Sounds on Thursday

Taking a cue from our earlier post on National Dance Day, this week's dance anthem is Club Can't Handle Me by Flo Rida. This fun upbeat song is great for some hip hop dancing, visit our National Dance Day post to see the Tabitha and Napoleon choreographed hip hop video accessible for all dance levels. Or just turn it on and get your own groove on. Alternatively, the song is upbeat enough to pull you through any tough workout. Motivation for only $1.29 at iTunes.

Readers, FitBritt recently tried swimming laps for exercise. Do you listen to music when you swim? What player do you use?

In a recent post FitBritt recommended gettin your groove on around your apartment and suggested a playlist of songs including Lady Gaga. Well for all you Lady Gaga fans out there check out Telephone the Kaskade extended remix. This is a great song to really get in some heart pumping cardio! Best yet its over 5 minutes meaning you can groove even longer!

In honor of some of FitBritt's own accomplishments today, the recommended sound for this Thursday is Celebration by Kool and the Gang. An old song but it always gets you moving!

This week's Sounds on Thursday is from a great artist, Alicia Keys. Her song, Wait Till You See Me Smile is an uplifting song that can be used for light to moderate cardio (walking, biking) or a pilates workout.

Sounds on Thursday

So given yesterday's posting FitBritt thinks its only fair to offer an extra special Sounds on Thursday and provide a playlist suitable for busting out some dance moves. As always, songs are available on iTunes or, as FitBritt recently found out, also available on Amazon for $0.99 compared to $1.29 for most songs on iTunes.

Bust-A-Move Playlist
1.) Canned Heat by Jamiroquai- A good warm-up song because of its fun upbeat tempo.

2.) Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas- This was recently suggested by a Frugal Fitness follower and is a great song for some hip hop type moves.

3.) Feedback by Janet Jackson

4.) Anything by Lady Gaga espeically Telephone, Bad Romance and of course, Just Dance

5.) Womanizer by Britney Spears- This has a good beat although FitBritt would like to take this opportunity to make a clear distinction between head shaving Britney Spears and Frugally Fit FitBritt- not at all the same person.

6.) Krazy by PitBull feat. Lil' Jon- Just get crazy!

7.) Get Me Bodied Extended Mix by Beyonce- Check out the middle of the song and see if you can emulate the words of the song. I.e. "Drop down almost to the floor"; "Pose for the camera"; "Do an old-school dance"; "Shake your derriere"; "Do the scissor leg, touch your heel, touch your toe"; "Do the Naomi Campbell walk" You get the picture.

8.) Love Generation by Bob Sinclair- If this song doesn't make you happy and want to dance then what will?

9.) Put Your Hands Up For Detroit by Freddie Le Grand

10.) Don't Feel Like Dancing by the Scissor Sisters

11.) And if you are trying to channel Dancing With the Stars and you are interested in some Latin flavor try out a few of these: Conga by Gloria Estefan, Maghalenha by Sergio Mendes, Let's Get Loud by Jennifer Lopez

Sounds on Thursday

This Thursday we're going back a bit, the sound is Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. This 8 minute song will keep you pumping at a steady pace so its good for high resistance work such as a standing or seated climb on a stationary or spin bike, high resistance on the elliptical, or a large incline on the treadmill. Alternatively, it offers a good pace for weight lifting.

As always, available at iTunes for $1.29.

Today's tune is another remix (which we are a big fan of at Frugal Fitness), Seal's Waiting for You remix is a great pump up tune that can be used for pretty much any form of cardio. Also check his other remixes at iTunes.

The song for this Thursday is a remix of the Beyonce song "Green Light". The remix is by the Freemasons and the song is available on iTunes.

This is a great song for running, kickboxing, the elliptical machine or cycling. Just think, it only costs $0.99 for a little motivation!

This Thursday the song to workout to is "Are you Gonna Be My Girl" by Jet. The song is upbeat with a lot of percussion and guitar. It pairs well with a fast paced or upbeat cardio workout-running, cycling sprints, etc.

This one is an oldie but a goodie:

This song is great for getting your heart rate going in any kind of cardio work.

This week's workout tune is one of my new favs:

Meet Me Halfway by the Black Eyed Peas (available on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-e-n-d-the-energy-never-dies/id318390146">
This song is great for steady runs and plyometric moves like jumping jacks, squat jumps, etc. You can also use this song for some upbeat sculpting.
