A great way to galvanize your mind and your body is with music and thanks to the iPod, your music selection is portable.
Just in case you don't know how to make a workout playlist on your iPod, here are some guidelines:
1. Open iTunes
2. Click on "File" and choose "New Playlist"
3. You will see a new playlist appear off to the left of your library titled "untitled playlist"
4. Name it whatever you want. I call mine "Workout"
5. Add all your favorite, upbeat songs here (you can click and drag from your library into the new playlist) and next time you exercise, you can go straight to your workout list and begin
feeling motivated right away.
Before you know it, you'll have so much fun you won't even know you're exercising. In fact, why not dance instead of going to the gym or get real fun and funky on the treadmill. Next thing you know, it will be time to stop....but maybe you won't want to!
Oh, by the way, if you have more music in your library than your iPod can fit, (like I do) be sure to select the "workout" playlist in your iPod options so your workout playlist is always with you.
Here's how:
When your iPod is connected to the computer, click on the "music" tab. This is where you choose which playlists you want to have on your iPod. Be sure to click on your new Workout list so you can always have it with you and you can exercise anytime you want.
If you don't have an iPod, why not make a CD or cassette with all your favorite tunes on it? This will inspire you to move even when you're not in the mood!
