I just listened to Ravel's Bolero...and it never fails to leave me exhausted.

My favorite piece of music!!

I love listening to it while working out...the pace and timing is perfect for using the eliptical machine. I burn an average of 500 calories during it...I just let the tempo be my guide!

2. If you only have time for a short workout, Frank Zappa's reggae version might do the trick:
