“Mental will is a muscle that needs exercise, just like muscles of the body.” — Lynn Jennings, world champion runner
Happy New Year! If you’ve set yourself some health and fitness goals in 2012 getting the right support and advice will be essential. Maybe you’ll join a fitness class, take up a sport or enlist the help of a fitness professional or coach. Whatever route you choose there are bound to be times when your resolve starts to weaken, when there are set backs or challenges or you simply lose sight of your goals. At times like this music can have a wonderful effect on motivation and lifting your spirit. I’ve collected 20 songs for women with a kick ass attitude! Some are well known, some less so, some new, some old. There’s pumping music here you can train to and slower songs to help support a positive frame of mind. Make up a playlist of your favourites and listen, sing along, dance and train to them often. There’s a message in all of them for feisty females everywhere – enjoy!
