Christian Radio Show I was on

Interesting story… I received a late night text that I should call to be on an early morning radio show.  The person who helped me was King Hoover!

I called in and after a little confusion I found a great family radio station.  Check them out here

We are all working on this together to spread faith in Christ and faith in fitness.  We need to be healthy and fit so we can live the life the Lord has planned for us.  So we can spread the WORD and be role models for others.  

Thank you King and Family Net for your help in this mission.

What Would Jesus Eat?

“Jesus essentially ate a Mediterranean diet rich in whole grains, fish, fruit and vegetables and modest amounts of olive oil, meat and wine, Colbert says. Anything the Old Testament blacklists in its dietary prescriptions is out, including shellfish, pork products, horses, camels, birds of prey and other carnivores.” http://www.beliefnet.com/Health/Weight-Loss/2003/08/What-Would-Jesus-Eat.aspx

“Due to working in such an environment, Jesus would have been a rugged, physically fit, masculine-looking man. And He would have worn durable, practical clothing, which would have helped Jesus to blend in with the crowd, indistinguishable from the common “blue-collar” fisherman with whom He associated. This was another reason He needed to be identified with a kiss when arrested. Also, since Jesus spent most of His time under the Mediterranean sun, His skin would have been tanned—not pale and even chalky as Christendom portrays.”

“The above article also stated, “From analysis of skeletal remains, archeologists had firmly established that the average build of a Semite male at the time of Jesus was 5 ft. 1 in., with an average weight of about 110 pounds. Since Jesus worked outdoors as a carpenter until he was about 30 years old, it is reasonable to assume he was more muscular and physically fit than westernized portraits suggest.””

The truth most likely seems that Jesus would have eaten very healthy and was very fit. But the most important concept is that Proverbs states “…but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity.” We need to obey what God wants and I know the Lord wants us to be healthy and fit to proclaim HIS work.

Does God want us to be Fit and Healthy?

Of course he does. In fact, this what one website says,

“JESUS INCREASED IN STATURE – verse 39.
His boyhood was an actual normal boyhood. His development was like that of all children. He came amongst men to learn all the features of our development, learnt from his family.
a) His development came from a healthy life style. Childhood needs respect for the body God has given so it will be useful. He would have ran and played with children of his age but without sin. We should keep our bodies fit and healthy.
b) His development came from using hands to get proficiency. Every Jewish child learned a trade. Saul learnt to use his hands to make tents to support himself so he would not depend on others Jesus learnt the trade of a carpenter. He was fit and healthy, he needed the physical stamina during those years of his ministry. Jesus walked for miles and spoke publicly for hours. He needed to be physically fit. Today we have lost the benefits of manual skills. It is important to develop manual skills in those who best suited for them.” http://waterfordhouse.blogspot.com/2008/02/jesus-in-nazareth.html

I hope that you can learn from myself and these guys on how to become more fit, lose weight, and do it all through Christ!

Boot Camps Raise Money To Help Women and Children

“Fitness Boot Camps” Offer Opportunity to Tone Up for a Good Cause

New Berlin, Wis. – A local fitness entrepreneur is offering residents an opportunity to get in shape for a good cause at a series of workouts starting July 18.

Jeremy Belter, who operates “Fat Blasting Fitness Boot Camps” in New Berlin, will donate all proceeds from his July sessions to The Women’s Center, a Waukesha-based agency that provides a broad spectrum of services to women and families in crisis.

The “boot camps” will be held at Star of Bethlehem Church, 3700 S. Casper Drive, New Berlin. The sessions are scheduled July 18 at 8 a.m., and July 20, 22 and 24, all at 5:30 a.m. Suggested minimum donation is $15 per session.

Each “boot camp” session is an intense 30-minute full-body circuit training regimen. Participants should bring their own exercise mat and dumbbells.

“The purpose of my fitness boot camps has always been to help people improve their physical and mental health,” Belter said. “It’s great to add another positive focus by benefiting The Women’s Center, which offers so much valuable assistance to troubled families and victims of domestic violence.”

Belter will boost the fund-raising power of the events by matching 50 cents on each dollar donated, up to $200. More information is available at http://www.bcwap.org/bootcamp_new_berlin_wisconsin.html

Belter, 31, has worked as a fitness boot camp coach for five years. He operates the “Fat Blasting Boot Camps” under the auspices of his company, Fitness4U. His charitable sessions are part of a nationwide initiative titled Boot Camps With a Purpose, started in 2007 by a fitness club owner in Exton, Pa.

The Women’s Center participates in numerous fund-raisers, but none literally as physically strenuous as the fitness boot camps, said Ken Genin, the center’s Director of Development.

“I really appreciate that Jeremy is doing this,” Genin said. “It’s contributions from individuals and businesses such as his that allow The Women’s Center to continue providing services to the community.”

Founded in 1977, The Women’s Center offers a broad array of services to women, children and families affected by sexual assault and domestic violence. The center, located at 505 N. East Ave., Waukesha, will hold its annual Jeri Phillips’ Walk for Family Peace Sept. 12 in Waukesha. More information is available at http://www.TWCWaukesha.org.

Great Nutritional Advice

When it comes to nutrition there are so many ideas.  Look around and you will find a new fad diet that will make you gain weight in the long run… I promise.  The most important concepts are moderation and eating for an active life.  Ask yourself these questions!  “Which foods are going to help create lean muscle tissue, give you energy, or help with your overall health?”.  Here is a secret.  This does not include a double quater pounder of anything except maybe veggies:)  Watch below for more information!

A Human or An Angel?

Today I have some writings from a special person that I will never forget.  I remember Julie emailing with me.  She was so encouraging despite her disease and sickness.  She never gave up and she had a heart of gold.  She asked for a promise before her death.  A request from those that knew her.  Here is Julie’s request to us!

“I believe I will not only live, but thrive after this transplant. That said, if I am wrong and if this is the end for me, I need your help. I expect all of you, who are ALL champions in your own right, to carry my torch. I think my story lit a spark in people and I want to keep the flame alive if I’m not here to do it myself.

The way I see it, I can’t lose. Surviving this transplant means a whole new life for me. Dying from this transplant means a whole new life for me. I’ve never been so at peace with something. This is my time to shine, so whether that light shines on Earth or in Heaven, may God’s will be done.

Please remember that I love you. You have brought immeasurable happiness into my life. My life has been a hard one, but very blessed at the same time, and I’m thankful to God for it. God bless and keep you every one! ”

Do Faith And Fitness Go Togther?

FAITH and FITNESS

Those two words don’t seem to go together well when you just look at them. Like the last peice of the puzzle that just does not fit.   But let me tell you, keeping your faith does fit well with your lives.

I remember my twin sister and I sitting on the front pews with our feet dangling as we played with the one toy mother let us bring as we stayed quiet through service. So eagerly wanting to go outside and play a.k.a fitness.

Growing older I entered the world of playing sports!  Now I could see how Faith in Christ and Fitness went together.  Enter the locker room before game day. Picture this…. My high school coach at Kenosha Tremper had us all grab hands and kneel and say the lords prayer. We also prayed to play at the top of our potential, no injuries on either side of the ball or court, and God willing that we could come out victorious. That was the first day that I saw what faith and believing in God, myself, and teammates was all about.  We had faith and we took action.  Faith with positive actions is what helped us that day.

Through Christ my faith is now stronger than ever before.  I know what its like to be on the very top and feel like everything is going great, then the next moment all you have is faith, hope and belief.

The Lutheran College I attended required chapel attendence and religion classes.   Faith now became embedded in me.  Now I understand what faith is and how the lord had helped me every single day with every single breath. From playing on NCAA conference championship teams to having games comes down to 1 point and all you have is faith and desire.

Faith is what has helped me go from the little chubby kid from Kenosha, Wisconsin to a up and coming blossoming personal trainers in the Wisconsin area. There have been times where my faith in Jesus is the only attribute that has kept my head up and moving forward.

Funny enough I was on my way to teach my Jungle Gym Bootcamp class today and realized I had a flat tire about 30 minutes before I was due to work. With having only changed one flat tire in my life, I knew this wouldn’t be easy!  But with prayer and faith I knew I could do it.  Luckily enough about 35 minutes later two men with the same truck I have came with the missing piece that I didn’t have to pull my spare down and were able to help me get it off and then put the spare tire on.

This day the Lord sent me two helpful servants.  All we can do sometimes is close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks to the lord!  A prayer for what he has put us through to equip us for HIS SERVICE.  Follow his lead and always stay faithful, because you never know when you will be the servent that changes someone elses life.

Now get to the gym, ask God for the faith and desire to have an amazing transformation and start at it one workout at a time.

What does this have to do with Faith?
Proverbs 11:24-25
One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.

1 Timothy 6:17-19
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
