Summer will be here before you know it and you know what that means: skimpy frocks and (dare I say it?!)…bathing suits. For some of us who have been hitting the Girl Scout Cookies pretty hard, it’s time to start thinking about getting our booty (and everywhere else) lifted and looking good.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. You only wear wetsuits or caftans while poolside. I hear ya. But, just in case your skin does see daylight, you might want to join me in my quest to drop a pound or two (or more!). So I’m stepping up my workouts and trying not to eat as much bread and sugar as I usually do. It’s torture, but I’m on a mission. (If I keep repeating this, I might actually stick with it.)
I definitely push myself harder in my workout when I listen to the right music on my iPod. Probably you do too. So, if you’re looking for a little inspiration, here’s my Lift That Booty Playlist. It’s a mix of Old School Disco and whatever young people call music today. If this doesn’t get your heart pumping, I don’t know what will. FYI, I’m convinced singing LOUDLY with the songs burns more calories (and makes you feel really happy), so by all means, SING! Now go break a sweat!

O.M.G.! I love this list! You’re right! Pulling it together on my ipod right after I finish washing down the donut I just ate with my coffee. RATS!
Michael Jackson, “Can you feel it?” I’m remembering Jazzercise classes at the YMCA when I was in high school. I’m picturing those tight, high cut, shiny spandex leotards and cutoff tights. Now there’s a time warp!
I honestly think that the wetsuit sounds good for poolside! But, love your music pics to get me moving. Must do it. Must get bathing suit ready. Ugh!
my name is diane and I am a girl scout cookie addict. it’s not pretty. thanks for the motivation to put down the cookies and get my butt working out! just one addition to the list: Maroon 5′s Moves Like Jagger!
GREAT song list! I love it. Now for some tan lines…
Downloading ‘Get Down Tonight’ as I write this! Great list. Might want to add ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ — that often gets me to pick up the pace when I’m thinking of winding down.
Thank you for the comments! I love all your music suggestions!
I wish I could get the instructors at POP PHYSIQUE in Studio City to use that play list!
I love this list!! I will have to add some of these for my workouts at the gym. I like to watch the news while I’m there but sometimes I feel like I need a little more motivation! What a fun site you have here! I found you on Twitter and now am happily following you!
Thanks, Kathy! So glad you’re here
I am going to have to put this list in my IPOD! Thanks!
Glad you like them! Have a great workout!
