Since I workout every morning (who IS this stranger in my body?!) I listen to a lot of music.  I need some new stuff so last week I asked on Facebook for suggestions for some new workout music and BOY did I get a LOT of ideas!  Hundreds.

It took me a few days, but I sorted through them all and listened to parts of a lot of the songs.  Then I took my favorites, added some I already had, and made myself a new playlist.  It’s got be good to keep me bouncing down the street on these c-c-cold mornings.  I thought I’d share it with you in case you’re looking for some fresh tunes.

I chose a variety of artists, hoping maybe you will explore them and find some new ones that you like.  I also put it in the order I like, but that shuffle feature is fun too….keeps me on my toes.

Playlist for Your Morning Exercise/Worship

1. Good Morning by Mandisa (this is my current FAVE)
2. Something Different by 33 Miles (This song inspires me every time I hear it!)
3. Holy One by Rush of Fools (I like to do two fast then one slow song)
4. Ready to Be Myself by David Dunn
5. Speak Life by TobyMac
6. Maker of the Wind by Big Daddy Weave
7. Gold by Britt Nicole
8. Thank You for Saving Me by Chris Tomlin with Phil Wickham (slowing it down again)
9. Overcomer by Mandisa (let’s face it, you can’t have too much Mandisa)
10. Circles by Anthem Lights (I don’t love the style but it’s growing on me and the message of this song gets me every time)
11. Let Your Light Shine by Bethany Dillon
12. Sandcastles by 4 Proches (I told you how much I love this family band….it’s perfect for what need right before I walk back in the door to my family)

I will be posting a new playlist every month, so be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss anything!

Be sure to check out my February and April playlists too!

  1. Good Morning by Chris Rice. I don’t have any music in iTunes!! Thank you for the giveaway!

  3. Thank you for this post. I usually run to revel in the quiet, but lately I’ve been searching for a little oomph to get me going. 🙂

  7. Speechless by, Israel & New Breed- Jesus At The Center. This song makes me cry with joy every time!

  9. I just recently got back into running. Several years ago, I was very committed to my exercise routine and loved my music and workout time. Like so many of us, I’ve fallen away from it and want to get motivated to start again. I love some of my music more than others. It’s amazing how much difference a song can make. I have told myself each day while I’m exercising that when I finish my workout, before the next day, I will get new music. Still hasn’t happened. I’m so thankful for your post. Just what I needed, and as an added bonus, it seems like you and I have similar taste in music. Even better! Can’t wait to use it! 🙂

  13. I haven’t heard some of these songs! Thanks for sharing. My new favorite movin song is Shake, by Mercy Me.

  17. Thanks Lisa for posting the songs~ I love each one of them, as each one speaks a different message to my heart~ Happy Continuing on your Fitness Journey~

  19. I love Mandisa and Chris Tomlin but Third Day and Matthew West they have some jump starters.

  21. I guess I don’t really have a favorite workout song, but one of my current favorite worship songs is “Mercy Tree” by Lacey Sturm. The music video is really good too!! 🙂

  23. OH how exciting! I’ve been despairing for music to walk/exercise to as what I had been listening to was NOT holy! In fact it quite the opposite and I found it to be quite convicting when I did listen to the garbage… in fact within a time or two I noticed the disruptive and negative effect it was having! There is so much truth to the adage of “garbage in, garbage out”. So I quit listening and with that my motivation has diminished! (add to the fact that with our subzero temps & snow it is simply impossible for me to walk outside…. period! it causes severe respiratory distress…) Can you guess what I’ll be doing tomorrow? Checking out these tunes!! (because today I am preparing bags/boxes for donating, consigning, and plan old trash! We are getting new carpet next week in much of the house and it is the perfect time to take a look at what we have…. only the truly loved & used stays!!

    Have a lovely week!!

  26. I love your selections! Music is so good for my soul! I LOVE “Overcomer”. I always picture a “Rocky” scene when I hear it. I don’t box, but it gets me moving!

  27. Back in the 80s when I was thin, I loved Diana Ross singing “Upside Down.” I did leg lifts to it. The song still motivates me to be healthy. Also Dire Straits “Money for Nothing” has a great beat for working out! Neither would fall on your Christian list, but neither would I have in the 1980s! LOL Bu the songs still conjure up images of my doing a good workout!

  29. I always start my morning workout with “Good Morning” by Mandisa! tobyMac is all over my workout playlist too!

  31. I love listening to Mandisa or Toby Mac…pretty much anything they sing inspires me to move! : )

  32. Love this list Lisa! When I take a cycling class with my girlfriend I usually do my own thing and part of it is listening to Christian music while I ride. I love TobyMac’s Catchafire (Whoopsi-Daisy). I love how uplifting these all are!

  34. One of my favorite songs to workout to is Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. 🙂 Also REALLY dig Make War by Tedashii. I need to REALLY be pumped up when I’m working out!!! 🙂

  36. “I’m an Overcomer!” is very inspirational and fast paced so it can really help me to move a little faster when I want to give up!

  37. great list

    you should give these a try:
    GROUP 1 CREW : Dangerous & He Said
    1 Girl Nation : While We’re Young

  39. Very cool! Haven’t heard of probably half of the band so I will have to check it out! Thanks

  43. Have you tried “Wake” by Hillsong? It’s currently on repeat on my playlist for running. There’s also a remix version of Mandissa’s “Good Morning” that I love.

  44. I don’t have a single favorite song but I do enjoy listening to a Chris Tomlin CD that I have of praise songs.

  45. You are missing something vitally important! “Happy Day” by Jesus Culture. It’s not the gospel song you might be thinking of. This song will make you feel alive and full of joy for what Christ has done! Love it!

  47. I don’t usually listen to music when I workout but maybe I need to start. This could be just what I need. Thanks

  50. I love “Never Once” by Matt Redman.
    “Standing on this mountain top
    Looking just how far we’ve come
    Knowing that for every step
    You were with us
    Kneeling on this battleground
    Seeing just how much You’ve done
    Knowing every victory
    Was Your power in us.”

  51. Thanks for the list! I LOVE so many of those songs! I’m getting ready to start fitness walking and needed a list like this.
    Below is a link to a lip dub video our music ministry put together of the song Good Morning by Mandisa! Enjoy! Thanks for the giveaway!

  53. Favorite workout song…I haven’t worked out for such a long time, I don’t know but when I clean the kitchen I listen to Audio Adrenaline’s Cd, Underdog.

  54. You missed one that needs to be in there. Gods great dancefloor by Chris Tomolin. Wow those are all good songs!!!

  58. This is a great list! Another tip … download the KLOVE app on you phone. Great Christian music!

  65. I have those Mandisa songs on mine, too. Also I have Manafest’s “Avalanche”. And “Eye On It” by TobyMac, and “Lay Down My Pride” by Jeremy Camp.

  69. Bah! How terrible is it that I can’t think of my favorite workout song. I mean, it’s like I’ve not worked out in…a long time. Although I do have to say Mandisa is pretty high on my list right now 🙂

  71. i’m always searching for great christian running songs. here are some of my faves if you need more:
    Get Up by MaryMary, Move by MercyMe, Take Over Me by Sanctus Real, Fire It Up by Thousand Foot Krutch, Keep Your Eyes Open by NEEDTOBREATHE, Stronger by Mandisa, Beautiful You by Trent Monk, Hello My Name Is by Matthew West….can’t wait to check in and get more ideas from you!
    Thanks.

  72. So excited about all the suggestions! I’ve neverheard any of them. I love listening to Kim walker smith! The entire ‘still believe’ album is amazing! !

  73. Good for you!! Keeping at it day after day and month after month is wonderful! I am up and down on the weight–or should I say: Up and Upper. Augh. Need to seriously get back with it. Will go for some of your new music! Thanks.

  77. How do we subscribe!?!? I love these songs! I used to be a Zumba instructor, and tried doing almost, if not all my songs from Christian artists!!! Mandisa’s Good Morning was one of my more beloved choreographed songs that the ladies loved!

  78. I LOVE
    “Let us love” by Needtobreathe!!! and “Hello, my name is” by Matthew West. They make such a good day 🙂
    Or “Gold” by Britt Nicole and “Good Morning” by Jamie Grace.
