As I already posted the BodyPump playlist for release 83, I figured let’s do CXworx 8 too! I get asked a lot about the music playlists for the new releases (almost as much as my spin playlists) I figured I’d just post them to my blog.

Great way to combat dog obesity
The WSJ reported recently that the newest obese Americans are PETS! A staggering 50% of pets are overweight and 1 in 5 are classified as obese!
