This week we have three scriptures for those of us who start on a journey to success but during the voyage we start to doubt if we can keep going. Remember the "race is not given to the swift, nor the battle to the strong" Eccl. 9:11a-b, but hold to the fact that "let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart" Gal. 6:9 and we can stand on His word that says "you are in need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise" Heb. 10:36. God is good and His truth endures to all generations.

This week we are going to focus on exercise in totality. Exercise has many benefits from physical strength to mental acuity. When we combine the physical benefits with spiritual blessings the total person is complete. All that we need to do is surrender totally to the will of God. This week we are going to challenge ourselves to JUMPROPE for 2 minutes. This exercise incorporates activation of the upper and lower body. This weeks scripture is:

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies, a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God" Romans 12:1-2

"Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."  Romans 8:37 NKJV
God has already paved for us a road to success we just have to be obedient and walk that course that is set before us remembering that God has already made us successful. This weekend obey God and watch Him bless you.

This week we will focus on your core. The core of the body is essential for movement, posture and daily functional living. This simple exercise known as a crunch can improve your core strength and stability. This week challenge yourself to 100 crunches per day.

Two Ways of Life
"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV

This week work on your lower body by completing 50 standing lunges a day. This will improve your lower body strength plus promote heart health as you work on the large muscles in the body. This can be done with or without weights. The form stays the same as demonstrated below.

" Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved" Eph. 1:3-6 KJV

"But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31 NKJV

This week challenge yourself to do something new. A new workout program will help you to get better results and promote healthy living. This week work on upper body strength by doing 100 push-ups a day to increase the strength and size in your chest and triceps/back of arms. Know that you can do it.
