Blame it On The Boogie...

I just couldn’t let this week go by without a workout tribute to Michael Jackson. His songs have been a part of my workouts since I had a walkman tucked in my fanny pack! Graduating to a Discman and finally an IPOD, I pretty much have every Michael Jackson/Jackson Five song in my music library. His songs are the ones that I listen to all the way through. I might skip ahead with other artists, But MJ always keeps me moving! And why wouldn’t you be inspired visualizing his moonwalk or “Sharks and Jets” moves in “Beat It”! And who hasn’t at least tried the moves from the “Thriller” video? That video kept my kids alternately frightened and entertained for hours when they were younger. So here is a long playlist (around 68 minutes) with many of my favorites. You can trim the list and skip through some of the songs if you want to, but I’ll bet you won’t!!

“If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
'Cause when you close your heart, then you close your mind…”

So do something good for yourself while you can! Download this mix, forget about the tabloid Michael and enjoy what everyone loved about him.
