When I coach sprinters, we spend a great deal of time working on starts. Those first few steps out of the blocks can make all the difference in the race! The same goes for your daily sprint! The first few steps can make all the difference! If you will do these 2 things at the start of each day, you will see a huge change in your physical and spiritual fitness levels!

6 plus 2 can change your life! Eat 6 small (fist size) meals a day. Even amounts of protein and carbs in the morning. You can go a little heavier on carbs mid day. Then, more protein than carbs in the evening. Get 2 seperate short workouts of at least 15 minutes each day. They don't have to be super intense, but they do need to work up a little…

Fitness is a choice! You decide to be.... or not to be...... Physical Fitness is a choice; a daily choice....your choice. Spiritual Fitness is also a daily choice. Add Financial Fitness to that group as well. I am amazed at the number of people who would rather blame something...circumstances....someone....ANYTHING besides themselves and their choices for their lack of fitness. Your Physical, Financial, and Spiritual Fitness…

God is a God of Creation and Love. Right? To me, it seems that almost all, if not all,  of life's relationships and circumstances are either Demonstrations of God's Love or Opportunities for Demonstrations of God's Love!

It's important for our growth as humans....physically, spiritually, and financially!

I am a coach and I have been involved with athletics as long as i can remember. My life's schedule revolves around athletic seasons. My favorite is football season and it's that time of year. Football season brings a BIG change in my time management. So... it also brings about a change in my workout schedule. I have to plan my workouts around all the other time commitments that football season forces upon…

Our Fitness levels depend on healthy intake of energy. Studies have shown it is most beneficial for our bodies when we intake light amounts of calories 6 or 7 times a day - NOT three meals a day. Smaller portions... more frequency! The same goes for our spirit! Intake spiritual bites throughout the day to stay focused on what your Creator has in store for you.
