For new music, seek out the mashup
Mary Rambin introduced me to Girl Talk earlier this year. They offer free music downloads that mash up your favorite popular pop, rap and alternative songs. They are a must have for group exercise instructors and anyone who likes a music variety during their workouts. These music mixes area savior for avid runners who get sick of their playlists within a month, like me :)

Excellent mashup music is easy to find with your fancy Google skills, and it’s all available to download for free.

Glee music makes me wanna get up and dance. In fact, I do dance in my seat when I watch it on the couch. So I thought, why not create a workout playlist based on some of my favorite get up and get moving tunes performed by the cast on the show. Here is a 30 minute cardio workout, complete with songs and time. Links go to iTunes where you can hear the songs and purchase if you like.
