Shouldnt be much of a generation gap, i'm mid 40ish ( but my daughter is in elementary school so a lot of my mom friends are younger) And i'm not picky about the era of the music, i just want music that motivates me to push myself when i work out.. Just remember, if you can't be young, you can always be immature, ; ) I appreciate the suggestions on where to find new songs! Outside playing.. Just watched top gun for the first time in years.. Danger zone has been stuck in my head. Thanks for the other songs, i added some to my list. Mitch desj - easy to cut and paste one of my playlists: hope you find more that you like.. Thanks for the ideas, gsciencechick! Note: some of these songs have impolite language. Quite. Are you gonna be my girl - jet Aint no rest for the wicked - cage the elephant That's not my name - the ting-tings Bohemian like you -- dandy warhols (funny and catchy) Cobrastyle -- teddybears Uncontrollable urge -- devo Safety dance - men without hats Safety dance - asteroid galaxy tour Fire woman - the cult Radioactive - imagine dragons Tick tick boom - the hives Flower - moby Paradise City - guns n roses Fell in love with a girl - white stripes Real wild child - iggy pop I love it -- icona pop 10:10 -- the beautiful girls Beat my guest -- adam and the ants Rumble - link wray And cooldown cardio songs, a little more chill.. Rivers of babylon -- sublime Mysterious ways -- u2 Denial twist -- white stripes Soul singing -- black crowes Wagon wheel -- old crow medicine show Cape cod kwassa kwassa -- vampire weekend El paso -- the gourds Fidelity - regina spektor Santeria - sublime

I have been through cardio rehab twice with my husband and you wouldn't believe how little exercise you need for your heart. They recommended he walk a mile or 1 1/2 mile in 20 minutes 3 or 4 times a week. That is not even running. A new study just came out in our local paper and and it said a walker gets more benefit from walking than runners get. It seems if you do heavy exercise on a schedule you body finds a way to protect itself and you don't get the benefits you think you are. I am assuming it is like going on a strict diet. Your body goes into a starvation mode and doesn't burn the calories you normally would.

We don't have a snow blower, but use a tractor and blade to clear around our home. It has not been used yet this season. At our business, our son has a track hoe with a blade. He cleared our parking lot today and as he was going around back to put it up, it started going in circles and he could not stop it. I guess a hydrolic hose broke and it is going to have to sit where it is to be fixed before it can be moved! Our daughter, Terri's furnace has gone out and they are waiting on the repairmen. Amber and Mike's furnace went out and they haven't gotten it fixed yet. That's life, always something to keep it interesting. If it gets up to 20, I might take Izzi out for a walk in the snow for a bit. I used to go out everyday, rain or snow or whatever, but don't get to do that much anymore. Everyone keep safe and enjoy your day. Sue

I won't even admit how many exercise DVDs I've tried. My very favorite is Karen Voigt and, in fact, I just bought her Ballet BodySculpt DVD http://www.amazon.com/Ballet-BodySculpt-Karen-Voight/dp/B00466G5XA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342028935&sr=8-1&keywords=ballet+sculpt+voight and I love it. I was worried it would be too easy, but it was a good workout. I have most of her other DVDs also. I also like The Method All in One http://www.amazon.com/Method-Pilates-All-One-Workout/dp/B000067J06/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1342029138&sr=1-1&keywords=The+Method+All+in+One, altho some people think it's too complicated. Sometimes, tho, I think that's better than multiple boring reps. I also recently bought Supreme 90 day http://www.amazon.com/Supreme-Day-System-Cal-Pozo/dp/B004S2YN5O/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1342029208&sr=1-1&keywords=supreme+90+day+10-dvd+set+workout for the Tabata workout, but you get 10 DVDs for $20. I also love Yoga DVDs. The reviews on Amazon really help me decide if a DVD is something I'd like.
