20100714 Workout SOTD.

Wokout song of the day is two weeks old today! This is one of my absolute favorite workout songs. This song gets me going - whether it's pre-workout, cardiovasc, or weights - and is one of the most powerful songs I listen to. Switchfoot is my favorite, so I'll probably promote them more in the future too. They have lots of good music, and lots of good workout music. Listen to it with caution [link is to YouTube], as you will feel pumped. :) Enjoy.

Song: The Sound
Artist: Switchfoot

Song: Back Against The Wall
Artist: Cage The Elephant

Link is to the official music video on YouTube. For most of these songs I've posted, I have never seen the video. Often times the videos don't really match the songs from my perspective.

20100706 Workout SOTD.

Today's song is a song I like to listen to during cardio workouts. It's great for a run. The song is long, and is very mellow, has a cool transition and then a great resolution. The tempo is different than most of my workout tunes. It is definitely not my go-to song for powering through one more squat, but during a long cardio workout, it is an inspirational listen to listen through the whole thing. I hope that you find it worth a listen through as well. The link is to the song on YouTube. Enjoy!

Song: Bluebird of Happiness
Artist: Mojave3

20100701 Workout SOTD.

I'm starting something new to infuse this blog, and my workouts, with a shot of musicaffeine.

I am officially starting a workout song of the day [Workout SOTD]. When I hear, remember, find, or want to share a song that I find particularly inspirational for me and my workout, I will report it here and/or on my fb page. Where possible, I'll provide a link where you can hear the song too, if you don't know it.

My hope is that any collection of the SOTD's will make a killer workout mix, or as I like to call it PEM [performance enhancing music].

Today's SOTD:

Song: Let Me Go On
Artist: Seabird

I provided a link to the song on YouTube. Enjoy.
