Happy Birthday, MJ!: The Ultimate Michael Jackson Workout Playlist

The University of Pennsylvania’s WXPN radio station informed me this morning that today would have been Michael Jackson’s 55th birthday. That is all sorts of insane because, a) Can you believe he died four years ago now?, and b) 55? What?! That makes me feel ancient.

To celebrate the King of Pop in the best way we know how, I thought I’d put together a little tribute playlist of the best Michael Jackson songs to jam to while working out. Topping the list happens to be my favorite workout song ever, period: “The Way You Make Me Feel.” I mean, how can you not help but smile and run a little faster when that one comes on?
