Greetings Team STRONG!
Are you feeling a little sore from Tuesday’s workout? That’s normal. And it’s a GOOD sign that your muscles are doing what they are supposed to be doing.
When you do resistance training exercises like we did on Tuesday (using hand weights, body weight, or gravity in exercise), what you actual do is create microscopic tears in your muscles (that’s why they’re sore). It may sound bad, but it’s a GOOD thing. As they heal, they grow and start creating more definition.
When you do resistance training on a consistent basis, you start developing that wonderful muscular definition we admire in athletes. When our muscles are more defined, we are less likely to get injured (as we get older, that’s a VERY good thing!).
Reviewing Tuesday’s lesson:
We discussed three scriptures and want to encourage you to meditate on them and share with your squad mates how you view them differently in light of what you are learning in I Am STRONG:
2 Corinthians 6:19-20 - Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.
Hebrews 12:11 - No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
1 Corinthians 6:12 – Everything is permissible for me” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me” but I will not be mastered by anything.
And then we encouraged you to share with your squad your biggest food weakness and share 2 areas where you wanted to be held accountable by your squad mates. If you haven’t followed up with them in the last two days, I want to encourage you to do that TODAY. We need to be deliberate about accountability.
We also talked about Macro Clean Eating, and I shared with you the Healthy Food Prep Guide so you can start learning to think different about food. Make sure you read through that this week and share with your squad mates new revelations.
We also did resistance training using the Upper, Middle, and Lower Body. You can find videos of Russ demonstrating those exercises and many more at the I Am Strong page as well as downloading a printable copy of the Personal Workout Log.
Remember that our three areas of focus during week 2 are:
1. Create your first food prep plan and carry out over the weekend (go basic, it doesn’t have to be perfect).
2. In your movement, include 3 days of beginner resistance training (watch some of Russ’ videos!)
3. Connect with your squad and share your victories, struggles, and recipe ideas!
Please note that each Tuesday, you will be texting your body weight and body fat percentage NOT TO ME, but to Doreen Ramsey (832-605-7693), a member of the Transformer Squad. She has generously volunteers to help keep stats for the whole team. Thank you, Doreen!! Please send your texts in the following format:
First name | Last Name
Body Weight
Body Fat Percentage
Example:
Kim Pullen
152
22%
Next week is Part 1 of Nutrition 101 where begin to dive deep in learning how your body uses food to burn energy so you can learn to start working WITH your body instead of AGAINST it.
Any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Russ or myself.
Stay STRONG!
