Welcome to Podrunner and a strong hour of great music at 154 beats per minute called Pleasure Cruise.

I'm Steve Boyette, and I'm kind of your cruise director for this journey.

The steady BPM of these mixes tends to get all the attention when people talk about

workout music.

But this makes me very aware of the importance of the emotional energy of the music.

When it's sequenced right, the drive and the feeling of the music can be every bit as important as the beat when it comes to motivating

you and giving you energy as you burn energy.

Pleasure Cruz definitely fits the bill.

It starts off engaged but relaxed. It wakes up and grows more alert as it goes, and then

it blossoms into an energetic-driven mix, not just intent on getting you to the finish, but

getting you there and feeling great about it. The 13 artists who are cheering

you on here include Manubus, Mosaic, Joy Marquez, Wiketron and Rory Hoi and more.

The full playlist is available at podrunner.com. So it's Valentine's Day of 2019 as I record this and I think we need to have a talk about our relationship. I feel like I give and I give and you just run from me. I know you feel committed or you wouldn't be here.

Because if it's just me contributing, we can't go on the way we have been, and that would be a shame,

because I think we're a great team.

It takes both of us to keep this thing going.

I'm in. how about you? Invest in this

relationship with a purchase or a one-time or monthly donation at podrunner.com and

happy Valentine's Day.

Now let's celebrate our commitment with an hour-long pleasure cruise of musical motivation at 154 BPM.

Have a fantastic workout. Have fun and keep going. I know I will. You're Oh, the Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, So, Oh, Oh, uh, uh. Oh, I.

Oh, I like.
