Keeping My Body Fit and Healthy with BODi

I Dare You!

Over the past week, I’ve experienced some life changing moments. Early New Year’s Day, on a cold morning as the sun was coming up over the Sandia Mountains, I took one step, heard a crack in my knee and couldn’t take another step. By 8:00 am, I was in the ER, then had X-rays, was fitted with a brace and given crutches and I haven’t been able to walk on that leg since without a brace or pain. I had an MRI today and in 2 – 3 days, when they send the results to the doctor, I will know more. One thing I do know is that my life was forever changed in that moment in time on various levels – including appreciating so much more how precious the gift of health and mobility is.

I Dare YouOn Saturday night, we began a 20 week series entitled, “I Dare You” at Calvary Albuquerque and it is based on the Book of Daniel. I have modeled my fitness ministry after the actual ministry of Pastor Skip Heitzig. He has, for the past 30 years, spent his life being a Bible teacher and using his ministry to help people with their spiritual growth.

Day after day, week after week, he has been a teacher – first to just a handful of couples who came to his apartment here in Albuquerque after he and his new wife, Lenya, moved here from California to start a church and now to a congregation of over 14,000. Our services are always the same, we learn from the book which he holds to be true in every word and he never waivers from his message of hope for all of us.

Today marks my sixth anniversary as a Team Beachbody Coach and I, too, never waiver from sharing the message of the hope that health and fitness can give to all of us. I preach unceasingly the benefits of regular exercise, good nutrition and making positive lifestyle choices. At first it was to just a handful of people, but before the end of this year, I will have 11,000 Team Beachbody members in my “congregation”. I am incredibly proud to be a Team Beachbody coach and this opportunity to support, guide, motivate and lead has blessed me immeasurably.

I Dare YOU to do More…

Yes, I am going to dare you, just as our pastor is daring us – to be “distinct” as he said in his message this week and as he will challenge us in so many ways in the weeks to come. As he says, “Men and women of character will rise to meet a challenge.”
