Day 11

A BEAUTIFUL ANALOGY!

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.

"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.

The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."

"Ah, but barbers DO exist!", answered the barber. "What happens, is,
people do not come to me."

"Exactly!" - affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, - Ephesians 3:20

Get Fit 4 Christ Nutrition Tip

Going on a Diet Will Not Work

Never go on a diet! Statistics show that going on and off diets will actually increase your chance of permanent weight gain. Skipping meals is a common mistake that dieters make. While this will lead to a lower calorie intake, it will also trigger your body to slow down your metabolism in order to conserve energy, thus causing you to burn fewer calories.

Get Fit 4 Christ Day 11 Workout

Here's a Way to Stay Fit During the Off Week

A great way to get a workout in when you are short on time is doing an Interval Training routine.

I use Interval Training a lot in MVP Boot Camp.

Interval Training is about mixing high intensity bursts of exercise for 20 seconds with moderate intensity recovery periods for 10 seconds

Interval training will improve your fitness levels, boost your metabolism and burn off that extra fat. It is fun, challenging and saves time.

Plus, there is no equipment needed because the four minute circuit below is a bodyweight exercise routine.

For an example of a great Interval Training workout, go to the link below and perform the MVP Boot Camp 4 Minute Workout.

Note: Exercise is not without its risks and this or any other exercise program may result in injury. To reduce the risk of injury in your case, consult your doctor before beginning this exercise program. MVP Fitness, LLC and advice presented are in no way intended as a substitute for medical advice, MVP Fitness, LLC disclaims any liability from and in connection with this program. As with any exercise program, if at any point during your workout you begin to feel faint, dizzy, or have physical discomfort, you should stop immediately and consult a physician.

Cool Weather Workout Tips For Boot Camp

Exercising outdoors in the spring means working out in unpredictable weather conditions.

Here are a few tips to warm up your engine.

Wear less, but layer your clothing: During cool springtime weather, you’ll need less heavy clothing as long as you are moving briskly. Wear light layers, and wear a jacket or windbreaker to keep you warm while you stretch.

Proper clothing is a good investment: Invest in a few key garments, particularly the layer that is closest to your body and underneath your second layer. Be sure your first layer is made of one of the synthetic fabrics that wick away perspiration and let it evaporate, such as Underamour gear.

Warm yourself with proper stretching: Always warm up slowly before Boot Camp begins have a good stretch after you are done. You want to avoid injury so that you can be injury free. This is more important in the cool weather than the heat, because hot weather helps you warm up naturally.

MVP Boot Camp-What to Expect

MVP Boot Camp is a fun and challenging program designed to increase your strength and cardiovascular ability.

What to Expect. MVP Boot Camp is unmatched in terms of results and intensity. As a result, your body will be challenged like no other group fitness class. Existing injuries may be aggravated and/or new injuries may occur. If you have any question about your ability to participate in this program, please consult your physician and the instructor. You are responsible for any accidents or injuries from participation in the program. If you experience any abnormal discomfort, stop exercising immediately and alert the instruction.

If you show up to Boot Camp well fueled and push yourself to the best of your ability, then you can expect excellent results at the end of each four-week program. You will be challenged regardless of your ability level of fitness. MVP Boot Camp is designed to challenge participants individually.

For example, if we are doing sit ups, you will be asked for 60 seconds of your best effort, not a specific number of repetitions. The advanced and beginner client can apply 100% of their effort and not be held back or overwhelmed. You will not be competing with others. The workouts and intensity will be progressive over the course of the class. If you adhere to the program, you will see major results.

How to prepare for class. You should wear clothing appropriate to exercise and the environment, please bring a towel, exercise mat and water. It is very important to eat and be well hydrated before class. It is also very important that you drink water and eat a light and healthy meal before the start of each MVP Boot Camp session.

Class etiquette. Please arrive on time to MVP Boot Camp. It is important to warm-up prior to exercise to reduce the likelihood of injury. Please note that tardiness may cost you and your fellow boot camp members 60 seconds of push-ups.

Missed classes and refunds. You may use the other area MVP Boot Camp programs to make up missed session within two weeks of the absence. A complete schedule can be found on our website at www.mvpfitness.net. There are no refunds.

Inclement Weather Policy. In the event of inclement weather, MVP Boot Camp classes will be cancelled. Information on the status of MVP Boot Camp during inclement weather will be available by calling 314-831-7505. Notice of cancellation for classes will normally occur prior to one (1) hour before the schedule class time.

Every boot camp member who has completed a MVP Boot Camp has shown great improvements. You may feel a little overwhelmed at the beginning of the program but you will leave each session with a great feeling of accomplishment.

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE TAKEN THE FIRST BIG STEP TO A BETTER HEALTH!

Five Common Mistakes to Avoid In Your Fitness Program

Here five mistakes to avoid when starting or maintaining your fitness program.

1. Not warming up. Your muscles need time to adjust to the demands exercise places on them. Rather than hitting the treadmill running, for example, take a few minutes to walk, build up to a light jog, and then hit your stride.

2. Not cooling down after your workout. Too many people wrap up their workouts and head straight to the showers or to their car for the drive home. Instead, take a few minutes to lower your heart rate and stretch your muscles.

3. Not stretching enough. The best time to stretch is immediately before and after your workout. Pre-exercise stretching: take a few minutes to warm up first; not stretching properly can cause injury. Warmed up muscles are far less likely to be strained or pulled than tight ones. Make sure to stretch all of your major muscle groups, after your cool down.

4. Lifting too much weight. Lifting more weight than your muscles can handle is the best way to guarantee an injury. Being patient is a far more effective - and safe - way to increase muscle strength. Take your time when lifting weights. When it comes to strength, in general, the slower you go the more benefit you get.

5. Exercising too intensely. This is common with the "weekend warrior", the individual who tries to fit a week's worth of exercise into a Saturday afternoon. It's more effective to sustain a moderate workout schedule (a 45 minute workout, three times per week) than to exercise intensely for only one day for three hours.

At times, people choose a fitness program because it's the latest trend or "in" thing to do. Choose fitness program you enjoy, a program you are passionate about. Always remember to keep your workout fun, and you are more likely to stay with it.
