Bikini Booty!

The latest addition to Tone It Up's Bikini Challenge is an amazing Beach Bum Workout. This routine focuses solely on your back side to tone it into a perfect swimsuit shape. I've already completed the routine once today and will be doing it a second time after tonight's super sculpt and Zumba classes. :) You can never work your back end too much.

You all already know that I firmly believe that a fitness playlist can make or break your workout. If the music I'm listening to isn't fast paced and keeping me pumped, I'm not going to work out at the level I need to. There are ton's of great places around the web where you can find and download (sometimes even for free!!) great tunes to spice up your ipod. 

• The Nike Women Facebook page has a link on the left side that takes you to their favorite workout songs and even lets you download a couple for free. 
• Certain artists, like DJ Lindsay Luv, offer free downloads of their mixes on websites such as SoundCloud.
• Other mashup artists, like Girl Talk, combine short bits of thousands of songs to create long, party mixes. Since they don't pay to use artist's songs, they have to offer their songs for free on sites such as Illegal Art. Here you add an album to your cart and when you checkout, you can pick the price you wish to pay (free if you want.)
• Other workout blogs post entries of their favorite workout songs.
• Fitness magazines, such as SHAPE, often have online or print articles that include great songs.

Those are only a few places to explore fantastic collections of music that will keep you working hard and enjoying your time at the gym. 

Here's another list of some of my current favorite songs:

1. Snoop Dog ft. The Doors - Riders on the Storm
2. Adele - Rolling in the Deep
3. DJ MZ- Rokin Blanks
4. Girl Talk - Triple Double
5. Tanlines- Real Life
6. Goldfrapp - Ooh la la
7. PILL ft. Keri Hilson - Pretty Girl Rock Remix
8. Nicki Minaj- Your Love (Danny Genius Remix)
9. Miike Snow- Animal
10. MillionYoung- Hammocks 
11. MGMT- Electric Feel
12. M.I.A.- Bingo

I hope you all are keeping your ipods full of the most fun and upbeat music you can find so your sure to get the most out of each workout!
