Get Fit 4 Christ Encourages Faith and Action For Healthy Body and Spirit

As the New Year begins, many people resolve to lose weight and become more spiritual. St. Louis-based personal trainer, Lyle Johnson, sets out to help people make both of these resolutions realities. Johnson motivates people to strengthen their spiritual and physical bodies in his new book, Get Fit 4 Christ. The book empowers people to take charge of their lives and focus themselves through scripture, prayer and action.

“I want to help people make lifestyle changes that will produce long lasting benefits and not just quick fixes,” says Johnson.

Get Fit 4 Christ is a practical roadmap containing inspirational stories, personal testimonials, workout plans and a nutritional guide. Johnson uses the biblical story of David and Goliath to encourage readers throughout the book to conquer the giants in their own lives. The book explains David's CHAMP mindset and how people can develop this same mentality to strengthen their bodies and their connection to God.

"Many people think they don't have time to get in shape," says Johnson, a certified personal trainer. "So, in Get Fit 4 Christ, I designed a 30-minute a day work out plan that anyone can do as well as a 40-Day Body Transformation."

The book is easy to follow and written in two parts. The first part focuses on the CHAMP mindset including spiritual and mental fitness with the second part detailing nutrition and exercise with scriptural support.

Johnson owns the St. Louis-based MVP Fitness. He conducts fitness workshops and runs the popular MVP Boot Camp. In addition to holding a Personal Training Certification from Cooper Institute, Johnson graduated from Grambling State University with a Bachelor of Arts.
