It's Wednesday and I'm bored. We have been discussing some of the finer points of fitness for awhile now and I need a change of pace. Today, I'm talking about music. I don't really want to get into the way music can lift your spirits and help release endorphins or the way a good beat can keep you in the perfect tempo to maximize your workout. Today it is just going to be simply what i would consider some good newer music and maybe a top 25 to workout to. First off, I have to admit that my personal taste is all over the map. So far this year I have loved everything from Mumford and Sons to Eminem, Frightened Rabbit to OK Go. If variety is the spice of life, I'll take the fire sauce. Alright that was enough of a break for me. Here is my top 25 to workout to in no particular order and a nice little piece of cardio hell. Enjoy!

You should add some Nine Inch Nails to that list, friend.

OK, I know I already commented, but I decided since I really like music and since I need to put together music for 5k training, I would give it a whirl (I hope nobody minds). It's a little NIN-heavy. Forgive my nerdiness.
