Awesome website!

Through some random Parkour blog, I found Nerd Fitness and must say that it is my new absolute favorite fitness motivation site! Especially this post. Unfortunately, it also kind of makes you just want to sit next to your A/C and read the entire blog instead of actually going outside and training. But oh well.
So yeah, it's rad as hell, go look at it!

Music: Running

I still haven't quite gotten the hang of running, but here are some songs that I would imagine to be good to listen to.

• Eye of the Tiger - Survivor. This would probably be good for any kind of training. Makes you feel like you're in an 80s movie. XD (it's also good for a laugh if you're a Supernatual fan)
• Love Will Find You - Journey. More 80s music! very good for running. 
• The Final Countdown - Europe. Can you tell that I like feeling like I'm in an 80s movie? 
• Be a Man - Mulan Soundtrack. Everyone says that this is great for getting through the last few minutes of running when you feel like you can't go any further. 
• Kill Everybody - Skrillex. Yes, sudden change in genre. For some reason I really want to run to this, although I don't like the words to it. It's just got a great beat.

As usual, I'll add more later.

Music: Kickboxing

I was doing a kickboxing workout today and realized that there a few songs that fit really well to the rhythm of the punches.

• Too Close - Alex Clare. The video itself is motivation. Sort of dubstep-y.
• Stamp On the Ground - Italobrothers. Very jumpy, also techno-y.

I'll add more when I think of them. But for me personally, any kind of techno or fast paced dubstep works really well.

Post Workout drink

Here's an idea for an after workout drink that I can't believe I hadn't thought of before!

You will need:

• A whole, half or quarter watermelon.
• Pre-cooled water or soda water
• A freezer bag

1. Cut the watermelon up into small squares (about the size of an ice cube), put them into the bag and freeze them. (do this the night before)
2. After your workout and cool down, pour a full glass of pre-cooled water, or a half glass of soda water.
3. Separate the watermelon cubes from each other (they'll most likely have frozen together) and put into the water. If you're drinking soda water, add them carefully as it tends to fizz up dramatically.

And, there you go! They add a nice sweet taste to bland tap water and you can eat them after!
