I work out with my iPod on an elliptical trainer and I’ve put together a playlist called “Music to Sweat By”. Most of it is dance music–Play That Funky Music, White Boy, e.g.–or Techno mixes. You know, anything up-tempo that will keep me moving. I set the iPod to shuffle, pop in the earbuds, and off I go. At some point when I was putting my playlist together, I must have gotten bored, because today, just as I was hitting my stride and starting to sweat, the Wonka Welcome Song from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory came on. It has a surprisingly good beat. Also, it made me smile. Any pleasant surprises in your exercise routine?
