Say it, Do it {Emergency Playlist}
{If you’re new to SIDI here’s some info: At the beginning of each week on FCITC “Say it, Do it” is a chance for us to commit to our workouts for the week by saying them out loud here and keeping each other accountable.}
Back when I was still training for the NYCM, I decided to create an “emergency playlist”. It’s a rare day that I run with music, but I thought that I might carry my ipod with me on marathon day for when I hit the wall or just felt like I needed an extra boost.
Unexpectedly, this emergency playlist has come in handy on those days when I just don’t feel like working out. Every time I turn on this music I’m immediately motivated to pick up those dumbbells.
(please don’t judge me for the excessive number of Britney Spears tunes)
I highly recommend putting together an emergency playlist of your own. It can be a great motivator. I just hope these songs don’t lose their charm between now and November, 4 2012.
Here’s the workouts, I’m putting out there for #SIDI this week:
- Monday: Physique 57
- Tuesday: Spin
- Wednesday: Lululemon Run Club
- Thursday: off
- Friday: Spinning/SurfSET
- Saturday: Run
- Sunday: Run
What workouts are you committing to?
Do you have an emergency playlist?
My plan this week because it will be crazy with work events:
Monday: 2 x Spin @Flywheel
Tuesday: early am Spin @ Flywheel
Wednesday: Home workout or Lithe class…
Thursday: day off
Friday: day off
Saturday: Lithe class
Sunday: Triple Threat @Flywheel!
Not as much variety as I try to do but enough workouts that it will keep me sane through a crazy week!
I don’t have an emergency playlist. I don’t usually run with music myself but that’s a fun list!
This week:
Mon: Physique 57
Tue: Refine method
Wed: Physique 57
Thursday: Formula 57
Fri: Spin/Physique 57
Sat: Physique 57
Sun: Spin
Hopefully SIDI will keep me accountable considering this is also finals week at my grad school…
Good luck with finals!
oooh how had I forgotten about poor FALL OUT BOY!
Well, my weeks are starting to sound like a broken record. But, for being broken, that record is doing the trick! I feel challenged and (as long as my eating stays on track) I am seeing results!
Mon: Refine/Run
Tues: Refine
Wed: Refine/IntenSati Shrink Session*
Thurs: Refine
Fri: Refin/Run
Sat: Run (and try not to get wasted at holiday party)
Sun:off (feeling great cuz I am not hungover…I am not hungover….I am not hungover….)
*If anyone wants to come out for an IntenSati Shrink Session, Wed the 21st at 6:30 is only $10 for my invited guest or any newbies- holiday party + exercise! Hooray.
I really wish I could come out for Shrink Session. I’m dying to try it, but I work on Wednesday nights.
Same ole for me since I don’t do classes.. will get that cardio, weights, core & stretching! Having a couple issues with the hip or medial glute – who knows.. will take whatever cardio my bod will let me do!
Thank god for weights! 
Oh no! I hope your hip is feeling better asap!
Oh, and music…I have had so many playlists and have lost so many collections of music over the past 10 years that I don’t have a good one anymore! Now my go-to is a Pandora station with a good beat. I like the Lady Gaga station for running as well as the Club/Dance, which is so not my typical taste music, but it works for exercise. Elliot Smith just doesn’t make me want to run as far.
Monday: Spin
Tuesday: Yoga
Wednesday: Run
Thursday: Yoga
Friday: Run
Saturday: Yoga
Sunday: Rest
I don’t have an emergency playlist, but sort of a rotating playlist that I keep handy and rotate songs in and out as I get sick of them and find new ones. And mine is heavy on the Britney too, so no judgement!
Monday – Core Fusion, 4 mile run
Tuesday – Core Fusion Yoga
Wednesdsay/Thursday – ideally I would like to do 4 miles on Wednesday and Core Fusion Yoga on Thursday but I have a late night on Tuesday so Wednesday may end up being a rest day, and if that happens, I’ll do 4 miles on Thursday
Friday – Core Fusion
Saturday – 6.5 mile run
Sunday – rest/Music Yoga Flow
Oh man. I went SO off track last week that I’m forcing myself to participate this week.
Monday: 3m run
Tuesday: rest
Wednesday: TRX
Thursday: run (3-4 m)
Friday: Spin
Saturday: Spin or rest
Sunday: run 2m to 5K, run 5K, run 2m home.
Let’s do this!
This is a very busy week so I’m chiming in rather than just writing a note on my iPhone this week!
Monday – off
Tuesday – Spin
Wednesday – Spin
Thursday – 45 min swim
Friday – Arms and spin or elliptical
Saturday – Abs and spin
Sunday – 60 min swim
I always run music-less, but this is a great playlist if I ever feel the need
My week:

I like to run with music a lot so I have a non-emergency playlist…but I do have some “emergency songs”.
My week is like this:
Monday-run
Tuesday-yoga
Wednesday – speed workout
Thursday – yoga
Friday – rest
Saturday – yoga (or rest, brother is in town)

Oh forgot, there is a run on Thursday too…sans Garmin
Love it!! Let me know how it goes!
