Weight Loss Wednesday…Music Motivates!

Let’s face it, an hour on the elliptical can get pretty boring, and if you’re bored you’re less likely to exercise. Since we all know exercise is a huge part of losing and maintaining weight, we need to avoid the boredom at all costs. Music is a great motivator and really helps make the time fly by. I have my iPod loaded with hours of upbeat music to keep me going while I’m at the gym, and I want to share with you some of the best songs to have on your iPod to keep you motivated during your workouts. Here’s a list of some of my personal favorites from my iPod.
