Motivate Me





I'm in need of some musical motivation while exercising. Right now I'm mainly walking and jogging to work my way up to running for longer periods of time.

My playlist is getting too routine, so I need help finding some tunes to rock my exercise time.

Any suggestions? I'd love to hear 'em!

  1. Walking on Sunshine

    No Speak Americana (or something like that!)

    Kanye West - Golddigger and Stronger (clean versions which are still not great)

    Party Anthem

    Any Man of Mine (Shania Twain)

    and then, sadly, I like lots of other songs that probably aren't doing my soul any good....

  2. I like MGMT's "Kids", and Led Zeplin's "Kashmir" (the guitar riff always picks up my pace a bit). Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire". Katy Perry's "Waking Up in Vegas". Rehab's "Bartender Song". Which has a clean and an unedited version.

  3. beckah shae comes to mind and a lot of stuff by Toby Mac. He has some stuff that isn't played on the mainstream. Dynamite by Taio Cruz. Then you could add in some silly ones like Walk the Dinosaur by Was (not Was), YMCA, the Macarena....

  6. I have a long list of favorites that I use during my half marathons...but do you still prefer Christian music? If so you may not like my list. It's not a list I let the kids listen to:)
