Yup, I love Rihanna and her umbrella. I know it was totally overplayed back in 2007, and I, too, have fallen victim to the so-annoying-but-ever-so-catchy "ella ella" that you just can't get out of your head. (Sorry, I'm sure this is happening to you right now). But I love the song, and it honestly gives me an extra "kick" during my workouts. I've used this to my advantage by strategically placing it at a crucial point in my "workout" song playlist. When I'm tired from running (or gliding) up the "hills" on my treadmill (or elliptical), a little "ella ella" takes me a long way.
There are a couple of other songs that push me along through my workout routine. I thought I'd share with you my favorite workout playlist. It's about 50 minutes long, which is perfect for a 45 minute workout and a 5 minute cool down. The songs are placed in this exact order to get me through a good workout with a couple of small "hills" and 2 grueling bigger ones.
I will admit that I am a bit embarrassed by some of my song choices, as this playlist includes songs by the Simpson sisters, Miss Duff and the lovely Britney Spears. But I will push my dignity aside for the sake of the hive. No shame!
