This month, we are not really focusing on “gear” per se, but rather sounds. Finals are approaching, we’re beginning to travel and it takes a little more effort to make it to the gym. However, to spice up your routine (both inside and outside of the gym), add a little music. Have Christmas come a little early this year and get yourself some itunes, or dig out an old CD to play during a run or a lift session. If you need some suggestions or a starting point, here are some of the songs I have been listening to lately to propel myself into Thanksgiving Break.
My Top Tracks for November
1. Loud — Mac Miller
2. Monster — Kanye West
3. Run — Snow Patrol
4. Immigrant Song — Led Zeppelin
5. One (Your Name) — Swedish House Maffia
6. It’s Tricky — Run DMC
7. Best One Yet — Black Eyed Peas
8. Uprising — Muse
9. No You Girls — Franz Ferdinand
10. In the Dark — Dev

12. Hey Ya! — OutKast
13. R U Mine? — Arctic Monkeys
14. Ooh La La — Goldfrapp
Yes, some of my tunes are outdated, but I always have a few signature staples. Prime example: when I don’t want to get out of bed and life is a little “Tricky,” I hurry and turn on Run-DMC to give me some motivation (and I tend to have a lot more of those moments as the Holiday Season approaches).
