If you ask me, music is 50% of your workout. Just try going for a run when your iPod battery dies half way through and tell me which half you pushed harder on! So in the spirit of iPod, YouTube and all the other downloads out there, I let you choose a different playlist for all of my videos including the just released "Hard Core Abs" DVD.
Need help choosing fresh music? I also load new workouts online each season, and put them on iTunes as well. I tried to mix it up with songs that are not all on the pop music station, but for more common songs, visit

So follow my suggestions, and before your DVD, trip to the gym or run outside, remember to charge your batteries!
