Tunes for Tuesday: On Our Way, by The Royal Concept

This is one of those SoundHound songs, where I'm at a store or coffee shop and go "What is that?" and grab my phone to ID it. Super high energy, good for a HIIT workout:

Tunes for Tuesday: Light em Up, by Fall Out Boy

Don't think there's an "official" video out yet for the song, so I found this one that just happens to feature the Miami Heat (go Heat!). I think the song would be great to kick off a running mix.

Tunes for Tuesday: Ready, Set ... Fiesta mix, by Rock My Run

I downloaded the Ready, Set. ... Fiesta mix from Rock My Run on Monday and it is FUN. It was the perfect tempo for my brand of jogging (slow), but it would also be great for a dance workout. Here's one of the songs on the mix:

Tunes for Tuesday: Gotta Get Thru This, by Daniel Bedingfield

Haven't listened to this one in awhile but it's fantastic to play halfway through any sort of workout.

Tunes for Tuesday: Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, by Wham

The "Today" show had a segment on earworms and this was one of the songs mentioned in the report. Aaaargh! So I thought I'd spread the love and I found a video that splices together the Wham video with that ridiculous scene from "Zoolander." Please to enjoy and dance Carlton Banks style.

Tunes for Tuesday: Let It Roll, by Flo Rida

The video reminds me that although we live 30 minutes away from the beach, we never, ever go! Also makes me want to buy a skateboard, but I think I'll leave that to the young'uns. I'll stick with jogging on the swampy side of town.

Tunes for Tuesday: Drive, by Incubus

Once again, not necessarily a workout song, but definitely one of empowerment. I've been feeling particularly in control of my weight loss the past few weeks and was thinking about this song from 1999 on Monday's walk.

Sometimes I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before, it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
Lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel

Right?

Tunes for Tuesday: Everything Reminds Me of My Dog, by Jane Siberry

Everybody has the week off, so The Husband and I took Mr. Lucky for a walk today and made a detour to the dog park. 

Lucky hates it.

He thinks he's a people and gets very nervous if one of those animals tries to play with him.

But the Fitbit is over 6,000 steps already, so everyone got a good little workout.

 

Tunes for Tuesday: Home, by Phillip Phillips

I love how laid back yet energetic this song is -- perfect for a long walk home.

(And did I publish last week's Tunes for Tuesday on Wednesday? I blame the colonoscopy Propofol.)

Tunes for Tuesday: Can't Hold Us, by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

I really need to get this song into a running mix.
