Just Keep Moving

Happy Wednesday!

How was your Tuesday? Mine was movin movin! I started the morning off with a nice 7 mile run. I lucked out because it was the perfect 52 degrees outside. I began the run a little bit chilly, but by 2 miles in, it felt perfect!

I wanted to add a few new songs to my running playlist to spice things up, but when I went searching ITunes, I came up blank. That's about the time I ran cross the list below from the Huffington Post.

Top 10 Workout Songs for January:

Nicki Minaj -- "Va Va Voom" -- 128 BPM

Coldplay -- "Charlie Brown" -- 138 BPM

Icona Pop & Charli XCX - "I Love It" -- 126 BPM

Pitbull & TJR -- "Don't Stop the Party" -- 126 BPM

50 Cent, Eminem & Adam Levine -- "My Life" -- 89 BPM

The Wanted -- "Chasing the Sun (Danny Verde Remix)" -- 129 BPM

Macklemore, Ryan Lewis & Wanz -- "Thrift Shop" -- 96 BPM

Fun. & Janelle Monae -- "We Are Young (Betatraxx Remix)" -- 106 BPM

Will.I.Am & Britney Spears -- "Scream & Shout" -- 131 BPM

One Direction -- "Live While We're Young (Dave Aude Remix)" -- 130 BPM

I also added:

Will.I.Am. - "Scream and Shout"
Rihana - "Diamonds"
Flow Rida - "I Cry"

I was rocking during my entire run! After I got cleaned up, I headed in to work to teach a 10:00am Step N Tone Class. It was a busy busy day in the office so I literally felt like I was running laps around the place all day. When you work in a 3 story gym, that can equal a lot of movement. At 5:30pm, it was time to teach a Dance Cardio Party class. We busted a move big time in class, and had an amazing time! By the time I got to my car at around 7:00pm, I checked out my Nike Fuel Band and these were my stats.

Fuel Points

Calories Burned

Not too shabby! Although I did do structured exercise, I burned most of my calories by just constantly moving throughout the day. Little things like going to talk to a coworker instead of sending an email, walking to lunch, parking further away, and taking the stairs over the elevator can really really add up quickly if you make a conscious effort to take the more active option whenever possible.

I teach until 6:30pm again today, so I threw dinner in the crockpot so it would be ready when I got home. Chicken Taco Chili is on the menu for tonight, and I can't wait to try it!
