Poppies - Hooray for Spring!

This morning on my 3rd annual jog of the summer - this is only the 3rd because it has been raining here for what seems like forever and being a fair-weather jogger, I'm not quite committed enough to jog in the rain - I really enjoyed all of the greenery that has popped out of the landscape. My favorite part - hands down - were the bunches of poppies that I stumbled upon in the various neighborhoods I was passing through!

I hope you stumble upon bunches of poppies today!

Get Up & Get Active with Enrique

Every once in a while a song comes out that makes you want to move. I don't know if you've heard the newest Enrique Iglesias song --- but it does just that...

Enjoy!



Seriously --- I want to do aerobics to that song!! Although if nothing else it gets me bopping around in my seat... (Everyone at the coffee shop must think I am crazy!!)
What song motivates you to be active?

Here are some things I found on Etsy that make me want to move!

heatherboyd creates these very active earrings.

These darling divas doing water aerobics would surely love this song! From reniebritenbucher

I feel as though it would be beyond appropriate to sport this fabulous mini tutu, from PerryStyle, while dancing around to fabulously upbeat music!

Top 10 Songs for the Summer of Fitness!

This is the Summer of Fitness my friends! John and I are going to get back into shape this summer. How are we going to do this you ask? Why being at the gym at 6:30 in the morning, of course. I think you should just get in shape for showing up that early... but we've been doing cardio then focusing on a different muscle group each day. Totally John's idea. What sold me was the yoga classes that come along with the gym membership... :D

So - how am I managing to pass all this time on elipitical machines and treadmills? I have a couple of fantastic workout mixes - My newest is what I am sharing with you today!

1. Rooney - When Did Your Heart Go Missing
- I always sing along to this one - so it gets a little awkward.

2. Ke$ha - Your Love is My Drug
- This is my new favorite song, you can't possibly sit still to it!

3. Spice Girls - Spice Up Your Life
- A classic. This song, in my mind, is a brilliant creation for step aerobics!

4. All American Rejects - Dirty Little Secret
- Another on that you want to sing along to!

5. Shakira - Hips Don't Lie
- Such an upbeat song - makes you want to move!

6. Britney Spears - Stronger
- Quite the motivational ditty - good for the end of the workout! The dance in the video looks like a workout itself!



7. Fergie - Fegalicious
- Pretty much for the line about being "up in the gym working on her fitness..."

8. Rob Thomas - How Far We've Come
- I always make this the last song, mostly because it talks about accomplishments!

9. J. Sean ft. Lil Wayne - Down
- Well, if you're not moving enough this one will get you dancing!

10. Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up
- I am a sucker for this song, love the fast pace!
