Mardi Gras begins this week and if you plan on taking part in some form of Fat Tuesday celebration, you probably need to make up for it in a pretty intense workout.
Why let a good theme opportunity go to waste? In honor of the home of Mardi Gras, this week’s workout is about all things New Orleans. Lots of great music has come out of New Orleans. It’s the birthplace of Jazz, and a melting pot of Cajun, Zydeco, Blues and every other kind of music you can imagine.
All but one of the following artists are from New Orleans (Gary U.S. Bonds being the exception).
