Celebrity playlist this week
Celebrities confess to skipping the gym and others who are avid exercisers tell Instep this week what music they listen to as they work up a sweat.

 
Tapu Javeri:
"I have a selection of about twenty songs that I listen to when I work out. It has to be high energy pop - anything from the 70s to early 2000. They're all remixes!"
 
Rabia Butt
"Well you can't listen to Bollywood music while you're working out, to that same 'oh the hero is crying' tune. I like listening to fast paced music, hip-hop and pop. I like music by Usher, Rihanna's 'Please Don't Stop the Music', Akon's 'Smack That' and Nadia Ali's 'Is this Love'
 
ZQ:
"It's the Grammy nominee CD which I listen to on repeat. My favourites are 'So What' by Pink, 'I Kissed A Girl' by Kate Perry and 'Biurnin' Up' by the Jonas Brothers."

ZQ has a gym at home and tries to put in an hour at the gym everyday, as she gets fit again. It's very contemporary, just like her taste in music.
 
Yousaf Salahuddin:

Yousaf Salahuddin has been an avid gymgoer for years now, and he claims that serious gymgoers don't listen to music while they're exercising, saying its "fashionable" to do the former. For dance music, he makes his own mixes, and currently his favourites are Masooma's album Kamli, and Ali Raza, who he says is the "best ghazal singer in Pakistan". Yousaf has recorded albums with both Masooma and Ali Raza which will be released soon.

 
Nadia and Aamina

Nadia and Aamina both confessed that they are too busy to go to the gym. Nadia said she hasn't been to the gym in the past half year and just controls her diet. Aamina hasn't been able to develop a gym routine since her work is so divided between Lahore and Karachi. We would think models would have the time and motive to go the gym, but clearly not!

But to get them moving, they both like listening to pop, dance music and remixes, citing artistes like Madonna, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake and Ne-Yo.
