If my kids and I want to get up and dance while listening to a playlist, I know I've got a keeper! Music can add a spark to a workout and may even motivate someone to push harder and actually enjoy getting a bit of exercise. The younger generations may also learn some songs from years gone by and perhaps research the vocalists and/or bands who made them popular.
This list mixes the old and new as well as including various speeds so that I can incorporate a variety of workout styles. I've done old school floor aerobics, kickboxing, dance, sculpt, pilates, and yoga with this particular list.
There's nothing like working out for an hour with a smile on your face as you think, oh yes...I remember that song! And it's just as cool if the kids come running into the room saying, "Wow, is that Elvis...I love that song!"

You're Still the One
What a Wonderful World (Power Music Mid-Tempo Power Mix 14 has a version with a faster tempo – I would put the slower version at or near the end)

I hope this play list brings back some fun memories, encourages you to listen to a few, and perhaps gets you up to dance!
