We've said good-bye to 2008, and have welcomed in the New Year. If you are like the majority of people who make resolutions, losing weight or beginning an exercise program is high on your list. But how do you plan to stay motivated on the path to a healthier you? We're sure that music plays a part in your fitness routine, so we want you to share the kick-butt tunes that inspire you to keep going.
For instance, when I decided to give jogging a try, I was at a point where I was close to home, exhausted, and ready to quit. Walking was how I was going to finish, proud that I'd gotten as far as I had, but not happy that I was a 'quitter' in my own mind. And then, that song came on my IPod. It started slow, but then sped up, motivating me to speed up as well. Walking... I think not! Fat Boy Slim's song with changing tempo inspired me to run, to round that last curve to the home stretch as a winner!
So, dear Studio Fitness fan, we want to hear from you. What song encourages you to stick with your exercise routine and why? Inspire others, and you have the chance to win an itunes gift card so you can load up that mp3 player and attain your fitness goal!
In the comments section below, enter the name and artist of the tune that most motivates you to keep moving, and more importantly, why. Studio Fitness instructors are not eligible; all entries due by January 20th at 11:59 p.m.
