heres what my cardio work out consists of. i do an hour on the eliptical which i am up to 7miles and 1000cals in an hr. since i lost so much weight already the cals are droping off so it might take me 65 mins instead of 60.         &nb sp;         &nb sp;       5 days a week.

 i have been doing this since january i have lost over 50lbs with just diet and exercise alone. not to mention mountain biking which i just started.

at 44 i feel like i am 30 again. i do more with my kids now my wife loves the extra energy i have and i bought a harley... so there is no way i am going back to 3x tshirts and taking naps. there is to much life out there that i missed since my mid 30's.

oh yeah and the calorie count plus really really is a god send.

and this music......

what makes my music fun is when the explicit stuff comes on and i have some 80 yr old woman trying to talk to me while i am totaly in the zone and lil john is busting out some f bombs.

I go through a new playlist about once a month but these are some of my current favorites. Hope these will get your blood pumping!

Throw in a couple of songs from:" Prodigy-Their law the singles 1990-2005." On the elliptical I really like to pound it out to 1) Firestarter or 2) Hot Ride. 

i use the entire "i get wet" album by andrew W K

it's hilarious how similar the songs all sound but the novelty of his music makes it for a fun and energetic album.

My playlist is basically Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears, Madonna, Rihanna, Cascada, all their fast pace songs.  I may not like Britney Spears as an artist, but her people know how to make a good workout track!

Gwen Stefani's "Now That You Got It"  is a great song.  I listen to this stuff while I'm walking/jogging and sometimes I just want to stop and start dancing!

It's all a matter of preference though.  If you play songs that YOU like, you're going to feel more energized + motivated!  I even have some slower paced songs on there (Robin Thicke) that I listen to simply because they make me happy.  God knows I need all the cheering up I can get mid workout lol.
