Here we are, the first of the 30 minute 30 day challenge. I am ready! I have cleaned off the ol’ equipment and have got my mental attitude in check for this challenge. Let’s take this 30 days and change a bad habit into a good one for God!
I have a few suggestions to start.
SET APART! If you can, set apart an area for your workout. An area dedicated to just that. If you are able to join a gym, make sure you have an accountability partner to check in with or work out with.
START SLOW! Especially if you are like me and haven’t worked out in a long time. Don’t make the mistake of doing to much to soon. You will hurt yourself and that comes from first hand experience! Take the time to streatch before and after your workout.
FUEL THE MACHINE! Don’t work out on an empty stomach! That is a myth that can very well hurt you. Put something in your system at least 30 minutes before you begin to work out. It’s like your car, do you expect it to take you down the road without any gas? What happens to the engine if it runs out of gas? How about if it is not maintained? Our bodies work the same. So take care and put something good in your tank before you begin. I like to start with 2 pieces of toast and a grapefruit. Coffee and water.
WATER AND TOWEL! Be sure to have water and a towel handy during your work out. Take little breaks to drink water while you are working out. Don’t stop moving, just grab a drink, wipe that sweat off and get back to it.
30 minutes is a very small sacrifice for the years of benefits we are going to receive!
Let’s get this baby started!
Lord, we give this to you in worship! Come be with us as we join together to build a healthier temple for You to live in and for You to use for Your work. In Jesus name and in thanksgiving, Amen
DON’T FORGET to sign up on Carley’s Hang Out, The 30/30 Start Up and Measure Up discussion to be qualified for the give away after the 30 days! Also I look forward to every-one’s input. Start a discussion or join one already in progress. See you there!
God Bless You and your 30 days!
