Bet you can’t wog to it just once...

All too often, exercise music ignores melody for rhythm: thumpa-thumpa-thumpa-step-step-step-step-ho-hum. Why not let your heart sing to the song while your feet jog along? That’s why this week’s wog, Hooked On Melodics—and it’s a Wog-a-Thon at that—features some of my favorite pure melodies in pop music, without sacrificing a steady beat. The Beatles, Guster, Collective Soul, Sarah McLachlan, Til Tuesday, UB40—these are just a few of the artists who will stroke your eardrums while you walk and jog. It’s 63 minutes of brisk exercise bliss, and you’ll only find it at Podwogging.com.

And a one, and a two, and...

New Weekly Wog: Starting with U2’s One and finishing with CCR’s Ninety-Nine and a Half, this week’s wog is one you can count on for a 47-minute vigorous workout. This one’s a mix of popsters from the 60s & 70s (Beatles, Crosby Stills & Nash, the Vogues, Creedence, Keith, Alan Parsons) and more recent fare (U2, Wallflowers, Echo & the Bunnymen, Guster, Bloc Party, School of Fish). It has two solid jogging chunks, one near the start and one near the end, and a nice relaxed middle. If you want to be in that Nümber, check it out at Podwogging.com!
