One of the best ways for us at PRF to carry The Daniel
Plan through strong is by developing a fitness class for anyone in our church
as well as our community to attend.
When we decide to prioritize our time and commit to a
regular fitness program we start to develop a routine that turns into a habit
which eventually turns into a lifestyle!
This my friends is how we become healthier for God’s plan! They
say it takes 21 days to develop a habit.
Pray about giving this 21 days and see how you feel!
Exercising together on a regular basis will also give
us the opportunity to spend time with other people who are focused on healthy
living habits which include eating good wholesome food, moving and praising together to christian music, drinking more water and
taking care of the body God gave us to function better for Him while here on this
earth. It’s not to brow beat people or condemn
others when they don’t show up to exercise!
Everyone falls off the wagon now and then after starting good intentions. I’ve gotten off track before myself because of
various circumstances.
The purpose for this program is to encourage and
support people to develop healthy habits for life. It’s
an excellent way for us to carry on Daniel plan strong just like they are doing
at Saddleback church. Of course we’re a
much smaller church body. Remember though that we do have a large community to
reach out to with this ministry so think of the possibilities.
This type of healthy spiritual environment can provide –
Health benefits such as lower blood pressure, raise HDL
good cholesterol, stress relief, improve mood, control weight, better sleep,
better focus, more energy, adds years to your life. In
fact, regular physical activity can help you prevent or manage a wide range of
health problems and concerns, including stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2
diabetes, depression, certain types of cancer, arthritis and falls.
Support and encouragement to one another
An outreach for our church to the community
Fitness class can be a lot of fun! Bringing people closer to God while getting
fit!
‘Get Fit God’s Way’ is the 30 minute total workout that allows people to
work out at the level that is right for their own body.
Here’s a sample:
*They use Exercise bands in some of the routines. These
are $10.95 each from their website or you can bring yours if you have one at
home. I’ve used bands before and love them for
strength training. *They show the
exercises in low impact without the bands using your own body weight.
Strength training exercises are so important to our overall health without having to buy all sorts of heavy equipment. We can strengthen our muscles without the heavy weights. An exercise band is perfect because this light weight band can strengthen all the muscles in our body.
As we age it is more difficult to maintain a healthy weight. This is because of our decrease in muscle. Strength training exercises increase our metabolism (allows us to burn calories faster) prevents osteoporosis, improves our posture, helps us avoid injuries and so much more and the handles make them comfortable to use.
Exercise bands are not only great they are also light weight and compact making them great to travel with.
Ok that's it for now! I’m off to get a work out in at Curves. They are closing their doors August 31st. I’ve spoken with Jeanie the owner and she is happy to refer people to our fitness class at PRF and she may be willing to donate some of the Curves equipment to our church.
Here's the Fitness survey again for those who haven't had a chance to give us your feedback - https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JX6Y2QG
