Okay so here's the scoop...Well part of it anyway...

^{Hebrews 12:1 "1}Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."

I said a couple of posts ago that I wasn't going to lay out my workout plan, because for most people, it will just not apply, because of the PT nature of it. But upon further review, in my head, there is definitely some aspects of my daily regimen that most of you will be able to do at least in part. I thought this a great way to let you know what has worked for me.

Consistency: that is the key. What I do, I do daily, five days a week if at all possible. Around the holidays because of our Mayo trip etc., it was a little less, but I picked right back up when I could. That is key: Consistency. There will be weeks that you just cannot keep to your workout routine, but in those times, keep doing what you can and pick it right back up the next week. It is really important that you give yourself no excuses to be lax in this area. I have been the Queen of excuses let me tell ya, well these days I don't give myself any. I press on. Because seriously, for me excuses become major hindrances, and we are to throw those off (see above verse =)

So what about you? Want to throw off some hindrances? Be consistent. Good bye hindrance!

So here is what a typical day workout wise, looks like for me. I get up at 5:00 am and get my sweet husband off to work, and then I read my Bible until 6:00 am. At 6:00 AM Margaret Richards comes on PBS. From 6:00-6:30 AM I workout with her. What I really like about her is she is consistent, and she never compromises form for reps. Very important. If you would like to check her out, please do so right here.

After my workout with Margaret, I go about my day, and then at 10:00 am I start leg PT and then again at about 2:00 pm, leg PT. I am going to start adding more weights to my workouts as I go, but that is a process. If you have chronic pain or health issues that impede your workouts, add weights and reps slowly. Be very consistent in working out and moving and know your body. It will tell you when it's time to move up in weight, sets and reps.

In all this, be sure and take time to read the Bible and pray. Ask God to help you in this walk. It is vitally important. In fact, it is the MOST important part. Because apart from Him we can do nothing (John 15:5). It is what Faith-Filled Fitness is all about. In order to be Faith-Filled, you have to be consistent in your walk with the Lord as well.

I am so enjoying our time together. Your comments are so GREAT and I'm trying to respond to them.

Have a Blessed day ~~

Healthfully Yours,
