Sweet friends,
Happy March! Who doesn’t love a new month AND the start of Spring!?
This month we are challenging you to press PLAY on your health and fitness—maximizing your body, mind, and spirit. Everyone is busy, life is always moving at a fast pace, and even though it may feel like things will slow down, every season is physically and mentally demanding. We believe if you stop pressing pause and making excuses, you will be able to see progress, experience change, and live a healthier lifestyle altogether! Yes, I know this might seem like a daunting task, but give it a try and experience the transformation.
5 Ways to Maximize Your Weight-loss in March
1. Exercise
Take time out of your day to move the body. This could mean going for a walk, taking a strength-training class, doing yoga, or going for a run. Exercising relieves stress and allows your mind to re-focus so that you can attack the day with new energy and a positive spirit. When we get our heart rate up and start to sweat, our endorphins are released which boosts our mood. 30-minutes is all you need to reap the benefits of exercise.
2. Nutrition
Nutrition is a key factor in your daily energy levels and mental health. When we fill our bodies with nutrient-dense foods, such as lean meats, fish, veggies, fruits, whole grains, and healthy fats (nuts, seeds, avocados, etc.), our bodies have the proper fuel to help us attack each day at full strength. Proper nutrition can also help you reach your goals faster and transform your body composition. It has been reported that nutrition leading factor in physical change. Not only does it sharpen your mind, but it makes you feel good!
3. Rest and Recovery
While exercising should be a priority in our daily routine, we also have to give our body a chance to rest and recover properly. This may come in the form of active recovery such as going for a long, slow walk or taking a yoga class. Another way for your body to fully recover is to get a healthy 7-9 hours of sleep each night. This allows your body to reset and be renewed.
4. Quality Time and Community
According to research, quality time is the most common “love language” for both men and women. When we spend time with people whom we care about, we are able to connect with them and deepen our relationships. This is a great way to relieve stress and feel filled. Surrounding ourselves with a tight community propels us towards our goals as we encourage and uplift each other.
5. Praise
Just like in your journey to a whole-body transformation, it takes time for our bodies and minds to adjust. Changes don't happen overnight. Extend grace, compassion, love, and patience to yourself and others. We all need affirmation and encouragement in our lives. Tell someone, “Great job!” or “I am so proud of you!”. Show them how much you care for them and affirm their efforts every single day!
NEW Bible Study
After an incredible 6-week Bible Study where we read through Rhythms of Renewal by Rebekah Lyons, we were inspired to continue diving into the Word and invest in our relationship with the Heavenly Father. We are so excited to start a study focused on 1&2 Kings, called Trustworthy, by Lysa Terkeurst. Join us in “exploring the deeply applicable Scriptures that will teach us how to truly trust God.”
In this study you will learn to:
Identify and challenge doubts in the one true God.
Loosen your grip of trying to control people and circumstances in your life
Explore how the Old Testament applies to our lives today.
Learn to trust in the goodness and faithfulness of God.
This study will start on March 5th, from 12:00-1:00pm and meet in the TransFit studio every Thursday. Sign up on the APP for this FREE community bible study.
