I am a lover of music and whenever a new chapter in my life opens or closes – I create some sort of a movie soundtrack – where songs describing the feelings that I’ve been through are commemorated on my iPod.

Which is a good thing – because that’s what songs are created for: they’re a great motivator for whatever it is that you feel like doing.

Check out this cool playlist that will get you going on your workout, as listed down by Lifestyle Yahoo in Australia:
