I spend about five hours a day at work now, and since it's a holiday not many people come in to rent DVDs. As a result, I've had a lot of quality time with the Internet.
So, today I'm surfing "Fitness Magazine Online" for articles about how too much fruit can lead to a belly similar to the famed "beer belly"--I'm not kidding, I swear I've seen an article about this before--when I see a link for the "100 Best Workout Songs of All Time." I go clicky.
I'm shocked. Appalled, even. After all, on which of your workout mixes have you ever put "No Woman No Cry"? Even classic jock jams would make their way onto one of my mixes (and have) before Bob. Sorry, but he just doesn't pump me up.
I generally tend to use Girl Talk's Night Ripper or Feed the Animals as good basic gym albums with consistent energy, but I've also been working on putting together my own pump-worthy mixes for the gym.
Here's one from earlier this semester:
1. Cut Copy "Hearts on Fire"
2. Daft Punk "Robot Rock"
3. Estelle ft. Kanye West "American Boy"
4. Katy Perry "I Kissed a Girl"
5. Mount Sims "How We Do"
6. Muscles "Sweaty"
7. Royksopp "Eple"
8. Simian Mobile Disco "Sleep Deprivation"
9. The Fitness "Chauffeur"
10. Trans Am "I Want It All"
11. Vitalic "Poney Pt. 1"
12. Will Smith "Miami"
Obviously, there is NO SHAME where gym mixes are concerned. After all, it's just you and the music and whatever repetitive motion you happen to be committing your muscles to--why not the Fresh Prince?
I'm looking to put a new one together over break. Any suggestions?
