Take Care of Yourself

This says is all.  ."BALANCE" is what its all about!
Happy Sunday Everyone!  xoxo

Take Care of Yourself TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “For God has bought you with a great price. So use every part of your body to give glory back to God because he owns it.” (1 Corinthians 6:20, TLB) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria There is no doubt that being in shape spiritually is the most important kind of fitness. But being in shape physically is very important as well. Some people know the Bible well — they pray often and they know what to do, but they don’t have the physical energy to do anything at all. All three parts of your being — physical, emotional and spiritual — should be healthy and in sync for you to function most productively. Your body is the temple of the most high God, and you must honor Him with the care you take of it. Seek a balance, and try to be healthy and God-honoring in every part of life. A PRAYER FOR TODAY God, thank You for giving me the ability to honor You with my body. Help me to take care of my body and make it a stronger and healthier temple for You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen. — Joel & Victoria Osteen

Smile ..It's FREE

Did you Know...

 

"A smile is a curve that sets everything straight." -- Phyllis Dyer

Have you noticed that when you smile at someone, especially if you catch them off-guard, that they smile back?

OK,  Well Maybe not everyone smiles back but this is what it CAN do!!

A smile relaxes the facial muscles and calms the nervous system. Laughing sends more oxygen to the brain...triggering the release of brain chemicals called endorphins. These chemicals help us feel positive. Laughing can also lover blood pressure, relieving stress and boost your mood.

A smile can help people just feel better.. It can actually help people who deal with depression and anxiety.

If a smile helps you or someone else feel happier ..Why not SMILE! It's FREE!

Dear who ever is reading this..

I hope you have a reason to smile today !

Squat Challenge

Introducing the KING of all bodyweight exercises- the SQUAT~ Squats are awesome because they provide a great workout for multiple muscle groups, including the butt, thighs, and core.

It’s for that reason that 30-day squat challenges have become increasingly popular over the past year.

Here is a principle to create a different kind of squat challenge that will give you the best possible chance of safely getting a toned butt and thighs, along with improving your technique. Here’s how it works:

• You will do a different squat variation each week for a month. The variations get more difficult as the month progresses.
• Each day has a target number or reps for which you should aim. You can do them all in one go or spread them out throughout the day.
• If you fail to reach the target number of reps with perfect form you must go back to the beginning of that 7 day period.
• You may not have heard of each variation, so how to do them properly is explained below
  

Counterbalance Box Squat:

• With your feet shoulder width apart, keep your chest up and arms out in front of you as a counterbalance.
• Sit back and down onto a surface, such as a chair or stool. Let your butt touch the surface,but don’t sit down.
• As you descend make sure your knees are tracking over your toes.
• Return to the starting position by pushing through your heels and squeezing your glutes.

Prisoner Box Squat:

• Keeping the tips from above in mind, place your hands behind your head rather than out in front of you.
• Use a lower chair or stool than before to make sure you are squatting deeper.
• Over the course of the week keep lowering the surface until your thighs are parallel (or lower) to the ground when in the bottom position.

Counterbalance Air Squat:

• Remove the chair or stool and put your arms out in front of you.
• Squat down as before, ensuring that your thighs are parallel to the ground (or lower). The deeper you squat the more muscles you activate.
• Remember to keep your torso as upright as possible by keeping your chest up.

Prisoner Air Squat:

• Put your hands behind your head once again and continue squatting as low as you can.
• Remember: chest up, feet shoulder width apart, knees tracking over toes, sit back, and push through your heels.
• By the end of the month, you should be able to do a basic bodyweight squat with great form.

So what are you waiting for? Take on the challenge and share it with your friends! We can’t wait to see your results!

 

 

 

Bring on "2015"

AM Fight Club -Stay calm and bring on 2015!

www.amfightclub.com

Well friends here we go! “2015” Yep- I don’t know about all of you but I am ready to give it my all! 
For those of you that follow my posts..If you haven’t figured out where I’m coming from with them…I will share… you see I believe with all of my heart that life is not all about the Physical-Its a balance of Physical Mental and Spirit. I have chosen in my life to try and be the best me that I …can be…Tough to do …but I am not giving up with out the best Fight I have in me. Through the physical I challenge myself and many others to fight for what they believe in. That is where the mental comes in….a strong physical & Mental =a stronger spirit. This is the full circle you need to be balanced. I believe that when we take a look at ourselves inside and work on what we think needs mending that is growth.. When we continue to work the physical with exercise we are also working on our inner growth….Because it all comes down to when we look better on the outside we begin to feel better on the inside Confidence begins to grow and when that happens we begin to challenge ourselves even in a bigger way. The things we never thought we could do…We begin to do! We all have to find a way to start. Maybe its not exercise maybe its something else that fuels your fire, but we all have the right to become the best you that you can be. So for 2015 My New Year resolution is to keep doing what I’m doing and hopefully I will inspire some of you to give it a try! 
Lets go kick some ass!

Mince the Muffin Top

Fight2bFit-Tip “Mince the muffin top”

As much as one might love a good muffin now and then, no one loves sporting a “muffin-top!”  You know, the dreaded “spillage” over the top of one’s waistband? With today’s low-slung jeans and tight-knit fabrics, this can be a very real problem for women of all shapes and sizes. But I’m here to share a couple tips—some quick and not-so-quick suggestions—on how to camouflage and fix that unsightly situation!

First, check your posture! Are you standing up tall? Shoulders back?  Belly-button to  your spine? If notm then stop what you're doing and realign yourself! It might sound crazy but it's true! The way you carry yourself can instantly change how you see yourself and how others see you as well. What's more, while you're pulling that belly button in  think about holding it  there for 10-15 seconds at a time. Repeat this action several times in a row and you've just completed a mini-ab-workout ll the sweat!

 

Next, check your wardrobe. Are you wearing clothes that fit too tight, or cling too much around your waistband? If you answered yes, don’t beat yourself up. Some of the blame belongs to today’s designers who’ve been pinching our middles way too hard lately! But there is hope! Look for styles that flow freely past your belt loops. Choose breezy blouses that don’t cinch your waist, but instead gather just below it. Try a new fashion or two, like the pairing of longer tops with leggings or stretch pants. When you do, check yourself out in the mirror, and see which styles you like the best. These are just a few quick and easy solutions.

Now let’s look at a solution that takes a bit more time and commitment—whittling that middle away!  If you’ve spent years doing sit-up after sit-up, don’t worry. I’m not going to suggest you do tons more. While sit-ups will definitely help this problem area, they’re not your only option. There are many other moves available that can be just as effective. For example, stand up tall, with a slight bend in your knees. Hold your hips straight ahead, while you twist side to side. Tighten with each turn, making your moves slow and deliberate. Do several sets, anywhere, anytime! At home, at work, or at play.

Now think about lifting your knees to your chest. First your right, then your left. Scrunch your tummy muscles with every lift, and you’ll feel your core begin to strengthen and tighten. Lift your arms and pull them down with each knee lift, and you’ll add that much more resistance to this routine!

Finally, grab a couple hand weights (or even that jug of milk off the breakfast counter), and stand up straight again. With the weights by your side, slowly bend and lower to your right and then return to straight spine. Repeat, 10-12 times on the right side before you switch and lower to the left. Contract your side muscles as you move. Before long, you’ll have whittled your middle away and kissed your muffin top goodbye!

Lets Mince!
