In the past couple of weeks, as I’ve laid my claim as a SoulCycle cult member that the majority of its effectiveness comes down to the upbeat, beat-heavy and oftentimes cheesey tunes. Well that, and thoughts of muffin top in skinny jeans from an overabundance of b-raw-nies (after all, looking svelte while wearing a chunky fall sweater is considered an art in most countries). But, when flying solo for a run, I’ve been diggin’ this mix (with my reasons noted, and beat per minute counts for serious ) from RunHundred.com to give me treadmill gusto when I don’t have a skinny little man that looks like Robyn yelling at me to “WERQ.”
- Snoop Dogg & David Guetta – Sweat (Remix): because Snoop is the skinniest person alive, even though every time I watched his long gone reality show, he was eating chicken and waffles. (131 BPM)
- LMFAO, GoonRock & Lauren Bennett – Party Rock Anthem (Russ Chimes Remix): because I’m better as partying when I look GOOD partying (129 BPM)
- Katy Perry – E.T. (Benny Benassi Remix): because even thought I hate the original song, everything remixed Benny Benassi is worth bopping to (136 BPM)
- Tiesto, Diplo & Busta Rhymes – C’mon (Catch ‘Em By Surprise): because Busta’s STILL GOT IT (130 BPM)
- Flo Rida & David Guetta – Club Can’t Handle Me Right Now (Manufactured Superstars Remix): because da club won’t be able to handle me once my skinny midriff is all out and stuff (lets pray my boobs stay big?) (128 BPM)
- Pitbull & T-Pain – Hey Baby (Sidney Samson Remix): because T-Pain in my ear makes me want to run. Far. (128 BPM)
- OneRepublic – All The Right Moves (Fred Falke Remix): because having all the right workout moves leads to all the right sexy-time moves. (127 BPM)
- Black Eyed Peas – Rock That Body (Chris Lake Remix): because Fergie and her freak-of-nature abs are inspiration enough (127 BPM)
- Far East Movement, Cataracs & Dev – Like A G6 (DJ Solarz Remix): because working out to this son, in addition to sipping (sugar-free) sizzurp will make you feel fly. Like, well, a G6. (129 BPM)
- Lady GaGa – Born This Way (Dada Life Remix): because being born with baby fat gives no excuse to still having baby fat at age 25. (128 BPM)
