Katie's 80's Workout Playlist

Finally, the cold is gone and I can resume my normal schedule 
Working out and kicking butt!
On the Wednesday Agenda was a 3 mile dreadmill run
(thanks for nothing snow and artic vortex...)  and Body Pump

After missing my weekend class, I walked into Wednesday night Body Pump 
feeling awesome and excited to rock out to my 80's jams.

I grab my weights and set up my bench in my normal spot, 
behind this super fit MILF who I use as my baseline.  
I am not sure if she knows, but we are secretly having a competition.  
I make sure my weight matches hers in every routine.  
In my head I see who's ahead and who took more breaks.
That's right.  I am half insane.

I get geared up, and the music starts.  
And it is not from the 80's.
It is horrible poppy rocky techno music gone wrong.


RAY, HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME.  
I was so upset, I wanted to throw something, 
Preferably this 30 pound bar on my back  while I am doing 7 million squats to some rock techno version of Black Betty.  

I was so mad.  I get so excited to workout to 80s jams with Ray cracking jokes...... I love the squat session jamming out to Robert Palmer's Simply Irresistible (of which I purchased on Itunes IMMEDIATELY after leaving class).   I was so mad that I actually stopped the class to ask Ray if we could have the 80s mix back.   What did we do to deserve this.  

He said no, there was a "launch"  (new music and routine coming out) that was really hard so he was giving us some of the harder routines for the next two weeks to prepare us.

I was so sad.  Good Bye 80's

I decided to put together my own 80s play list with some of my favorites from Body Pump.  Enjoy this awesomeness while I have to go endure another ab session of Party Rock -

  2. Jeez, I wish I had a name that rhymes with "eighties". Solid 80's workout list there...ah Madonna. I so remember dancing to Vogue, on stage at a club in downtown Toronto. Brings back...though for what it's worth, fave Madonna song is Borderline. Maybe not idea for running, but such a heartwarmer.
