Aerobic Praise
I am not one to love Mondays, but I am fully embracing this one. (Monday - Attitude! Right Wising Up girls?) Last week was possibly the longest week of my life and I am happy to say hello to a new one. Curtis, Jackson and I all came down with the stomach bug. Not a blessing. On top of that, for the first time in my life I baked a loaf of bread. A loaf of bread that my dog grabbed off the counter and ate like it was a common Meaty Bone. This is a dog who eats athletic socks. He doesn't exactly have fine taste and my hot loaf of homemade bread was wasted on him in every way. At least I had two pieces before he got to it. Curtis didn't even get to see my loaf of bread, much less taste it. And believe me, I wanted him to tell me how great it was!
I just got an email from Jessica B. from North Carolina. Take a look at what she had to say:
After almost completing the Daniel Study I was led by the Spirit to "clean-up" my iPod playlists and remove the songs that were pure Babylon. Now I have an empty iPod and need suggestions of songs to add from my fellow siestas. I live where there is not a Christian radio station and I need help. I am trying to lose the last of my baby weight and need suggestions to help keep me moving.
Can you help a siesta out? What is one song you could suggest to Jessica? If your favorite has already been said, go with your next favorite!
Beth's suggestion is "Hallelujah Praise" (Hallelujah is the Highest Praise) by CeCe Winans. Mine is "Let God Arise" by Chris Tomlin. I might have to make an "Anything But A Siesta" playlist on my iPod!

He ATE your BREAD?! That is tragic. What a dog.
I did the same thing as you Jessica when I finished Daniel. I got rid of about 1GB of music!!!
I suggest Phil Joel's "Jealous" off of his dilberatePeople album. Actually, the whole CD is good.
I would suggest almost anything from Casting Crowns and Newsboys is good and the cd Live from Cinncinati-Nicole C Mullins. Lisa
anything Dave Crowder, Toby Mac, or Mary Mary
Shakles from Mandisa's new CD, True Beauty.
Testify to Love by Avalon is a personal favorite!
Heather in CA
'O Praise Him' by David Crowder
It'll totally put the pep in your step :) Hehe
How about "Shackles"? That always gets me dancing and I just love Mandisa's version!
Amazing Grace (my chains are gone) by Chris Tomlin
I would just like to put a plug in for the new casting crowns CD. I am loving it!!! I also love Travis, you can't beat him on your ipod!!!
mandissa!!!!!!!!!
Avalon!!!!!!!!!
Casting Crowns!!!!!
Natalie Grant!!!!!!
Meredith Andrews!!!!!!!!!
i totally forgot to tell Jessica that there is actually real aerobic christian musci out there!! it is great - it is what i teach aerobics to. Step aerobics!!
have a great day!
"Made to Love" by Tobymac
You have got to download All Things Are Possible by Darlene Zschech! What a wonderful, motivating, truth-filled song that is.
Nicole C. Mullen - Talk About It (or Say So as my litle ones affectionately call it as they dance around the house)
Hope your family is finally on the mend, Amanda!
Rejoice in the Lord - Israel Houghton and New Breed
"In the Sanctuary" from the Living Proof Live 3 CD, or "He reigns" from the same CD, or "Indescribable" from Chris Tomlin, or "Praise you with the dance" from Casting Crowns. Praise the Lord for allthe awesome Christian priase music that is out there. We are truly blessed by so many great artists whose eyes are on the Lord our God. Hallelujah!
Rebecca, TX
I would suggest anything by Casting Crowns, especially Voice of Truth or Praise You in This Dance. Also, Mandisa's version of Shackles of her True Beauty CD, woo-hoo what a great song to work out to. Praise God for giving us awesome uplifting music!!!
Awaken by Natalie Grant. I listen to it while I work out and it gets me fired up!
I just finished making a CD of Aerobic Praise for our exercise class at church!! There are TONS of good ones. Anything by Hillsong Australia (One Day). My teenager has me liking Relient K (little rocky at first for this 40 something, but some profound words if you listen hard). Try running with your arms up in praise. Others will just think you have a side split! You go girl.
Jessica,
That's great! I think all of our iPods could use a spring cleaning from time to time. Here are some of my favorite songs on my "Workout and Worship" playlist:
* Talk About It (Nicole C. Mullen)
* Sweetly Broken (The Vineyard)
* In the Sanctuary (Kirk Franklin)
* You Don't Have to Hide (Joy Williams)
* Shackles (Mary Mary or Mandisa)
* The Blessing (John Waller)
* Deeper Still (Scott Krippayne)
Ok...I could go on and on, but that's a start. Can't wait to get new recommendations from everyone else.
Oh Amanda...I'm so sorry to hear about the bread! Hope you have some time to make another loaf. I'm sure it will be just as good as the first one. Just remember to keep it hidden from the dog!!
As far as songs for the ipod, I think I could give you a list a mile long. Anything from Mandisa's new CD True Beauty is great...especially "Only the World" and "Shackles"!
Our group is ready to start Session 7 of Daniel and it has been an incredible study so far. We can hardly wait for what is to come. I just have to thank Beth for challenging us to be deliberate about keeping ourselves from being endoctrinated by our Bablyon culture.
Blessings to you both today.
I just downloaded "Redeemer" by Nicole C. Mullen. Wow, it's the live version from Cincinnati. It makes my feet fly on the treadmill!
Have a wonderful day!
Joanne
Anything by Nicole C. Mullen Rocks - beautiful voice, lyrics, and upbeat tempo keeps me moving - (and when I drive - my hands can't stop keeping beat on the steering wheel!) You go girl - I am so proud of you for leaving the other tunes to be forgotten - (Garbage in equals Garbage out) - I hope you find many songs to keep you on track! God Bless you for taking a stand!
One of my faves to listen to while running is Yahweh by U2. Some may not consider that to fall under this category and I want to be sensitive to that, but it's just a suggestion. Another one I like is "Meant to Live" by Switchfoot. I'll definitely be looking back at this post to see what others suggest so I may add to my playlist.
"From The Inside Out" from the album MIGHTY TO SAVE by Hillsong. (It is SO hard to list just one!) ENJOY Siestas!
the Texas girl on a mission in Alabama!
love most everything off of Kirk Franklins Hero cd. Also, I try to listen to most CeCe really pumped up songs for working out. Then a lot of the WOW christian cds have a lot of good fast beats for aerobics.
I am in the middle of trying to sort out my mp3. As much as I like my "dance funk" play list, I don't feel that there is anything redeeming about it.
My "worship workout" playlist includes some of these....
O Praise Him, David Crowder
Everything Glorious, David Crowder
She Shall Go Free, Derek Webb
Praise you in this, storm Casting Crowns
A lot of Third Day
also Toby Macs latest cd is so good for aerobics!
I would say "Hosanna" by Hillsong or anything by Nicole C. Mullens
I just saw Steven Curtis Chapman here in CA last night and ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING he sings would be great for ipod listening. I will suggest "You are being loved" and "Miracle of the Moment" off his latest album.
Side note: I am new to the LPM blog and am tickled to pieces getting to know you through it!
Anything by Bill & Gloria Gaither would head my list. "Because he Lives", "Let's Just Praise the Lord," "Something Beautiful" (my husband's and my 25th anniversary song... long praise testimoney with that one), so many more I can't think of right now.
I vote for "Freedom" by Darrell Evans
Well, since I cannot see any other comments yet and I am the first as far as I can tell. I am throwing out Toby Mac-anything by him is good for getting your jam on! :)
Congrats to you! I am so proud of you in making this decision. You will not regret it girl! I am lifting a prayer for you now. All these siesta's here will have many great selections. I love how God provides great Christian artists that you can groove to. Praise Him!
Much love,
Angela
Amanda,
Just wanted to comfort you in the "dog eating" my little Bischon eats EVERYTHING, smelly socks, underwear, furniture, paper, ANYTHING!! We have to keep everything up. Make that bread again and hide it. I am sure it was good!!
God Bless you Friend
Kelly from Va
Oh my, thinking of one is OH so hard to do. But, for the working out time, I would suggest Shackles by Mary Mary!! GREAT work out song. :)
Hope this list helps. I too am glad to see what some other siestas have to say out there!!
Lindsee
I kid you not, I did the same exact thing about a year ago, getting rid of the garbage on my IPOD, and it made such a difference. It turned my work-out time into Praise Time! "Made to Love You" by Toby Mac is an absolute MUST!!!! Also, "Ignite" by him is good, but I usually have to turn the volume down a touch b/c of acoustics on it.
well, i love kirk franklin, Rebecca St. James and monk and Neagle! there all wonderful!
Mighty to Save by Hillsong
AND
Take All of Me by Hillsong United
No fun Amanda! I'm so glad you're feeling better. My boys and I came down with a really bad cold (my 15 mo old had CROUP!!) and they are finally on the mend. Praise Him!!! It's so exhausting, isn't it? As for our siesta, Jess, I would recommend anything on Natalie Grant's "Held" CD b/c there's so much upbeat music. And I know someone is going to recommend our friend Travis, right? Way to go siestas!
I just noticed you wanted aerobic music. Gaithers aren't quite aerobic. I think I'm showing my age too, alot of the artists mentioned I'm not familiar with them. Gaithers are still good though. ;)
"God Speaking" from Mandisa's new album is one of my favorites right now, it is an awesome song!
Amanda, So sorry about the bread--nothing better than a loaf of fresh homemade bread. Unfortunately, now that darling dog has a taste for your yummy, homemade bread. Better make sure it is FAR AWAY from him next time :-)
My favorite "cleaing the house" CD is Avalon's Greatest Hits. I haven't found anything that good in a long time! I also thought of "Take It All" by Hillsong. That would get anybody going!
I pray you are all better now.I have a new Lab (black her name Zoey)is 4 months old, most likley will be doing things like that, right now I am chaseing this dog to get things out of her mouth, shes wrose than either of my grown kids & my grandchildren,but I love it. as for songs I wish I had a i pod but dont, hear is a song I love Amazing Grace(my Chains are Broken) by Chris Tomlin, all so a song called Me & God ,dont know whom sings it.I am from NC all so. God bless you all sister in Christ Victoria Have a great week
Victory Chant by Nicole C. Mullins
He Reigns by Newsboys
Third Day. SO many great Christian artists and songs!
I would like to suggest... and I bet I will getting a resounding AMEN when I recommend, "In Christ Alone/Solid Rock" by Travis Cottrell. I need at least a weekly fix of that song at full volume!
Mandisa! Her brand new album moves and grooves! :)
Toby Mac.
Kirk Franklin - Hero is the BEST!
Hillsong United
Marc Wymore
Kim Hill
I call my playlist "Go Praise"
You have already listed a lot of my favorites...
How about "Boomin" Toby Mac's Portable Sounds cd....love it (and Mandisa sings on it!)
Joyce
Sweet Amanda...
I feel your pain about the bread. I have a 6 year old lab that is part of the family. She is very well behaved except if there is food on the kitchen cabinet she is going to nab it! Maybe you could throw out the question to our Siesta's for advice on how to break that?
Blessings
DeeDee
My suggestion is With You by Mark Willard off of the Facing The Giants soundtrack.
Try "Gone" by Switchfoot. You've got to jump around when that song comes on!
I can't believe that dog of yours but you know it must of been good. You'll just have to make another and lock the sweet doggy out! LOL Right now I am listening to the new release from Casting Crowns and I am absolutely loving it! I just like that group. :0) \o/\o/\o/
Chris Tomlin's "Arriving" CD..alll of it :)
Alright--CeCe Winans
Point of Grace. Watermark. Selah.
I would down load anything by
Mercy Me, Sarah Groves, or a fairly new artist named Jason Grey. Also she should check out some of the great Christian radio stations you can get on line. Start listening and see what you like.
Great iPod workout songs...
So Long Self by Mercy Me
Majestic by Lincoln Brewster
Beautiful One by Jeremy Camp
How Can I Keep from Singing by Chris Tomlin
Awesome is the Lord Most High by Chris Tomlin
The Other Side by Avalon
Love Won't Leave You by Avalon
Shine and Breakfast by the Newsboys
Strong Tower by Kutless
One Way and Everyday by Hillsong
These are not only upbeat, but filled with truth and power! Have Fun!
Any music by Chris Tomlin, Casting Crowns, Michael W Smith, Kari Jobe
Have a blessed day
Wow...where to begin! So much great music out there. First, you should be able to access klove.com, a christian station that broadcasts online too. I also keep an eye on twenty the countdown, to see what the top christian hits of the week are. You can also check what are the most popular downloads in christian music too...maybe something you haven't heard.
Specifically though...
Switchfoot - This is your Life
multiple others too
Shane and Shane have a lot of great ones...
Mercy Reigned
We are Hungry
My fav now though has been Bethany Dillon. Amazing talent for such a young lady. She has two albums out. So many favorites...
The Way I See You
Great Big Mystery
Exodus
When You Love Someone
Hero
She has a lot of great slower pieces too...great for those more peaceful moments too.
Enjoy...you will be blessed as you feed your soul so deeply with the truth of words grounded in Him!
Any of the WOW dvds are great too...a lot of different artists...top hits of the year. :)
Pretty much anything from Chris Tomlin. I really LOVE the song "How Can I keep from Singing?" by him. I also LOVE Travis. And I also just got the new "Women of Faith" cd, Amazing Freedom. It had LOTS of GREAT songs on it.
Glad you're feeling better Amanda,
Kristi
Amen on the Kirk Franklin's Hero... that will get you moving.
My favorite praise song is still Michael W. Smith's Breathe.
I am uncertain about the title and the artist, but the first line of the song says something like "Take the Shackles Off My Feet So I can dance"
I recommend "God is in Control" and "You Raise Me Up" on the Sheila Walsh disc "You Raise Me Up". The whole disc is great, but those are my favorites! :)
Amy Stroup - you can find her on itunes!
or at amystroup.com
Mercy Me Their 1st CD is wonderful.
God does take control of our lives doesn't he. I use to go to the movies all the time not anymore. I don't want to grieve the Holy Spirit
Amen Sister for cleaning up your tunes! Liz
I echo whoever mentioned the WOW CDs. Usually one of the two discs is really upbeat. I still play WOW 2000 every time I clean the house.
Some other faves are:
Toby Mac's "Irene" and "Burn For You"
David Crowder Band's "You Are My Joy"
Love your blog, but don't think I've ever commented. I had to get in on this one though. One of my favorite "new" (to me) songs is not new really, but I heard about it on a post sort of like this that Boomama did this summer. It's "Victory" by Yolanda Adams. Mmmhmm! Love me some Victory!
David Crowder: "Open Skies," "No One Like You"
"Mighty to Save" by Hillsong
"God Speaking" by Mandisa
Every single bit of the latest Monk & Neagle and Shane & Shane CD's. And Bethany Dillon.
Oh, and Casting Crowns' latest, too.
But other than that I have no opinion at all on this subject.
Superchick - "We Live" awesome beat for walking
Group 1 Crew - about anything of theirs especially "Love is a beautiful thing"
Agree with anything Kirk Franklin especially "Revolution" WOOWOO!!! (still have a hard time visualizin' Ms. Beth warmin up to that! loved that Life Today series last week, totally cracked me up!!)
LOVE most anything by Third Day. Also, Barlow Girl and Casting Crowns and Jeremy Camp. Check out
"I'm Not Who I Was" by Brandon Heath
"Is it Any Wonder" by Nichole Nordeman
Ginny Owens has some I like too. (Of course I like tons...trying to keep it short and not repeat others')
Great idea for a post, Amanda! Hope you're all feeling well soon!
My dog steals bread from the counter too, while my back is turned putting another loaf in the oven...at my weight, that could be a good thing!
Tell our precious Siesta...anything by:
Michael W Smith
Third Day
MercyMe
Annette
I also wanted to suggest she check out online radio if possible since there are no Christian stations there.
www.klove.com and www.sosradio.net are a couple. You can listen online and I think one of them shows the last few songs they played...give you and idea of songs to check out.
For an upbeat tempo suggestion, I have to tell you one of my favorites:
"You Are Good" by Israel Houghton and New Breed.
We've sang it at Living Proof Live events I've been too. (BTW Beth, you're praise team at the LPL events I've been too is absolutely fabulous! Travis and the team do an excellent job!) I have it on a CD a friend of mine let me borrow. I find it very difficult to not break out into a dance with this one! Whenever I hear this song, there's usually at least some part of my body moving even if it's just my feet (usually more than my feet though!) :)
Karen
http://thetagblog.blogspot.com/
let me suggest the up and coming artist: daniel doss band.
check them out at www.myspace.com/danieldossband
they will have new releases out on iTunes on Nov. 6th!!!
Anything by Hillsong United! Wonderful praise to get you moving!
Nicole C Mullen - Freedom Dance
Steven Curtis Chapman - Dive
Selah - You Raise me Up (a good cool down song)
Chris Tomlin - Wait upon the Lord, Not to Us
Travis Cottrell - My Passion
4 Him - The Message
FFH - Ready to Fly
Newsboys - Shine
City on a Hill - God of Wonders
Mary Mary - Shackles
Charlie Hall - Better is One Day in Your House
New Young Messiah - HalleluYah Chorus
Shackles, In the Sanctuary by Travis Cottrell. He and his group is totally awesome...
We loved them at Deeper Still - Nashville...
Amanda--I've so been there with the dog. Here's my trick--next time, put the bread on the cooling rack in the microwave. It will cool and still be protected. :) My new micro is above my stove, so I can leave the door open if I want while it cools...but I used to the same thing when I had a counter top model. Our black lab has eaten so many "treats" not meant for her! Praise the Lord y'all are feeling better. (Y'all? You Southern gals are breaking this Minnesotan down!)
I've got lots of fav music, but a lot have already been posted..
"The Purest Place" CD by Watermark; it's wonderful!
How about Aeisha Woods - You Make Me Happy, and the one she sings with Toby Mac; Big Enough.
Oh my goodness...where do I start?
Watermark...Purest Praise
Christ Tomlin...Arriving
Passion Worship
Nichole Nordeman anything...especially Woven and Spun
Amy Grant...Legacy, Hymns of Faith
Chris Rice
I so love music. My favorites are:
1. Anything Casting Crowns (the new CD is amazing)!!!!
2. Mercy Me
3. 3rd Day
I am a huge Bebo Norman & Jeremy Camp fan! You can go wrong with any song on their cd's - you just pop it in and can hit reply - you won't get sick of them - I promise!
Anything by Switchfoot or Lifehouse.
I highly suggest In Christ Alone. Actually the first time I heard this was at one of Beth's conferences. It ministers to me alot.
I have what I call mini concerts with the Lord all the time. I can't sing and I am glad that He does not care about that.
Love you all,
Lyn
I love Ginny Owens and Shane and Shane! The words are amazing and I feel so free to worship the Lord! Enjoy!
My family really enjoys the Apologetix. They have re-done all my favorite old rock and roll songs with Christian Words. For instance "Old Time Rock and Roll" becomes "Old Time Roman Road" and "My Sharona" is now "Babylona." They are really very good and its having your cake and eating it too.
I also love Mark Shultz "I Am".
Awww....that's too bad about the bread! You'll have to try again.
One time when I was first married I made some biscuits and I forgot an ingredient or got something mixed up??? Those things were so hard. Our dogs wouldn't, or couldn't even eat them. :)
I just bought a Joel Engle cd "Made For Worship." All of the songs are great, but there are three that I listen to over and over...."Louder Than the Angels" "Shadow of Your Cross" and "I Bow Down."
Anything by Twila Paris, her lyrics are Spirit-inspired. Also, "Run to the Battle" by Steve Camp, I was meditating on those lyrics last night.
I'm probably showing my age with these suggestions.
Oh no, hope you are feeling better soon from the attack of the stomach bug. Sorry to hear about the bread too. I bet your house smelled wonderful though. My two goldens ate my dinner the other night too I saw it all in slow-mo and yelled no and stop with no luck.
Maybe our Siesta friend Jessica would like to listen to KLOVE.com's music online to get a feel for what she likes? I just checked there and they also have a list of top songs, lyrics, and artists and samples! I love After Your Heart by Phil Wickham and God With Us by Mercy Me and the iWorship CDs.
Toby Mac is always good for upbeat music to groove around to... but right now I am in love with the song "Not who I was" by Brandon Heath.
Way to remind us all that we need to live differently than the rest of the world in this Babylon!
In Christ Alone by Avalon! When Jesus is "bursting forth", I about elliptical myself prematurely straight into heaven!!!!!!!!!
And, I must say our own (and I do claim him as my own) Travis Cottrel's version of Annie's Song is about the most phenomenal rendition of anything.... (It's on iTunes!)
This is a GREAT post Amanda...I'll really bulk up my playlist with stuff now!
So sad about your tummy bug and the bread!! Glad you guys are feeling better!
Here are a few fun songs that
I love when I am grooving with my King:
Lincoln Brewster "Majestic" and "Everyday"
Anthony Evans " I Choose Now"
David Crowder "Here Is Our King"
Gateway Worship "The Lord Reigns"
Kari Jobe "No Sweeter Name" and "Revelation Song"
"All My Life" by Parachute Band
"Everybody Praise the Lord" by Lincoln Brewster
Happy, Happy Listening!
Jessica B.,
Some of my favorite Contemporary Christian songs are:
"Light of the World," by Watermark.
"Day by Day," by Point of Grace.
"I'm Not Listening," by Tammy Trent.
God Bless,
Chelsea
Try Aaron Shust. His music is amazing. He was New Artist of the year. He has out two cd's out now. He is opening for Natalie Grant at a concert here in December. We are thrilled!
God Bless.
Third Day - Cry Out to Jesus
Try Aaron Shust. His music is amazing. He was New Artist of the year. He has out two cd's out now. He is opening for Natalie Grant at a concert here in December. We are thrilled!
God Bless.
Big Daddy Weave - Fields of Grace.
and anything by Todd Agnew -- maybe won't give your body a workout, but it will give your heart one!
here goes Jessica:
integrity's i worship/platinum 2 disc cd set
songs that move:
everyday - hillsong united
i am free - newsboys
God will lift up your head - jars of clay
blessed be your name - robin mark
friend of God - israel & new breed
glorious - martha munizzi
arise - don moen
also check out open the eyes of my heart 2 cd set.
I love these suggestions! One artist I haven't seen mentioned is Ayiesha Woods. I just saw her at a Revolve conference. Let me tell you, SHE is the reason God brought me there! This is a woman totally sold out to our LORD! If you can hear her song "Beauty" without dancing, I don't know what to say to you. Oh, and "Happy" will definitely put a pep in your step. Seriously, check out her music. http://www.myspace.com/ayieshawoods
Check out "Starfield" too. They are awesome!
http://www.myspace.com/starfield
Of course, my favorite will always be Travis! ;-)
Thank the Lord there are so many Christian songs of all styles for us to enjoy!
In the upbeat category, I like "Majestic" by Lincoln Brewster, "On my Lips" and "The Whole Earth" by Ross Parsley, "What I was Made For' by Big Daddy Weave and, of course, some Travis Cottrell! There really are some great CDs like WOW and Absolute Worship,Christian Rock/Pop that are compilations of different artists.
For Christmas, I love "Not A Silent Night" by T.R.U.T.H.!
What fun to have a siestas playlist!
-"Praise you with a Dance" Casting Crowns
-"Steal My Joy" & "Shackles" Mandisa
-"I'll Fly Away" Avalon
-"Waking Up" Bethany Dillon
-"Beauty of Grace" Krystal Meyers
-"How Great Thou Art" Brooklyn Tab
-"Dancing Generation" & "Happy Day" Tim Hughes
...ahhh there are so many...
If you likea good beat, hip hop, I would suggest anything by The Cross Movement Hip Hop artists, like The Ambassador, etc. They are awesome and can really get you moving.
I have a hard time finding Christian music I like, actually, as I cam from a secular background and was a bit of a music snob as it was. But I really enjoy Keith Green, Oldie but truly Goodie, and a Canadian christian artist, Steve Bell, is amazing.
Also, if classic rock is your thing, Bob Dylan became a believer in the 70s and put out two amazing, truly rocking Christian albums, Saved and Slow Train Coming. Unfortunately, since then Bob seems to have walked away from the faith, although he has never denounced Christ so let's keep praying!
Here are some of my favorites - some are fun to "move" to - others are "fall on your knees" to. Here they are:
Days of Elijah from album Beth Moore presents Voices of the Faithful
God is Great from Travis Cottrell
Alive Forever Amen from Travis Cottrell
Hiding Place from Sara Groves
Here in Your Presence from New Life Worship
More and More from Michael Neale
My Savior Lives from New Life Worship
Revelation Song from Gateway Worship
Overtaken from Gateway Worship
Break Through from Tommy Walker
We will Remember from Tommy Walker
Glory Revealed from Candi Pearson Shelton
Jesus Lover of My Soul from Shelley Nirider
Jesus What a Beautiful Name from Tanya Riches
I Bles Your Name from The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir
Oh, how I could go on!! I love, love, love worship music!!
Thanks, everyone, for sharing your favorite music - can't wait to check them out!
Glad you and your family are feeling better, Amanda! Stay well!!
Blessings upon Blessings to you and yours!!
Anything from Carmen. He will get your heart pumping listening to him while working out. Don't forget Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith. Randy Travis has 3 Christian albums out. Alan Jackson-Precious Memories-all hymns.
One thing you can do is go to Yahoo's Launchcast and under the radio station guide there is a christian section, with contemporary and christian rock lists. If you click on one of those and bring up the player you can fast forward through all the songs and actually listen quickly to ones that you can get your God groove on, make a list then download from whereever you download from, such as ITunes. I find more music that way from artists I dont really know, than I ever would anywhere else.
Nothing like a good run fueled by some encouraging Christian music! Get it girl!!
Try these...
King - Audio Adrenaline
All I Need - Bethany Dillon
Brave - Nichole Nordeman
Imagine Me - Kirk Franklin
Say Goodbye - Joy Williams
Anything by Eleven Eleven and Dave Crowder Band!
"I Have to Beleive" by Rita Springer!!! A Must!!!
I'm saying anything by 33 Miles for a country sound and Rush of Fools for a pop sorta sound. Of course keep in mind that I'm 46 so my music taste may be a little lame, but these are both very new groups and current. Sorry about the bread...dogs are amazing creatures!
"Brave," by Nichole Nordeman. Any time I play that song in our house, my 4-year-old daughter comes into the room and says, "Dance, Mommy, dance!" And we have to do a mother-daughter dance.
I love almost anything by Nichole Nordeman. Not all of it is workout music, but it is GOOD. My favorite song of hers right now is "Sunrise."
I am totally in love with "In the Sanctuary" on the LPL CD and "Do you want a revolution" by Kirk Franklin! Whoop Whoop :) I feel like dancing!
Hi Amanda,
Poor you!! I know that making bread is like cultivating a fine work of art. Sorry that that your pooch got a hold of it. Our dog has done the same ... and withheld compliments too! I'm sure your bread was delicious. :)
Jessica -
Have you tried to logon to www.ksbj.org? That's a Christian radio station that you can listen to over the internet. They have an awesome feature where you can download the songs you hear, for a fee of course, but you there's a lot available.
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned Chris Rice, but he has some great Christian music. I have all of his CD's.
KLOVE.com, sister. KLOVE.com. Could not live without KLOVE in my area but you can listen online and also download songs. Happy Praisin'
"Love Song for a Savior" by Jars of Clay
One of the first songs I absolutely loved as a new Christian back in ....'97:)
katie g from TN
My favorite to work out to is "He Reigns/Awesome God" by Kirk Franklin and Papa San.......you can't help but move and praise Him!!
Toby Mac!!!! Very fun to get you moving! My favorite is "Burn For You". Superchick, Newsboys, Needtobreath "Shine On", Ayiesha Woods "Happy" and "Beauty".
I am way too indecisive to decide on another song, but really wanted to send my condolences about the bread! I would have been so very sad. I'm glad you at least got to eat a little of it and hope you try again! Well, my son is telling me our dog (who lives OUTside) is in the kitchen so I'm gonna go make sure the same thing doesn't happen to me, though I don't have any homemade bread to protect at the moment. oh well!
"Lord, Your Holy" by Helen Baylor
A must have.
LeCrae--- It has the most upbeat/rap songs but it is straight scripture! It is awesome!
Shackles...by Mandisa
Amanda! So glad you and yours are on the mend! I'm so sorry you all had to go through that! Ick ick!
For our siesta Jessica B...
My workout faves are:
"This Good Day" by Fernando Ortega (a great one to kick things off with)
"Revive Us" by Anointed (get ready to JAM, sister)
"Beautiful One" by By The Tree
"Cry For Love" by Michael W Smith
"I Am The Way" by Mark Schultz
"Brave" by Nichole Nordeman
And for warm-up and cool-down, ANY of Nichole Nordeman's ballads. Especially, "Every Season", "Finally Free", and "I Am".
Go get `em girl!
Kristin in Austin
Third Day's Offering CD is really good (especially the title track) and Travis Cottrell's The Lamb Has Overcome CD is AWESOME! Bless you, sister, for DELIBERATELY resisting this rotten world and turning your life and everything in it over to a mighty God who will never disappoint! Oh Praise Him!
My sisters dog one time ate a whole loaf of bread dough! It rose in his stomach....groaning sounds could be heard...
I am doing Thanksgiving dinner for the first time this year...my parents both passed this summer and everyone is coming to my house..pray for me! I have never turned on my oven! Seriously in over 7 years!
I would say anything Gaither or Travis Cotrell
What a great way to share our musical tastes!! I find myself wanting "one more lap" just to hear the next praise tune on my iPod!!
Current favorites:
"Take Me In" - Kutless - great warm-up
"Word of God Speak" - Kutless
(really, anything by Kutless - they are awesome!)
Burlap to Cashmere - really upbeat and perfect to dance to!
WOW Hymns CD - some incredible songs there
My iPod is full of everything Third Day, Newsboys, Chris Tomlin, Todd Agnew, Aaron Shust
The list goes on and on...
Hi siesta,
Anything by Starfield or Downhere is fabulous! But to be specific...
Revolution by Starfield
Little Is Much by Downhere
For cooldown
When I See you Again by Mark Schultz
Held by Natalie Grant...
All awesome songs!!!
Julie B Tucson
I am so glad you posted this question. I love christian music and I am always looking for new songs to listen to. Some of the ones I like that I don't see mentioned yet are Shane and Shane and the Glory Revealed cd, I like them because they take scripture verses and put them into song.
One of my new faves that I have never heard before is FFH's "Voice from Heaven" cd. The whole cd is sung from God's perspective, so I like to listen to it and think of God singing it straight to me, I also like the different sound they have.
I also highly recommend Ce Ce Winans as well, you can't help but move your feet to the "Halelujah is the highest praise", "Anybody wanna pray with me?", and "I pray, you pray, we pray" songs.
Broken by Jeremy Riddle
Also, Leslie Sansone....Walk Away The Pounds (an in home walking program.) I lost 18 pounds doing that. She also has a book, Getting Fit with Faith.
Good luck!
Lisa, IL
I have a "Get Movin" playlist on my ipod. There is NOTHING like my pretend BFF Mandisa to get me moving. Shackles, Never Gonna Steal My Joy, and Only the World are perfection. And I love Steven Curtis Chapman's "I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)", too. It makes me feel like my 500 miles on the elliptical is easy as pie.
also Jars of Clay's Redemption Songs disc and As previously mentioned, U2's "Yahweh"!
Naughty dog! Our two dogs were bad the other day too. Our new puppy, Miley, grabbed a new package of tortillas off of the counter (she's the tall one) and shared with our little guy, Scooby. A couple of days later, they shared four containers of nacho cheese! I'm sure your second loaf of bread will be as good as the first one. To be on the safe side, maybe you should take a picture of it in case it disappears off of the counter again!
In the Sanctuary-Travis Cottrell/Living Proof Live 3(The Lamb has Overcome). I dare you to try and stay still during that song. The whole CD is filled with great worship songs.
Annette
blessed be your name by matt redman
love it. especially when i am mad about something. it makes me get over it fast.
For a great new band out there called Leland. Amazing!!!! Especially a song called "carried to the table"
Tabitha
Any thing by Chris Tomlin
Passion CDs or Passion Worship Band
"Fields of Grace" Darrell Evans
"Friend of God" Michael Gungor
"I Heard the Sound of Voices"
Robin Mark
these are just a few from my ipod list and I do encourage our siesta to try listening on line...there is a lot of great music out there that does feed our spirit...and I agree that what you put in is what is going to come out
Can't go wrong with: Travis Cottrell, Kirk Franklin, Chris Tomlin...all wonderful and different (from a fellow North Carolinian siesta).
I have tons of Chris Tomlin on my MP3 player and I think I'm going to add some Rita Springer songs next. She's great!
You'll be so blessed by clearing out your iPod! Way to go1
Don't have time to scroll down the suggestions, but my favorite is:
"YOUR GRACE IS ENOUGH" by Chris Tomlin.
Blessings,
Paulette
My absolute favorite right now is the CD "In Christ Alone" by Keith and Kristyn Getty. Every song on the CD is wonderful!!! :o)
Hi Amanda. Love your blogs. I have two albums that I suggest Jessica download: Travis Cottrell's Alive Forever and Unashamed. If I had to pick one song it would be In Christ Alone by Travis Cottrell.
Hugs and Blessings
Rosie in MN
I love all of Jars of Clay's music-- Revolution would be a good workout song. I would also recommend Chris Tomlin, Chris Rice, David Crowder, Shawn McDonald, MercyMe, and Jeremy Camp. Superchick has a few fun songs too.
The Best of Passion (So Far)
Passion: Everything Glorious
(esp "Our God Reigns")
Emmy : )
Travis's CD "The Lamb Has Overcome" is excellent. Someone else mentioned Travis's CD of the LPL music. Oh my yes!
I love to run to Christian music of all types. For praise I like Hillsong, Travis, or sometimes I go "old school" with Petra Praise "I Will Call Upon the Lord."
For Christian Rap, LaCrae is great; I love "Breathe In Breathe Out". "The Slam" by Toby Mac is also motivating.
Christian Rock, Thousand Foot Krutch "Move" will really get ya goin'!
I also like the compilation CDs WOWs and for Christian Rock X2006, X2007.
Hope this helps!
Beth, I also have a variation on praise dancing that my girls (ages 6 and 4) came up with. It is called "Freeze Praise Dancing." It is best to have 3 participants as one can man the pause button on the CD player. The other two dance until the music is paused. Then they have to freeze into position until music has begun again. We have tons of fun praising and dancing together!
This is my first "official" contribution to the blog and I want y'all to know that I am really encouraged through it!
Thanks,
allyson
I am looking at my favorite Christian ipod playlist right now. Some of my very favorite artists are Phillips, Craig, and Dean, Christy Nockels (Watermark), Selah, Chris Tomlin, 4Him, and Avalon. Some peppy songs that someone could do aerobics to are You by Britt Nichol, Trumpet of Jesus by Imperials (super old but great beat for aerobics), Screen Door by Rich Mullins (really fun song), Red Letter Day by Newsong, I Wonder by Joy Williams, Everlasting God by Chris Tomlin or Licoln Brewser (they're both great),
And, some just plain great songs are Knees to the Earth by Watermark, We are the Reason by Avalon (great remake of an old song and wonderful words), It is well with my Soul by 4Him, When God Ran by Phillips, Craig, and Dean, Held by Natalie Grant, God Bless the Broken Road by Geoff Moore, Dancing with the Angels by Monk and Neagle...okay, I could go on and on and on. I LOVE music!!! I better stop. I recently cleaned up my ipod, too. :)
Absolutely ANYTHING by Kathy Troccoli
"Not to Us" by Chris Tomlin
"Calling for a Flood" by John Waller
"Sunday" by Tree63
Anything off the Newsboys "Go" CD will get you moving!
Oh, I wanted to tell you that I have a golden retriever, too, and one day I boiled some chicken for a casserole. I decided to go on a walk while I let it cool and when I came back, all the pieces at the front of the countertop were gone...Charlie Bear got them!!! I didn't think there was any way he could reach them, but he sure did. He also got to the turkey that was in the sink thawing one Thanksgiving. You gotta love those goldens!
oH BOY! I just got the iworship 24:7 CD's and LOVE the songs!! All of them. have fun building the ipod list!!
I echo the WOW CDs!!

"Stomp" by Kirk Franklin
Oh my...anything Kirk Franklin--especially "Hosanna"! And "Redeemer" and "Steal My Joy" by Mandisa.
Not sure if it's been mentioned yet... "The Real Me" by Natalie Grant!
I've also gotten some songs from the list, but haven't looked through them all. Have a great blessed aerobic time!

(as I am currently not updating my blogger account)
I like "Pour my love on you" by Phillips, Craig and Dean.
Oh my goodness, yes. Well, I am going to share two. These are my two favorites to hear our sisters sing out at our Tuesday morning Sister's meeting:
Indescribable by Avalon
You Are Holy (Prince of Peace) by Michael W Smith
Both these and alot more can be found on the WOW Worship Aqua Cd
Enjoy!!!! God is so Awesome!!!!
Kate in Charlottesville
Natalie Grant - In Better Hands
Amanda,
I am glad to hear you are all feeling better :)
Praise God for Beth's Daniel study!! It did a lot for me also. A great reminder to not conform to this world.
Currently I am listening to WOW WORSHIP, it is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!
I love the song by Matt Redman, "Blessed Be The Name".
Toby Mac, CeCe Winans, & Kirk Franklin will get you movin'! You Go Girl!
Linda V ~ Las Vegas
Thanks for all the suggestions. I have been adding music to my new laptop today and you gave me some great suggestions too!!!
Amanda, I can honestly say that my little Jack Russell Terrier hasn't eaten anything off the counter even though he could jump up there if he wanted to. However, he did get stuck in the tall trash can all day until my son came home and "rescued him." Funny little guys aren't they???
Watermark
Old School Caedmon's Call
Natalie Grant
You'll love them!
Check out two different people or maybe three...
Shaun Groves
Spur58 (I know them in real life and LOVE them)
Shawn McDonald (my friends met him in real life at an airport and he had written all over himself and they had to ask why and he said he had song ideas and no where to write them so he wrote them on his arms and legs...he was funny) he is an amazing artist!!!
Good luck! :)
OOOO I forgot my favorite song right now:
Days of Elijah
Personally, I like the cedarmont kids version right now. It is amazing!!
Wow, lots of great songs already, but here are a few more from my ipod workout list...
All over the World and
Blessed be Your Name both by Tree63
Burn for You by Tobymac
Everlasting God by Lincoln Brewster
Give You Glory by Jeremy Camp
Happy by Ayiesha Woods
How Can I keep from Singing
by Chris Tomlin
Those are just a few of my favorites!! Happy Walking!!
Glad you and the family are feeling better Amanda!
Barlow Girl and Superchick are great get moving music, and the lyrics speak well to girls and women dealing with any self doubt issues.
First, let me say I'm so impressed you tried homemade bread! I'm trying to work up my courage to do that.
What a fun topic. I'm looking forward to checking out some of the songs listed.
The song that gets me (and the kids) moving (I cannot be still when it's playing!) is Selah's version of "By & By" on their Greatest Hymns CD. LOVE it.
This past June I went to the Women of Faith Conference in Ft Lauderdale and heard Ayiesha Woods. She was amazing. She had just released her debut album and I bought it on itunes and love it. It had become my girls (7 and 11 years old) fav but their mother loves it to. Also heard Beth that weekend and she was so annointed. I think it was the red shoes that did it. Also ditto all of CAsting Crowns music.
Happy Day by Steve Fee! It is an upbeat song that puts a swing in your step and truth in your heart! A great combo!
"Undo Me" by Jennifer Knapp is an all time favorite.
Thanks for some of the other suggestions ladies!
Amazing how the Lord works in us. I did something similar as far as cleaning out. Where I work, our christian radio stations do not come in clear, so I use my computer to listen. Tune into www.wordfm.org. Great music. The Calvary Connection with Skip Heitzig comes on at 1pm. Another station www.wjtl.com, (Lancaster) again, great music. they have a play list on their website of the last 500 songs played, and that is how i learned of some of these great christian artist. God Bless,
Jeannie, Mechanicsburg, PA
Oh to list just one...that's hard! :)
Christ for the Nations...I love their music but Revelation Song is my favorite by them.
I also will say my all time favorite song is Nicole C. Mullin's Call on Jesus.
Another get up and go song is Can't Stop Talking by Darlene Zschech.
Good luck filling your iPod...there are some fantastic songs out there!! A suggestion...when you're looking up the songs already mentioned look and see what iTunes gives as "listeners also bought" to the right. You'll find more you can peruse that way too. *smile*
Hugs and Blessings!
Retro Mom
Steven Curtis Chapman has some great blood-pumping numbers on his last few CDs.
My favorites:
From "Speechless"
"Dive," "Whatever," and "I Do Believe." (The last one is particularly great after the Believing God study.)
From "Declaration"
"Live Out Loud," "Jesus Is Life," "See the Glory," "Bring It On," and "Declaration of Dependence."
You also can't go wrong with the Newsboys greatest hits CD -- or their latest release. It has tons of techno-sounding rock and roll. Great workout music that does double duty.
worshipping one......just read your suggestion.....IN CHRIST ALONE/ON THE SOLID ROCK - TOTALLY MY FAVORITE!!! I will go deaf one day from turning it up louder and louder on my ipod!! I have to hear it daily for sure. I am so excited about all the suggestions.
"Praise you with the Dance" by Casting Crowns...excellent "active" praise right there!
Have fun exploring all the new possibilities out there.
Go visit Boomama's site and read her recommendation on Monk & Neagle-it's a MUST! Other awesome ones are Travis Cottrell, Chris Tomlin, Hillsong, Point of Grace, Michael W. Smith, Mercy Me, Third Day, David Crowder Band, Glory Revealed (various artists), so many to name!!
There are so many fabulous ones. To add to the great ones already mentioned:
Alive - Rebecca St. James
Inside-Outside - Delirious
Tonight - Jeremy Camp
Everyday - Jessie Daniels
Better Is One Day - Kutless
You Are a Child of Mine - Mark Schultz
Everywhere We Go - Newsboys
"I am Free" by Newsboys is a great workout song! enjoy
Funny - I came here tonight to talk about spittle and aerobics. I teach a Christian aerobics class and as I was calling out songs tonight at class, I couldn't help but wonder if I had spittle on the sides of my mouth! :)
I was also going to suggest klove.com to check out songs. I know they broadcast in NC (I also live in NC north of Raleigh).
The aerobics class I teach is part of a ministry called Body & Soul Fitness. There might even be a class in your area because there are several all over the state of NC. Some of the great songs we are currently using or have used in our class are:
*Just showed Up for My Own Life - Sara Groves
* All for You - Big Daddy Weave
* Blessing - Matt Redman
* Revive Us - Sonic Praise
* Forever - David Crowder
* One Way - PCD
Lincoln Brewster and Paul Baloche also have great songs.
You will be motivated and lifted up with these songs on your iPod.
Mitzi, I don't think you're showing your age. I miss some of the oldies but goodies of the Christian faith. The Gaither's take me back to my early teens, but oh what a great reminder that God can and WILL make something beautiful of my mixed up, wrong choices, self-destructive life. I needed to be reminded of those words today. Something beautiful, something good. All my confusion, He understood. All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife. But He made something, beautiful of my life. A life surrendered to Christ. What a beautiful thing! Thank you Siesta.

I LOVE CeCe Winans when it comes to running or even cleaning my house! It is impossible to sit still while CeCe is singing praises to Him!! A few favorites of mine are:
Anybody Wanna Pray
Let Everything That Has Breath-(12" Remix version)
King of Kings (He's a Wonder)
An older but really fun CD is "Pray" by Rebecca St. James. Almost every song on that album is upbeat and the lyrics are great. Also, you can listen to Christian radio on the internet to get a better idea of what songs you might enjoy. I like www.klove.com.
~ Heidi
Oh my! PTL for an obedient siesta!! I am continuing to clean up my TV schedule and am finding I am only mostly getting by with some TBN and TV land! Whew....the places the devil will try to creep in! Now on to music....Too many to list but at present I am all about "You are Holy" from Isaiah Chapter 6 ( Fall down on your face and worship song) and Hallelujah anyhow by Brooklyn Tab and I call Him Faithful by Donnie McClurkin. Have a great time finding new music because in it you will find new glimpses of Him!!!!
So sorry about the bread; what a shame after you spent so much time on it-hope you, hubby and Jackson are on the mend....I just love to read your emails and that Jackson is sure a sweetie
Yes, I'm new to blogging so I'm just going to see if this works?? Have a blessed week all you sistas.......
Oh...to choose, to choose! I love music so much! I feel, at times, as though music ministers to me just as wonderfully as a good sermon does! And, oh how good it is to praise Him, praise Him!
I would recommend the whole CD by Chris Tomlin, See The Morning. How Can I keep From Singing is especially meaningful to me as God used that song to minister to me through two very painful experiences in the last year. Also, I am really loving the whole CD by Rush of Fools, but especially the song titled "Undo". And "Your Name" by Phillips, Craig and Dean. I could go on and on, but I'll stop there. Enjoy praising His name!! Lisa
Ok, I'm showing my age, but I love the older DC Talk and Mylon and Broken Heart----can you even buy their songs any more?! They get me moving!
The Journey Continues~
MY GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD !!!
THIS SONG SAYS IT ALL ~
Turn your radio on to KLOVE and listen until your heart is full.
I wish I were your dog ~ homemade bread sounds so good right now.
With cinnamon /sugar and butter.
You are precious Amanda!
With "Heaven Bound" blessings,
Kim Safina ~ Cayucos
If you're country, Alabama has a new praise CD that I enjoy. Also love the WOW Cd's.
Hope you get to enjoy some bread soon.
Stay well!
I love anything by Barlow Girl!
Here are a few I haven't seen mentioned yet --
O.C. Supertones "Hallelujah" is a must. I CANNOT stop dancing to that one, it gives me a workout even when one is not intended!
Days of Elijah is another that gets me moving.
Dennis Jernigan has some REALLY upbeat ones too -- how about "I Belong to Jesus", "Nobody Fills My Heart Like Jesus" and "Great is the Lord Almighty".
Matt Redman -- "Undignified"
Talley Trio -- "Built on the Rock"
How much fun to have an aerobic mix on your ipod... not being the aerobic sort, such a thing would never have occurred to me. :)
I can't add anything to the music playlist...I love all the suggestions so far.
However, for the bread thief and other "counter-culture" dogs, I suggest that you get a couple of the spring mouse traps, set them, place them gently upside down on your counter in front of a tastey treat. When your dog reaches up to grab the food the trap will snap and scare the dickens out of him/her. They won't be trying to steal food again for awhile. Do it again for a few times until you are sure that the stealing off the counter has ceased. Please be absolutely sure to place the trap upside down so that your precious pup does not get pinched. You can also put a piece of regular paper over it to disguise it and to add an extra measure of safety. And be careful when you set and place the traps to not get pinched yourself. I do not suggest this when tiny human fingers might be around to get pinched!
Love to All the Siestas,
Tammy in Montana
"Soldiers" by Out of Eden - I don't know what it is about it, but this song gets me going!

Thank the Lord for Great praise music!!
I love Casting Crowns and echo the rave reviews for their new CD. The first song, What This World Needs is pretty rockin'.
Another fave song of mine, though not one to work out to, is Carried to the Table by Leeland - fairly new band but amazing music. That song has me in tears almost every time I hear it.
Kutless is pretty upbeat, love their Strong Tower CD.
I also like Jars of Clay's Redemption Songs.
As for the lack of Christian radio... air1.com. I love their music selection.
Oh wait, you asked for just one... but I'm sorry, that's simply impossible. =)
Sara Groves - Generations, The Word, anything by her is fabulous!!!
Aaron Shust - One Day
Cademon's Call and new Jars of Clay
I didn't see where anyone has suggested Israel Houghton or Martha Munizzi...great music to exercise to. They have some songs that are especially great if you have some "chains" to loose or some "walls" to tear down....
Blessings to you for your obedience to be a woman of integrity.
"Bring the Rain" by Mercy Me.
Also, if you log onto www.fm88.org (local Jacksonville Florida christian station) you can down load from itunes any song played in the last 7 days. Plus you can listen live to see what you might like before you download.
