Tush Movin Tunes

Marty Minor is my personal DJ. Marty, his wife Emily and their son Ian are my Florida family. I love to visit them and enjoy their tropical paradise.

Marty Minor, Emily’s husband, is my personal DJ. He loves music and I value his taste in music; always fun and eclectic and worth checking out. His picks fill my iPod and you might want to check them out! He has a been webite at AfterHoursMusicBlog.com

Here’s Marty: In order to get up off the couch and to move your butt, one often needs some musical encouragement. For the more analytical of exercisers, songs that have 110 to 120 beats per minute are optimal for brisk walking. However, I prefer a more organic approach - I like to walk to songs that you can’t help but to bob your head and move your feet. The following list starts off with an easy pace then picks up to a brisk walk. The last two songs will help you cool down at the end of this 36 minute workout.

For your exercising enjoyment, plug these tunes into your portable music player and get going.
