Music is critically important to my workouts. My mind tends to noodle all over the place if I don't have something to focus my attention so I make sure my iPod is loaded up with great stuff.

Today, to celebrate my kid the trombonist getting the "Best Band Member in Sixth Grade" on Tuesday night, I'm downloading Trombone Shorty's Backatown album.

Download something fun for your workout!

Support the arts in schools!

Dance around the room!

Peace out!

So here's the deal: I want to be the next BodyMedia FIT SpokesBody and all you have to do is "like" the video at the SpokesBody page, which is HERE. I'm not going to bug y'all about it constantly, because I don't roll like that. If I win, I win. If I don't, I still win!

I love-love-love my BodyMedia FIT (that gizmo that lives on my left tricep) because it tells me how many calories I burn, how many steps I take and even how well I sleep. The website and interface are also extremely user-friendly and can give you a lot of feedback on how active or inactive you really are.

I'm not yet a success story, but I'm well on my way to becoming one.

You can vote every day through Aug. 1.  Votes will be cast by using the "like" button right below my video. Here's the video but you need to go to the site to vote for it. Thanks for your time, and now watch as my purpleness begs for votes:
