Music inspires me (Juliane) in everyday life and especially in my workouts. I often treat myself to new Itunes when I hit a goal or had a good week of workouts. I was using the mini iPod Nano with the touch screen and had problems with them just dying before. I kept getting new ones because I use it all day everyday for work but they don't make them anymore. I usually just use a cheap pair of headphones because none of the fancy ones fit my small ears. Well on Sunday, my iPod and headphones decided to both break on the same day:( and right before I started lifting! It was a sign from the MUSIC GODS to upgrade. So, I had to get the iPod Nano that doesn't have the clip. It turned out to be a positive investment. The new iPod Nano is Bluetooth enabled. So I got $40 wireless headphones by Quikcell and a cool little $20 armband that wicks sweat by NXE. Well, I tested them all out today for a hardcore HIIT session on the arc trainer and a heavy leg day and everything passed the test. The headphones stayed in place and in my tiny ears and no wire to get caught in everything. It even worked from across the room. And the fun little arm band fit perfectly on my forearm. If you are in the market for new headphones and an armband I highly suggest you try them. I've realized that sometimes its best to go with the not as well known manufacturers... I was pleasantly surprised!

This is me right after my HIIT session. Earphones didn't budge. (Yes, I do HIIT in a sweatshirt)

Old iPod Nano and the new iPod Nano. Not too much bigger so it doesn't feel bulky when you put it in the arm band.


One of my favorite songs to lift to... "SHE FREAKY"

Quikcell wireless headphones are a game changer for my workouts!

 

So here's what I like to listen to when I workout...

HIIT-I always listen to upbeat pop music like Pitbull and Rhianna or even some cheesy 80s pop. I have a whole fitness playlist with only 80s music. I also have an all Janet Jackson playlist I love!

Weight Lifting- I usually set my iPod playlist to Hip hop/Rap genres. Some of my favorites are Eve, Missy Elliott, Neyo and L.L. Cool J.
