What Is Crossfit?

Have you ever wondered what crossfit really is? Do you think it is too hard for you?  Well, you are wrong.  Watch this video to see how other people have pushed through to accomplish one of the most challenging workouts ever.  You can do anything you can put your mind to.  This is a great way to work on this week's Rise Up Weekly Challenge.  I will also post an at home crossfit workout that you can do without going to a gym.  Let me know if you plan on trying this at home!

Go Big Or Go Home!


You Are Stroner Than You Think

 
 
  Sometimes we put limits on what we think we are capable of.  We think that just because we are not men that means we are unable to lift at much weight, workout as long as they can or take time for ourselves to be healthy and strong.  We have more power in us than we could ever imagine.  We are stronger than anything that could ever stand up against us.  Whatever you put your mind to.....YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT!  There are NO limits to your potential.  1 John 4:4 says, " Greater is He that is in You than he who is in the world."  That mean God is our strength.  We are stronger than anything that comes up against us.  We can lift more than we think we can, go for an extra 10 or 15 minutes when we think we have no strength left, we can push through one more set when our muscles feel like they are about to fall off.  Look up to the ONE who gives us the strength.  Look beyond your limits and your body, and rely on the ONE who CAN NOT FAIL.  My challenge to you this week is to push through.  Tell yourself that you are strong.  You will not FAIL because the Lord is with you and he will "never leave you nor forsake you".  God has shown me many times this past week that I can't do it alone, but I can do it with him by my side.  Let me know what you overcome in strength this week.  Let me know how you have worked out harder this week because you refuse to give up or how you have not let your circumstances get in the way of your true happiness.  God wants us to be happy and wants us to be strong women....but he doesn't make us do it alone.  Celebrate your strength and how far you have come.  I challenge you to believe that you are stronger than you think!  Rise Up and Be Strong.  I would love to hear from you.  Good luck!!!

Belive In Yourself!


This week's challenge is for you to believe in yourself and know that you are strong enough to do whatever you want to do.  No matter what life throws at you, you are never given more than what you can handle.  I challenge you to be positive for this week.  Every time you feel like you can't get up one more day, or you are too tired to squeeze in a workout, or that you are not worth the effort...RISE UP and know that you were specifically chosen for this life because you have exactly what it takes to live your life to the max.  I challenge you to speak ONLY positive words out of your mouth. Whenever you doubt yourself this week remember that "You can do ALL things through Christ who gives You strength" (Philippians 4:13).
Tell us ways that you found to encourage yourself and stay positive.  What great hurdles did you overcome for your health or faith this week?
