Training spiritually as if we are training physically.

Wow this was a convicting read this morning. If we are truly in Christ we are called to be disciples and being disciples we are to be disciplined in all areas of our life.

I personally loved the relation to physical training- give HIM your ALL, everyday!

Do you agree with any of these?

The even bigger picture from a biblical standpoint is to make me lesser and Him greater. My husband Mark shared this message with the youth group last night and today I came across this.

Starting with making ourselves less and Christ all the more, then going into our own personal lives to make these changes.

Day by day, little by little.

How do I recover from DOMS? (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)

You completed a tough leg workout 2 days ago and the soreness has increased... what should you do to recover?

1. Active Recovery- light, repetitive exercise on the area that is sore. Some examples include a light bike ride, slow walking on the treadmill, swimming, etc.

2. Muscle Massage- Apply pressure and massage the sore muscles for 30+ seconds at a time. Examples include foam rolling, tempering, massage therapy, etc.

3. Nutrition- Hydrate well and make sure to get electrolytes. Increase your protein intake, the free flowing amino acids are required to rebuild our micro-teared muscle tissue.

4. Sleep- Are you getting an adequate amount of good quality sleep? Aim for 8 hours of sleep to aid muscular recovery from the extra load.

Try implementing the many different ways to recover from your muscle soreness starting today.
