    PB2 Review

    Love peanut butter but trying to watch the fat or calories? Is it really possible to get the flavor of peanuts with only 15% of the fat? Sounds too good to be true ... or is it?

Fitness Tip

  • When something is good, more of something is even better, right? No, not necessarily. Researchers are learning that shorter bursts of exercise may do as well (if not better) than longer, slower endurance exercise… hence the popularity of HIIT (high intensity interval training) workouts.

    Strength training is not much different. Don’t think that doing 10 sets of bench press is better for you than three because that’s not necessarily the case. There’s a law of diminishing returns.

    Not sure how to workout more efficiently or having a hard time finding shorter workouts? Programs like 10-minute Trainer, T25, and the newly released P90X3 help you get high quality total body workouts in 30 minutes or less.

    Exercise smart! Don’t workout longer if shorter will do the trick.

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.

  • Vitamix Review: Our Favorite Appliance

    Vitamix. Is it everything they say it is? I'm here to tell you, it's more. This multi-purpose, powerhouse of a machine will not only help get you healthier, you'll be looking for excuses to use it. It's without its flaws, but we wouldn't trade it for 100 pounds of organic kale.
