my music guru

I've been piggy-backing off my awesome friend emily's rockstar music taste since we were roomies many moons ago. She's still awesome. And I'm still piggy-backing. She put together this fab playlist for about 30 minutes of cardio just for you. Enjoy! Check out more of my stylist/rockstar/mommy-to-be friend here.



getting a good cardio work-out in is something i dread at the beginning but end up feeling so good during and after. this playlist is perfect for a stretch, warm-up, run/jog, and cool down. to sustain a 30 minute run, i need music with beats that pump me up and push me through when my legs start feeling noodle-ish. 
01. les artistes - santogold (stretch)
02. help i'm alive (warm-up) - metric
03. four songs & a fight - the sounds
04. panic switch - silversun pickups
05. baba o'reilly - the who 
06. special - mew
07. what to do - ok go
08. love is a battlefield - pat benatar
09. turn to stone - electric light orchestra
10. lullaby (mountain) - the acorn (cool down)

we all need that mid-work out swift kick in the pants (#5), and that truly embarrassing 80's ballad to sing along breathlessly to (#8.) since my schedule and preference usually put me working out at night, a cool down is vital before i hit the sack. the more soothing the better. (#10)
