Gangsta Rap and Thigh Fat Clap.

Hello again! This is a slightly odd post title and a very bad image of my thighs, but I like the way it sounded. Deal with it.

While at the gym the other day I thought about how awesome my workout music is soooo awesoommee. I am so very happy that my gym is usually abandoned when I'm there. This allows me to, occasionally, bust out a lyric or two while on the elliptical. I'm probably one of those "crazy chicks" that are ungracefully dancing/running/lip syncing while working-out that you point and laugh at while at the gym, but too bad, I'm there and it is MY time to take care of me.

 I realize music is very personal, but mine is great, and you should like it and listen to it all the time I am definitely kidding here. Below I will share some of the songs that get me moving and keep me moving through the times that I want to quit! Follow the links to the YouTube Videos. Warning: Mom, you're not going to like a vast majority of these songs. There's swearing and stuff.

Yes, I still listen to music I listened to in high school. It brings me back to times of energy, fun and I like being able to sing along most of the time in my head to the tunes coming from my iPod. A good majority of my iPod consists of late 90's Pop, Oldies, and hip hop and rap that was 'cool' back in the day it was 'cool' to be all gangsta.

So, next time you hit the gym, bust out your favourite songs that bring back awesome memories-- it makes the journey more fun!
