I’m one of those people who has to listen to music while working out. My intensity can be dependent on the jam playing through my head phones. A snappy, upbeat song can help push me over that hill (or not). And the perfect cool down song gives loads of satisfaction…”yes you made it to the end of your sweat session.” If you are anything like me, you ever have that ONE song that you always turn to when you are working your arms or flip to when you are ready to focus on your stomach? I’ll admit that I am still a sucker for “Toxic” to get me into the gym groove.
Music Monday is adding some versatility to your playlist and your workout by pairing a song from the top charts with a workout that fits the beat. It is a win-win: More songs to add to your playlist. More exercises to add to your workout routines.
Do you guys ever feel like busting a move when the trailer to For a Good Time, Call… comes on? Or maybe that is just me. I don’t even know if it looks like that good of a movie, but I want to see it just because I love the M.I.A. song Bad Girls.
The sassy songstress Maya Arulpragasam (better known by her stage name M.I.A) brings elements of hip hop, electronic and alternative beats into her music. The eclectic sound has been praised by some although the bad girl British rapper is getting some questions on the true meaning to the song and video. She is no stranger to controversy.
All debating and questioning aside, the song just gets me pumped….to pump some iron. Soon that arm flab will be M.I.A.
