Fitness Tip

  • For all you type A’s out there establishing new lifestyle habits, let me just rip this Band-Aid right off: you will never eat perfectly and you will never exercise perfectly.

    Some of you are relieved to hear this. Others are ticked. And yet others are taking this as a challenge. But once you understand this, the process of becoming healthier becomes a lot more enjoyable. You see, additives will sneak into your foods. Poor sleep will sabotage a workout. Cravings will be temporarily satisfied. Things happen. Life happens.

    But if you adopted the mindset to improve rather than perfect, wouldn’t you feel less pressure? Wouldn’t it free you up to better enjoy the journey and to celebrate the improvements you did make?

    As long as you’re not using this mantra as justification to skip workouts or eat poorly, it should serve you well in the never-ending journey to live healthier.

    Practice does not make perfect, it makes permanent. So whereas perfection is unattainable, permanent progress is not.

    Fat Gripz

    Thick bars spread the weight over a larger area of the hand. Trainers credit this with making training safer and less likely to cause injury. They also make the forearms extensors and flexors work more evenly which can help avoids imbalances, weaknesses and injury.

    Plus, thicker handles stimulate much more muscle activation in the hands and arms. More muscle activation means much bigger muscle and strength gains.

    And with Amazon, you're gonna get a great price and quick shipping!

Testimonials

  • I was feeling defeated and frustrated with my health due to a chronic illness, but Matthew and the group met me where I was at and provided the balance of grace and truth that I needed. I lost 10 lbs during my first challenge, but more importantly I learned to be faithful with my responsibilities (eating well, exercising, etc.) and to trust God with the rest.
