Health + Wellness

Mind, body and spirit all work together as a whole.

A healthy diet and consistent exercise speak to spiritual obedience.  
A healthy body impacts the spirit in a positive way and helps one to love God, oneself and others.

The mission of the Health and Wellness Ministry is to help the congregation and community care for themselves and one another…to attain, maintain and/or regain the best possible WHOLE-person health and wellness of body, mind, and spirit -- following the example of Christ and guided by the Holy Scriptures.  
The challenge is Exercise Snacks!
What are Exercise Snacks? Brief bouts of safe high intensity exercises dispersed throughout the day anywhere from 20 seconds to 3 minutes three times per day, 3-4 times per week. These can be done anywhere.
Types of Exercises: Squats, jumping jacks, sprints up the stairs, lunges, wall/knee or regular push-ups, high knees, burpees, calf raises, chair squats or whatever you are comfortable doing as long as you challenge yourself.
Benefits: Reduces all-cause mortality, improves cardio health and can offset the detrimental effects of prolonged sitting on metabolic outcomes. Improves glucose regulation especially if done 20-30 minutes before or after eating a meal. Easily accessible, you can do them anywhere.
How to get started: 
Week 1: start with 30 seconds of any exercise snack. Exercise morning, mid-day and evening three times per week.
Week 2 -4: gradually increase your time and intensity each week varying the various exercises of your choosing. Remember good form and stay safe.
Example:
Snack day 1: morning 30 seconds of squats, mid-day 30 seconds of wall push-ups and evening 30 seconds of jumping jacks or you can do the same exercise at each snack. Enjoy and have fun!
