1. The fitness practices that I totally embrace are:
A 40-40-20 Diet Program = All daily calories come from 40% Protein, 40% Carbohydrates, and 20% Good Fats.
Timing- I believe in keeping the metabolism revved up by eating every 3-4 Hours.
Exercise- I fully embrace the HIIT style workout for me and my clients. HIIT is a High Intensity Interval Training workout which is usually 20 minutes in length and the results are quick.
2. When people approach me about a fitness regimen, I can’t help but sing the praises of a HIIT workout because of the appeal of only 20 minutes. I usually wait to discuss nutrition. I feel if I can just get people moving, that’s the start (baby steps).
3. The components of my faith I am most excited about is knowing how good God is. I believe God wants us strong in spirit, soul, and body and He provided the path towards that through Jesus Christ. When Christ died on the cross not only was our salvation bought and paid for, but healing in our bodies, deliverance for our minds, financial abundance, anything we would ever need here on this earth He provided.
4. I thoroughly enjoy being a Christian! I love God with all my heart, so communicating this is just what I do, it’s who I am. Most importantly, I pray my life communicates my faith in Him. Every day I try to walk as close to Him as I possibly can so He rubs off on me and then I rub off on others.
I am a fitness enthusiast, former competitive bodybuilder, and a mother of 5. I have been involved in the fitness industry for nearly 30 years.
My mission can be found in I Thessalonians 5:23 (MSG), “May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together- spirit, soul, and body- and keep you FIT for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. This scripture beautifully illustrates God’s desire to see his children strong!
JASON’S TRAINING TIP Jody is spot on target… HIIT is a great way to train to shed body fat and gain strength endurance. My favorite HIIT protocol is still Tabata intervals. My Roll The Bones Tabata article that will give you more insight and ideas about how to add interval training into your training schedule.
