Okay I need advice from those of you who listen to contemporary christian music (mostly the type of music you would hear on KLOVE). I have a hard time keeping with working out because I get bored. So I am working on making a list of songs to listen to while I work out. I need some suggestions! I hope someone out there has some!

    Newsboys:
    Wherever We Go
    Born Again
    Joy
    Spirit Thing
    Million Pieces (Kissing Your Cares Good-bye)
    Shine
    You Are My King (Amazing Love)
    I'm Not Ashamed

    Jars of Clay
    Dead Man (Carry Me)
    All My Tears

    Also Tenth Avenue North:

    Some of the songs are more appropriate for when I'm going slower on the glider or for cool down songs.

    Try some Mandisa. Her whole CD is awesome, but I particularly love Good Morning, Waiting for Tomorrow, and Stronger.

    Here are some other songs on my workout playlist:

    The Afters- Light Up the Sky
    David Crowder- No One Like You....or anything by them really
    Jeremy Camp- Jesus Saves
    Mercy Me- Move
    Andy Cherry- Our God's Alive
    Casting Crowns- What if His People Prayed, Glorious Day...love all of their songs, really!
    Matt Maher- Christ is Risen
    Third Day- This is Who I Am, Tunnel

    Third Day is always in my running playlists. Especially "Come Together", but this is a list of those most often being played while I run.
    - Come Together
    - Get On
    - Surrender
    - This is who I am
    - Slow Down
    - Don't Give up Hope
    - Gone
    - Come on Down

    Also, Jeremy Camp is good for exercise, but I just over-played him a while and haven't had him in the rotation lately. "Understand" would probably be my top pick from him for a playlist.

    I don't know what exactly it is about David Crowder's "How He Loves Us", but it never fails to get me running twice as fast with a stupid smile on my face. (:

    Wow! Awesome. Thank-you for all the amazing suggestions!! I can't wait to try some of the songs and groups out I haven't heard of! It's going to be an amazing workout mix!!!!

    Anything by GRITS or John Rueben would be awesome to work out with. They are both more of the hip hop genre so the songs are really upbeat

    Something a little different you may want to consider is listening to podcasts while you work out. There is plenty of variety so you can probably find something to your liking. And unlike music, which I seem to be able to tune out, podcasts force me to listen and do a better job of taking my mind away from the exercise.

    I can't really recommend any good Christian ones, but I know there are many including ones on Christian music.

    If no one has suggested it, I have Mary, Mary and Grits on my workout playlists.
