I am trying to pick more positive music and distance myself from the negative/derogatory lyrics even if I like the beat/hook. An example - I like Lil Wayne's Love Me - but just not a positive song. Not wanting anything about sex, drugs, or anything negative that way. But I need/want upbeat tempo to run/work out with.

Hoping you all can suggest some that are fast tempo to run too. I'm a follower of Christ but it doens't have to be "Christian" music, however - I'd recommend Toby Mac's Eye on It to anyone - it's a great example of what I'm looking for more of.

Suggestions appreciated! Thanks!

    I love anything by Toby Mac (Get back up again, lose my soul, burn for you, etc) to workout to. I like to workout to positive music as well, and really like Christian music. I like Mandesa, old school Mary Mary- Shackles, Kutless, David Crowder, and Jeremy Camp.

    I like to work out to the black eyed peas as well, but really have to check to the lyrics.

    There are a lot of lists online also if you type in positive workout music, or christian workout music.

    I shoudl have included that I also like Matisyahu (ie. Sunshine, One day, etc) but I'm REALLY into Karmin right now (ie Hello, Fish in the Sea, etc) and from what I can tell - fairly positive - at least not out right vulgerness, and pretty positive about empowerment and hard work. They do covers of other music as well and they edit it so there's no profanity - but I much prefer their original stuff. Thought I'd share in case anyone hadn't heard of them.

    Thanks for the ideas - would love more. :happy:
