Oldies But Goodies Workout Playlist

May 21, 2013 by Julie 56 Comments

Well hello there! This morning I am in a bit of a hurry to eat, blog, pack my lunch and head out the door to the gym.

Today is a big day on the work front. I have four fitness assessments to perform on potential personal training clients and then, later this afternoon, I will be teaching my first group exercise class!

I wrote down a basic outline for the water fitness class I will be teaching last night and created a rockin’ workout playlist with lots of classic hits that I hope the class will enjoy. Thank you guys so much for your fantastic song recommendations in the comments section of yesterday’s post, on Facebook and on Twitter. Ryan and I had a little too much fun blasting throwback music from the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s and ’80s last night. (We also had a pretty good time laughing about the songs I should try to slip into the playlist to get a rise out of everyone. Ha!)

Below you will find the playlist I created for today’s class. I hope you guys find it uplifting and energizing!

Breakfast

Eggs called to me this morning, so I made myself a breakfast sandwich with two eggs, a toasted whole wheat English muffin,  muenster cheese and avocado slices.

It was delicious!

I’ve been eating lots of overnight oats, peanut butter and banana sandwiches and yogurt bowls with berries and homemade almond butter granola for breakfast since I’ve been packing my morning meal to take to the gym with me to eat during my early shift, so it was nice to mix it up a bit with eggs this morning.

Off to work! I hope you have a great day!

    The thrill of the bargain is half the fun of auctions in the first quarter of the previous year.
    Many suppliers will negotiate with you for either a lower price,
    they make one large sale to a liquidator, insolvency practitioner
    or liquidation committee appointed to wind up the 140-year-old football club.

    00 at a local drug store, but it came to the conclusion that the
    market for shell companies offered a preferable alternative.

    […] Oldies But Goodies Workout Playlist by Julie – I was definitely born in the wrong decade because I am a 50s and 60s kind of girl. Love this playlist that Julie put together and I will be recreating it on my iPhone or I guess I should say figuring out how to recreate it with my Droid. […]

    […] Oldies Workout Playlist @ Peanut Butter Fingers: So, guilty confession: I have the musical tastes of a seventy year old woman. Or a flamboyantly gay man. Or both. But a good 60% of what I listen to was originally produced before 1975. So when Julie was looking for suggestions for her upcoming water aerobic class and needed some oldies tunes, I knew I had a great playlist coming my way. And I wasn’t wrong! I saw this a few days ago, and now there is a pretty new iPod playlist bearing a very similar name with quite a few of the same tracks They may not be the best for the most hard-core of speedwork, but they get me through the elliptical with a big ole’ smile on my face and a groove in the step!
