Bloggin' and Boppin'

Everyone, it's summertime. Meaning lunch is eaten at Melito's everyday, Gelati Celesti is eaten for breakfast and dinner everyday, and there's generally no thought of getting in a swimsuit because of the fact that Melito's and Gelati Celesti is all we eat. But for those of you who CAN chill by the pool and not get second-degree burns after being outside for three minutes, working out to fit in your itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikini or speedo (?) is a must. In workout magazines, celebs often give their ultimate workout playlist for their iPod. Since we're celebs, and since we work out (again, insert question mark in parentheses...?) we've decided to give you the ultimate playlist for your iPod- BROADWAY STYLE!

1. "So Much Better" from Legally Blonde- The rhythm is perfect, and all you need to do is picture all the tiny sorority girls in this show and you'll be sure to crank that treadmill up to 6. Or 5.2.... for a minute and then stay on 4.0 for about 30 minutes.

2. Literally any song from Altar Boyz- did you see those Swift Creek boy banders? Talk about a workout! And with songs like these (we especially love "God Put the Rhythm in Me") you'll be sweating almost as much as Chris Stewart and Annie did after "NYC" in Annie.

3. "Mamma Mia" from Les Miserables- Har har. But again, perfect rhythm, great tune. Just try not to picture Meryl Streep when you're pumping.

4. "Go, Go, Go Joseph" from Joseph- Stop laughing. Or rolling your eyes. The only problem is fast-forwarding through the blah of the Baker and the Butler or whoever.

5. "It Won't Be Long Now" from In the Heights- Karen Olivo is SO awesome on this song. And Lin-Manuel Miranda, well, you know how we feel about him. Just pretend that you're running toward him...

6. "Comfort and Joy" from Bat Boy- This song is GOOD. We'll always have memories of Scott Wichmann doing such an awesome job at this role at the Firehouse. Just pretend that you're running toward him...

7. "It's Your Wedding Day" from The Wedding Singer- Who doesn't like working out to 80s music? Or in this case music that sounds like it was written in the 80s and comes with choreography that literally throws in every stereotypical 80s move in a time-span of about 90 seconds?

8. Literally any song from Fosse or Movin' Out- We particularly like "Crunchy Granola Suite" or "Angry Young Man." Just think of Elizabeth Parkinson's ridiculous abs and you'll push yourself like crazy. Or hop off the Elliptical and down a milk shake because really, how will you ever get your body to look like hers? Seriously.

So let's start sweating to showtunes so we can stroot our stoof. If you have any other musical theatre workout songs, let us know!
