Along with the warm sun, inevitable freckles, purple and pink sunsets and camp fires, there is another thing I adore about the late spring and summer months: outdoor exercise.

A few summers ago my days revolved around making sure I got outside for a run. It could have been 35 degrees outside, it didn’t matter. I was out there. Burning calories and my skin.

There was one thing however that could stop me from taking time out to get out and sweat it out and it wasn’t a third degree burn on the back of my neck.

Lack of music.

Before I was cool, I would jog with this enormous portable CD player. I’m actually laughing out loud right now remembering it. The music kept skipping endlessly, but I still lugged it with me. It never failed that my batteries would die just as I hit my stride.

Nowadays I bring along an ipod shuffle no bigger than my thumb that carries a trillion songs, no batteries required.

I’m feeling generous today and I’ve decided to share my current workout song list with all of you pretties to help you get moving. Don’t make fun, these songs really do help…

Enjoy!:

1. Miss. Independent - Ne-Yo

2. Sex On Fire - Kings of Leon

3. Circus - Britney Spears

4. The Way I Are - Timbaland

5. Love Lockdown - Kanye West 

6. Bittersweet Bundle of Misery - Graham Coxon

7. That’s Not My Name - Ting Tings

8. The Promise - Girls Aloud

Also, try the Rocky Theme. Guaranteed to get you exercising like Balboa, but hopefully not looking like him.
