Twisted Mix Tape - I work out!

Well thanks to a friend I have been working out, or definitely exercising, much more than I used to.  And what makes a work out easier?  Music!  Since Jen has left this week's Twisted Mix Tape theme to our own devices, this is what said friend suggested!

I apologise in advance, as the (must be male!) producers of the videos for such up-tempo workout songs seem to believe that the best way to sell them is a) Get as many sexy women as possible and b) Get them to wear as few clothes as possible - trust me, this week is about the beat and the music, the videos are definitely superfluous!


1.  Satisfaction

The beat of this is really good for doing some exercise to, and the exercise gives you satisfaction when you're done - but I'm not sure that's the sort of satisfaction they were on about!


2.  I'm sexy and I know it
As LMFAO say "I work out" - and what a good song to do the working out to!


3.  Put your hands up for Detroit
Now, I've never been to Detroit, but from what Fredde le Grande says, it must be a good place, plenty of roads for going for a run on?



4. Sexy chick

Many moons ago when I was a member of a gym I took a dance class there, and it was quite good!  This was one of the tracks we did it to, and I've always remembered it, so thought I'd better get it in the list!


5.  Destination calabra

Another one with a good beat, this is also brilliant for a bit of a workout - you just need to focus on that "destination" of the new you at the end of the workout!

Any other tunes people like to work out to?  Feel free to join in the fun!

  2. I was going through your list and died laughing when I got to Put Your Hands Up for Detroit. I dropped off my husband at 6am this morning for a 10-day business trip to Detroit (that he was dreading). Great list with awesome beats!

  4. The PERFECT list! I love it, I'm gonna have to download some of those for my workout list. When I get off my ass and workout. But I will.
    Trust me, you have NO REASON to ever go to Detroit. You might want to google it.
    Thanks for joining again Emma! Really love it!

    1. You will get off your ass and workout, get a friend, it's the best way, believe me. I've heard that lately Detroit has fallen from its glory days as the Motor City and Mowtown - shame :(

  5. What a cool, tight, dance-worthy list, and some of those videos were knock-down RIDICULOUS! If they were made by men, then it was men who've never been laid before, for sure =)
