Tonight after supper I kicked myself in the buttocks, went upstairs to the treadmill (ya, haven't actually done that this whole time), turned on my "workout" playlist and just walked quickly, did stupid arm movements akin to dancing while walking, lip synced like a boss, and in the end felt SO MUCH better. Why, oh why don't I do this more often? Well, I think I will.
If you need a bit of a mood boost and you are of my "generation" (i.e. you wore the big earrings, the shoulder pads, the layered jewellery ala Cyndy Lauper, and teased and sprayed your spiral perm to within an inch of your life), then enjoy. For the rest of you, don't judge.
Here is what I walked to, in this order:
Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell
Another 80s girl here. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel similarly. I'm all right when busy, but during slow period I sometimes tend to ruminate.
Our roller rinks tended to play rock music. I remember doing couples' skate to Journey or Reo Speedwagon. :D
Be well!
Born in the 50s, hit my stride in the 80s.
ReplyDeleteThe music brings back some memories.
Oh! I was a teen in the 80's and that is some of the best music. I absolutely love Faith by George Michael.
ReplyDeleteI love your play list! I need to whip out my Richard Simmons Sweatin' to the Oldies! The music definitely helps!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, great music, even if I am more of a 60s girl. We too have a treadmill but haven't used it yet. I have a YouTube song list for walking, lots of country and western too.
ReplyDeleteGreat sounds to start my day
Whey~Hey...Certainly blew my mind this morning..
ReplyDeleteWell, all except for Tom Jones and George Michael..! :(.
Motown..Marvin Gaye..1966..Stevie Wonder..1973...
Ami Stewart..1979..Wow! :0).
Well..l go back to the decade that's 'always' voted the
best..the 60's..HeHe! We always used to say.."If you
remember the 60's..you were'nt there"..! :0).
Back then everyone was being silly over the Beatles, l
took to Motown..and NEVER looked back..spent 10mths in
Detroit back in 68 at Motown..But! That's another story..
Great post..enjoyed it with my morning lemon tea, with
honey of course..and the sun peering through the Paddington
Bear curtains..Lovely! Thankyou..! :o).

80s was my playground, too. There was some great music then, despite the woeful fashions, and quite a lot of variety. I did lean toward the New Romantics and what not, so not a real overlap here, but George Michael was always good to dance to. Over the past few months I've been listening to all our CDs in an effort to prune out the dross and the nostalgic albums that really haven't stood the test of time - in no way influenced by Marie Kondo!! - and as I store them alphabetically, today, yes, today, I finally got to the end. "You're up to U now?" said Mr P. as I was dancing at the ironing board to U2. (Very effective and productive form of exercise, by the way, and no special clothes required!)
ReplyDeleteYeah you on the treadmill. Needs must! BC, before COVID-19, I attended a fitness class where the instructor freely admitted to being an 80's gal - she rocked leg warmers, leotard & tights in very class. Her music was invigorating to be sure. Rock on Jenn ... Mary-Lou =^[..]^=
ReplyDeleteBig earrings, shoulder pads -- oh yes, I wore those too *shudder*
ReplyDeleteMy daughter graduated high school in '89 so I was past my groovin' days during that time. But for you and your treadmill, all I can say is, "You go, girl!!"
ReplyDeleteFun way to go! Being a one time Hippie girl (that would be the original’60s. Apparently we have had several episodes of hippie wannabes 😂) I have a long list of genres in my playlist.
ReplyDeleteWalk on to the beat. 😊
It sounds like you had a really fun day. Great music! Stay safe and have a wonderful day, hugs, Edna B.
ReplyDeleteLove the playlist, I am all in on the Motown! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteVery fun. I'm big into music and singing and dancing when I cook. But I also love my treadmill. We call him Monster. So fun. Here's to more goodness!
ReplyDeleteI've got some of those tunes stuck in my brain now!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, I only recognize a few of those! But I was checked out as far as popular music goes from mid-1970's right up til now :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great playlist - it really gets you moving! I work out first thing in the morning to a step video and it really gets me set up for the day (as well as filling an hour).
ReplyDeleteVery good, for you on the treadmill. I even knew some of them.
ReplyDeleteLots of great songs. Tom Jones! Oh so hot.
ReplyDeleteGood for you on the t-mill!
I'm of the original hippie generation - but I can still groove to these!
ReplyDeleteWorks for me! I was young and carefree in the 80s!
ReplyDeleteTom Jones' rendition of "Kiss" 200x better than Prince's!
ReplyDeleteThanks To God Almighty for using Doctor Razor's Quick cure for herpes to eradicate my herpes Simplex Virus...I got diagnosed with Herpes On February 17, 2016 and it resulted in a cluster of painful ulcers and many problems while urinating.. My situation almost caused me my marriage because my husband was having pressure coping with his work and my situation.. One morning, I read a testimony on a blog page online, of a natural cure from a Herbalist named Dr Razor who cured a 50 years old retired US Army official and he is now healed from dementia.. I immediately contacted him and I told him of my herpes, he encouraged me not to give up. I administered the natural Healing medication he sent to me and a few weeks later I went to the hospital for a check up and the result was clear.. It's been 4 years now and I am proud to let you know that I am still healthy and living happily with my husband and my 3 kids after the healing. I felt it best that I let you know that if you contact Doctor Razor through his email drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com , you can have a second chance of living again,because he will give you good results..
