My friend Emily suggested I do a post on different upbeat songs that could get her and her little ones moving.
I have been wanting to share my workout playlists for awhile..but sometimes I have so many ideas running around in my head that I totally forget. I even write my ideas down…but who knows where those dang pieces of paper go?
I would say 95 percent of my workout playlists are by contemporary Christian artists. I love going for a run and at the same time, focusing on the One who gave me my strong legs and the air in my lungs.
Here is a list of 10 songs taken from my half-marathon playlist…although I will be completing this race later than anticipated:
- Million Voices by Barlow Girls
- No One Like You by Barlow Girls
- Hero by Skillet
- Comatose by Skillet
- Awake and Alive by Skillet
- Sing, Sing, Sing by Chris Tomlin
- Friend Like That by Hawk Nelson
- Move by Mercy Me
- Get Back Up by tobyMac
- Arise by Flyleaf-This one got me through a very long run and a very high hill.
Bonus inspirational song: Let me Feel You Shine by David Crowder (Acoustic!)
These songs are good to:
- Crank up in the house while cleaning.
- Dancing. Alone or otherwise. 😉
- Running outside (make sure you take one earbud out or have the volume low so you can hear cars)
- Cardio or weights at the gym.
- As an alarm clock…if you have that kind of technology. Or you could turn your alarm clock radio onto KLove. 😉

Now go get moving!!
Need more inspiration? I’m working on a guest post that is all about getting back into a fitness routine…stay tuned!
P.S. Is it bad that I want to go wake up the kiddos I’m babysitting? They’ve been napping for almost 3 hours….
Have a wonderfully blessed and semi-healthy day friends!
What kind of music motivates you? Any specific artists and songs to share?
Do you run with an ipod? Why or why not?
