It's the Smackdown to keep your fat down!

If you're tired of the usual workout music (Paul Oakenfold comes to mind) and on the look out for something great to listen to while doing cardio, try CBC Radio 3's "Sweatin' to the Indies" podcasts.  They've just released their fourth workout companion* It's hailed as "the return of the world's only all-Canadian, all independent work out podcast with special guest Olympian athletes".  They're obviously milking the spectacular winter sports hoe-down in Vancouver...BUT it's void of cheese factor. Or at least the cheese is swimming atop delicious gravy. (Yes, that was a poutine reference).

With CBC Radio 3 host, Grant Lawrence, acting as my inspirational fitness guide and Chris Kelly's pumping playlist - no cardio machine is SAFE. I think "Sweatin' to the Indies" might just give me enough super power to make an elliptical drive train burst into flames or at least start smoking.
