Workout motivation starts with an energizing and uplifting playlist. Here are some of my favorite clean, inspiring and upbeat Christian workout songs!
I’ve been working out more, and have been on the hunt for a solid Christian workout playlist. Unfortunately, a lot of the playlists I came across tended to be on the slower side.
As I’m trying to run at over 6mph, upbeat music is a must to keep me going, so I created my own playlist!
All of the following songs are clean, inspirational and upbeat. Grab your iPod and jam out in your next workout!

What are your favorite songs to work-out to? Any of your favorites on here? Please comment!
Whenever I need a work out I listen to Toby Mac or the Newsboys and maybe Fiddler on the Roof songs like “to life”.
I love Beckah Shae. My favorite songs to work out from her include Life (Le chaim) just like your blog name, Here In This Moment, Gold and well basicly all of her songs! Have you heard of her? http://www.beckahshae.com
Yeah, she guest sings on a tobyMac song 🙂 I’ll look into the two songs you mentioned. thanks!
Thanks for sharing this, Samantha. Most would probably give a funny look when suggesting Christian songs for workout music. But what better way to get motivated to be healthy than with an inspirational song, right?
I used a couple of these songs in the Zumba class I took this fall! It was insane fun 🙂

Mattisyahu has great music for working out – Live like a warrior, Jerusalem, Sunshine… and if you know Hebrew you’ll really appreciate his music. His is a reggae-rap type music, but all of the songs I’ve listened to by him have a religious aspect to them. Not saying all of his songs are that way, but the 15 I’ve listened to are…. 🙂
LOVE Matisyahu! My favorite by him is definitely Miracle…can’t get enough of that song! Also love the ones you mentioned, Jerusalem being my #2 favorite.
And I do think all of his songs have some mention of Judaism or at least obviously come from a strong Jewish perspective.
Thanks for stopping by!
I run to “This is Amazing Grace” by Phil Whickam. It’s my absolute favorite!
[…] Same post, different picture. The last image was the one that really hit it big. The picture was a free professional stock photo from istock.com, (free photo of the week) which I believed REALLY help. It is more simplistic, and less cluttered. […]
I love this!!! I just wanted to suggest “Greater” by Mercyme. It’s one of my new favorites. Thanks for the list!!!
Oh yes, I love that song! I added it. Thanks!
Ill definitely have to add these to my workout playlist! Thanks for the awesome list!!
Just found this wonderful list. Clicked on your playlist for grooveshark to make it simple, but grooveshark just recently shutdown. Will you be putting these songs on another playlist somewhere that you could share with us? Thanks.
Arghh I found out yesterday Grooveshark was down 🙁 I may turn it into a YouTube playlist. 🙂
Hi, thanks for the god job, but where can I download them from? I don’t have an iPhone so I can’t access iTunes
You could create a free YouTube playlist to stream on your computer!
Andy Mineo! You are doing it wrong if he isn’t on your list! Just kidding of course, but his songs are clean, Christian rap that inspires running and movement. I recommend Uno Uno Seis, When the Saints Go Marching, and Ayo!
Ohh the only song I’ve heard from Andy is “Background” with LeCrae! I’ll have to check out the ones you mentioned! thanks!
Have you tried Planetshakers? They do Christian music. A lot of their stuff is awesome to walk/run or workout to.
This is a great list!! I am always looking for great songs to listen to while working out or just working around the house.
Shane and Shane’s Worship Initiate #3 has been played a lot over on our treadmill!
Thanks! I’ll look into it!
Hey Samantha! Thank you so much for compiling this great list of Christian songs to workout to 🙂 I loved it so much that I included you and a link to this list in my most recent post about the importance of fitness for Christian women. I pray that God will continue to use you and your ministry in a way that glorifies Him! Blessings!
Thanks, Becki! 🙂
What a great list of songs! Thank you for this 🙂
