What is your favorite music to listen to while exercising? When I do go out to walk I like to listen to Donny Osmond...yea..I know...what can I say, the guy can sing!
If I am home, I am usually listening to Coldplay, Smashing Pumpkins, or just a mix of MP3s. If I am at the gym I plug my ear buds into the TV channels and watch all those lame judge shows that come on during the day...gotta love them! PLus they make an hour on the treadmill go by pretty quickly!What is your favorite music to listen to while exercising?

Hehehe yeah...my hubby cant stand to listen to music I like. We are pretty much the same age...but where I will listen to Linkin Park or Disturbed...he is on the oldies channel *shrug* Go figure...I have odd taste in music for my age I supposePam-Your selection of music is that of a youngster! My youngest nephew listens to those groups. I am a little to old for those groups. And Shanny, best to walk without music in case a truck comes barreling down the highway!![]()

Motown rocks....classic...I love it too!Anything thats upbeat that makes me want to just start dancingMotown, disco, 80's, some 90's. Anything but country unless its early Loretta Lynn (Love Coal Miner's Daughter
) Once, I got into talk radio while I was using my total gym but had to stop and catch my breath when I got "fired up" about something and started to call in and give my opinion!

What type of books do you like?My favorite thing to listen to is actually Audiobooks. I listen to them on the treadmill especially and when it gets to a good part or I get excited, it makes me want to walk/jog/run faster. I just have to remember to stop myself from going "Noooo! You idiot!" and "Yay!" out loud as I have a tendency to talk to the characters when I read. Once at work I got a few funny looks because I started banging my head on the table when a favorite character did something stupid.![]()
The Dresden Files are great for audiobooks. They're fun and funny and exciting and the voice actor is really good at what he does. To be honest, I always lean towards books written for teens when it comes to audio because it's easier for me to follow. Orson Scott Card's stuff is great for that too.What type of books do you like?
Check out the Dresden Files. Seriously. It sounds right up your ally. I read Twilight. I liked them, they were fun. My sister absolutely adores them. I can bribe her with any of their merchandise.Most definately. I like a lot of different books depending on my mood. I love books in the mystery/thriller type genre. I also loved the Harry Potter series. I am currently reading the last book in the Sookie Stackhouse series (HBO's trueBlood is based on them). Her next book is due out next month and I cant wait for it! After that I will start on the third of the Twilight series. They are ok I guess...I dont *love* them like most of my friends. A bit too *angsty* for my taste. Besides...I like my vampires to flame in sun...not sparkle *eg*. Although the movies were good....especially the second one...lots of eye candy...yummy![]()
