I decided to start working out/running again about a month ago, and I started looking at new music to put on my ipod to motivate me while I ran. As runners, we all want up-beat, fun music, so I started looking on the top-40 charts. Plenty of songs fit the previously mentioned criteria, but they tended to need some editing due to language or appropriateness. As not only a pastor's wife, but also a Christian mother of young children, the last thing I wanted was a song on my ipod to be repeated by either of my boys to have curse words or to not glorify God. I was quite torn. Good workout music or God? Not one to compromise very easily, I became determine to get some Christian workout music that I can glorify God while I workout, and I did it. Here is my current playlist that you cannot help but get up and move to!!
Jamie Grace, "Hold Me"
Casting Crowns, "Courageous"
MercyMe, "Move"
DC Talk, "Jesus Freak"
tobyMac, "Funky Jesus Music"
Matthew West, "Strong Enough"
Mandisa, "Good Morning"
Francesca Battistelli, "This is the Stuff"
Natalie Grant, "Perfect People"
This playlist is about 30 minutes, and I warm up to Jamie Grace and cool down to Natalie Grant. Let me know of any other good uplifting songs I can use!!
