Motivational TV + Music

I am loving The Biggest Loser at the moment...it's very motivational - almost makes me want to go out and run up mountains to prove to myself I can...of course I could only do this with the lovely Bob (personal trainer) by my side ;-)
Isn't he bendy in this photo....hmmm, intriguing!

I am also trying to come up with a motivational playlist (exercise wise) for my iPod. I'm looking for songs that will get me moving quicker and will keep me going when the going gets tough. So far I'm thinking of these:
  • Start Me Up - Rolling Stones
  • Stronger - Kanye West
  • Eye of the Tiger - by whoever sang that!
  • She Moves in her own way - The Kooks
  • Some Jimi Hendrix
  • Some Killers
  • Whole Lotta Love - Led Zepplin
  • Don't Stop Movin' - S Club 7
  • Beautiful Day - U2
  • She's a Rainbow - Rolling Stones
  • Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
  • (Doing naughty things) in the bushes - Oasis *name changed for polite purposes!
  • A little less conversation - Elvis
  • Carnaval de Paris - Dario G
  • I wasn't built to get up - The Supernaturals
  • Last Night - The Strokes
  • Nowhere to Run - Martha Reeves and the Vandellas
  • Lots of Stereophonics
  • Filthy Gorgeous - Scissor Sisters

Ok - it's official - I have the strangest mix of music possible! I have also just discovered a heap of music on iTunes I forgot I even had so I am going to go and play! The exercise playlist might need a bit of tweaking but hopefully it's a good start!

My walking playlist is full of lots of cheesy feel good pop (no mocking please!)- Spice Girls S Club 7, All Saints, 80s pop (George Michael!), KT Tunstil, Kylie, Abba, The Beach Boys - anything that makes me feel good and has a fast beat to keep me bobbing along. I have an angry walking playlist too (Greenday, Guns and Roses etc) when I am in a bad mood and want to stride it out...ah who am I kidding, if I am in a bad mood I sulk in bed and eat chocolate not exercise!
