treadmillsAs some of you know this year I am taking my fitness and weight reduction seriously.

As a result I am now going to the gym 4 times a week plus badminton once a week and dancing twice a week.

The gym helps me think as well – check out my lyric writing: Blog-ger by NickelBack and Andrew Rondeau

The gym has music playing and TV’s you can plug you headset into, but for me taking my own iPod and music is a must.

I purchased a great CD to listen to while I’m pushing myself at the gym and now I wouldn’t be without it: 101 Running Songs

Certain songs keep me going. Here’s my current top 10 from the CD. What do these songs tell you about me?

Martha And The Muffins – Echo Beach

David Bowie – Modern Love

Earth Wind and Fire – Boogie wonderland

Earth Wind and Fire are my favourite group of all time and whenever they tour the UK, I always get tickets. They haven’t been over here for a few years, so hopefully they will very, very soon!

Wham – Wake Me Up Before You Go Go

Surprized? Yeah – so am I but it’s a great track to be running on the treadmill to!

Lou Bega – Mambo No 5

Queen – Don’t Stop Me Now

This is one song I am having at my funeral – is that morbid?

Oye Como Va – Carlos Santana

Gorillaz – Feel Good Inc.

Snap – Rhythm Is A Dancer

Survivor – Eye of the Tiger

This has to be the ultimate gym song!

Any songs you recommend for me while I’m sweating away at the gym? Share your views in the comments below. THANKS!
