There are a number of reports out about people spending too much time on the internet and playing video games. I know I spend a tremendous amount of time on the internet, but I do make sure I get away from my computer and my Blackberry (yes that counts too) and spend quality time with my family. Also it’s important to have time alone to clear my thoughts and refocus and recharge.
Having lost 65 lbs about 2 yrs ago I am constantly battling to keep it off and even though I tend to slack at times (I am up close to 10 lbs at this point). I do find that spending an hour at the gym gives me that time alone to clear my head.
When I am in the office working I may keep my iPod on and with one earpiece in I will listen to interesting podcasts (audiobooks or sermons) but what enables me to clear my head and focus on working out is music.
I decided to put together the ultimate Christian Music workout playlist and I was hoping that people would contribute to the list to help me keep my goals.
Here is the current playlist for my workout. Let me know what you think and feel free to suggest new songs as well.
- Delirious? - Deeper
- newsboys - Belly of the Whale
- FFH - Big Fish
- Brandon Heath - Don’t Get Comfortable
- Britt Nicole - You
- Superchic[k] - We Live
- TobyMac - Made to Love
- TobyMac - Extreme Days
- Matthew West - Next Thing You Know
- Jeremy Camp - Let It Fade
- Rush of Fools - Can’t Get Away
- newsboys - He Reigns
- Brandon Heath - I’m Not Who I Was
- newsboys - The Mission (Go Remix Album Version)
- MercyMe - I Can Only Imagine.

Christopher is a graphic designer, web programmer, photographer, ninja, poet, cat whisperer (though I think my own cats don't speak English) and Christian music fan. I tend to write as it comes out so I keep the editors of this site quite busy. I have the grammar skills of a Nerf football but bear with me it makes sense if you read it over a few times.
That is fantastic! I’ve started listening to Christian music and can’t say that my workout music has quite gotten that far yet. But thanks for the suggestions! I look forward to my next run.
I would suggest Thousand Foot Krutch’s “Move” and “Bounce”, for all around energy. If that’s a bit too loud, then perhaps Geoff Moore and the Distance “Homerun”. It’s a very cool song, even if it’s a bit older.
I think that kirk franklin’s Stomp and Awesome God are great to listen to while working out too
