarland
• She's So High...Tal Bachman
• Sweet Dreams...Beyonce
• Overprotected (DarkChild Remix)...Britney Spears
• Show Stopper...Danity Kane
• Break the Ice...Britney Spears
• What Is Love...Xenon
• Jump...Flo Rida feat. Nelly Furtado
• Crazy for This Girl...Evan & Jaron
• Flavor of the Week...American Hi Fi
• Manos al Aire...Nelly Furtado
• Love Drunk...Boys Like Girls
• Face Drop...Sean Kingston

It's a little bit of a long playlist, BUT, that way I can skip around if I don't feel like listening to something. All I do is hit shuffle on the iPod and I'm good to go.

I also love using Genius on my iPod Touch and iTunes. It creates playlists from the music in my library, based on one song that I choose. Sometimes I forget what good music I have in there! And the iTunes store makes some pretty killer suggestions if you need a little help.

So if you're needing a little extra motivation to get yourself moving, turn to your music. It might be the answer you're looking for!
