lighter workout playlist

this playlist brought to you by the pirate and the parrot, circa 2012

I must admit, my favorite workout music is usually comprised of artists like Pitbull and Flo Rida . . . and it can be challenging to find "clean" music that also has a good beat. So today I bring you a lighter playlist - hope you enjoy!!

I posted a few basics on spin here, and this post by the fitnessista (favorite fitness blog) is also an excellent resource.

4. Bright Lights Bigger City - Cee Lo Green
