\"\"<\/a>After my tape deck crapped out in 1997, I was stuck listening to either the radio or full albums in whatever order the artist intended. That all changed in 2001, when the new-fangled MP3 technology got combined with my new CD burner.<\/p>\n

In addition to the occasional series of CDs I had burned in order to keep abreast of new music, I had created a bunch of genre-specific mixes that could be used both in the car and at the gym. This week we will take a look at the first disc created specifically for working out.\u00a0 The selection is mostly European dance music which has a good beat intended to keep me moving.\u00a0 Sadly, I can’t\u00a0say how well it worked. \u00a0So, without further ado, I bring you\u00a0Workout, volume 1.<\/p>\n
