New Year, New Me: My Ultimate Playlist

My iPod is my BFF when it comes to working out. Nothing gets me more revved-up to exercise than some music pumping in my eardrums. It has the power to rejuvenate me and motivate me to keep going even when the sweat is stinging my eyes and my muscles are begging me to stop.
