Getting Back Up After Getting Burned Out and Knocked Down


It's easy to get burned out from working out, right? I know this burnout feeling myself after working out but it makes me feel good to workout. This is pretty much the same thing with Christianity though. We easily get burned out with our faith and lose sight of the prize ahead of us. Christ died for us so that we could obtain a spot in heaven. Sure he got burned out paying the price for it, but he persevered through it all to be with his Father. And we should persevere just as he did. Getting back up after getting burned out and knocked down isn't easy, but it's worth the pain and heartache to persevere, especially if there is a prize waiting for us on the other side. So, the next time you think about burning out and getting knocked down, whether it's through working out or through life, just think, there is something bright and a prize on the other side. It may take some tough days and nights to get there, but it'll be worth it. Just remember that we are all Fit4Him, no matter what our circumstances or situations may look like! God bless and choose happiness! (P.S. This is my first blog post on this site, so I hope y'all enjoyed! Be on the lookout for more encouraging, motivating, fitness, nutrition, and Christian content) xoxo

Hydration: Refreshed by the Word of God not the world

Image
Are you staying hydrated? Physical, mentally, and spiritually? You’re probably sitting there thinking “Ugh! Are you gonna do another talk about drinking more water? I’ve been hearing that a lot.” Well, you’ve come to the right place then! Staying hydrated takes a lot of effort and time but it is so worth it! Recently I’ve been hearing more and more of these terms because both of my siblings have been having either kidney stones or kidney issues which is caused by dehydration. Although I have been the best one at drinking lots of water, I am still no where near perfect so I have been drinking even more water. Same thing goes spiritually though. I grew up going to church but never got taught how to read my Bible or when to. It’s when I got saved back five years ago that I started to shake the dust off again and start reading it more often. I still wasn’t perfect but it wasn’t until college that I finally started to realize that I needed to be refreshed by the Word of God, NOT the world. ...

HIIT It!

Image
That's right, HIIT it! Well, not really. Only when exercising should you HIIT it (your body should HIIT it when exercising), but what I really mean when I say HIIT it, I mean High-Intensity Interval Training. Now, I know most of you are saying, "What is High-Intensity Interval Training?" and "Why use it?". Well, those are some good questions that are about to be answered. High-Intensity Interval Training is a very intense type of exercise that is used to be effective at burning off calories in a short amount of time, burning fat, building muscle, increasing metabolism, helping lose weight, and helping to improve cardiovascular fitness. It even burns calories up to 2 hours after this workout has been completed. Pretty cool, huh? And if you're looking at doing one of these exercises right now, here are some examples: -Russian Twists -Jumping Jacks -Wall Sits -Push-Ups -Crunches -Chair Step-Ups -Squats -Tricep Dips -Planks -High Knees Running in Place -Lunges -...

What To Eat When You Are Hungry

Image
Hi, fellow healthy eaters! I know you are going to think, "You are going to tell us to eat just fruits and vegetables when we get hungry". While this is true, I do not believe that you should just eat fruits and vegetables when you are hungry. There are many varieties of snacks that are healthy that you can eat when you get hungry, but not everyone will be able to eat them due to allergies and dislike in taste. Just remember, with anything you eat, eat in moderation (i.e. portion control). Below are some examples of healthy snacks to eat when your stomach says that you are hungry: Nuts (i.e. almonds, cashews, pistachios, pecans, walnuts, etc.) Yogurt (preferably plain Greek but if not then lightly sweetened vanilla) Fruits (Yes, fruits. i.e. strawberries, grapes, pineapple, banana, etc.) Vegetables (And vegetables. i.e. tomatoes, carrots, celery, broccoli, etc.) Vegetables with nut butter (i.e. celery with peanut butter, broccoli with almond butter, etc.) Fruit with yogurt (i...
