Awesome, I approve! Haha! RT @YourInnerSkinny: Q2: I constantly play The Little Mermaid Soundtrack while working out as well #fitblog
Q3- Music during group exercise: groan-worthy or inspiring? Any stories about particularly bad music choices? #fitblog
A3 I think the music choices during a high energy class can make or break it but I HATE when pilates/yoga play music "just because" #fitblog
A3.2 Once during a Body Pump class there was a squat track to a techno version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Color me mortified. #fitblog

A4- Favorite track to sweat to AND guilty pleasure = Toxic by @BritneySpears. Best. Bassline. Ever. #fitblog
Yeah Britney! RT @phillynerdgirl: A4: Beiber would kill my workout flat. And guilty pleasure would have to be Britney Spears.#fitblog
That must have been a REALLY cool band. RT @TieDyeFiles: @NinaSweatingIt Also that was a high school marching band stand song #nerd #fitblog
A4.2 I find that my normally high standards in music quality do not apply when working out. In fact, the opposite does. :-P #fitblog
