Skinny Jeans…Do you own any?

February 29th, 2008 · No Comments

How many of you are itching to get back into your “skinny jeans“? Personally, I’d just like one pair that FITS perfectly. Maybe you need motivation for that perfect pair of jeans in the form of your workout music? Songs include “Use it to lose it” which I think is hilarious! “You’ve gotta use it to lose it” will stay in your head all day. It would be a great song to teach line dancing to fifth graders! They would love it. The title track ‘”Skinny Jeans” goin’ get back into you somehow.. hanging around in the back of my closet” is so familiar! Along with others like “Don’t pick up that muffin!”..Music does have an influence on me- because now I think about it when I have an early morning coffee date with friends! I don’t buy muffins anymore- too many empty calories (or the replay in my head don’t eat that muffin). The songs are cute, catchy and uplifting. It is Heidi Roizen’s dream to help motivate others to achieve their health and fitness goals.

“About seven months ago I hit an all time high, I had gone from a size 8 to a size 14. Facing my 50th birthday, I did not want to enter the ‘back half’ not feeling good about myself, and at an unhealthy weight. Since music has always been a motivator to me, it occurred to me that maybe there would be great songs I could listen to while walking, or even in my car, that would motivate me to succeed, much in the way ‘I will survive’ by Gloria Gaynor got many of us through a breakup. I couldn’t find any, so I wrote SkinnySongs.”

Skinny Songs has created some funny t-shirts as well. “Body under construction, Do Not Feed, The Incredible Shrinking Woman”. Not sure I’d wear these, but they are funny! Particularly, “Do not feed”, you couldn’t go around in this shirt eating junk food! If you go to a party with this shirt on, it just might keep you from the cookie bowl! Every single one of your friends will STOP you from eating all those chips and salsa.

Testimonies from the website:

“These songs propelled me out of my ‘can’t fit into my skinny clothes’ depression and straight into the gym. They’re so motivational I find myself bopping around the kitchen to them and deciding maybe I don’t need mashed potatoes tonight as much as I thought.” - Dottie H, WA

Skinny Songs are fun. I’m always looking for great music to put on during my workouts and these songs are terrific; the best workout music I have ever purchased! - Ann W., CA
