Spotting is something I learned when I was dancing & it's something I honestly think should be implemented into lifting as well. I see people looking all over the place or allowing their eyes to wander as they go through movements & it not only takes focus away from the lift but can also affect balance & key control during the movement. Do you need to watch yourself in the mirror? Not necessarily but pick a spot out in front of you. Could be a spec on the floor. Could be a spot on the wall. Could be something in the far distance. Pick one & see what happens to your lifts👀 l've found that when I cue this, people tend to find much more stability & the effort behind the movement also locks in🙂‍↕️

Father, we come before You not asking for comfort, but for fire. 🔥 Awaken us, Lord. Stir the hearts of Your people across this nation — in the pews, the cities and the small towns, in the schools, in the workplaces, and in the streets. We confess that we have too often been content to hear Your Word and go home unchanged. We have been admirers of Jesus when You called us to be followers. Make us doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving ourselves. Let the truth we sing on Sunday become the way we walk on Monday. Let it show up in our homes, our workplaces, our neighborhoods. Break our hearts for what breaks Yours. Give us boldness where we have been silent! Send us! Not someday, not when we feel ready, but now. Send us out into the world seeking and saving the lost, because that is what the Jesus came to do. He said, "As the Father has sent me, so I send you." Do it again in our generation, God. Not for our platforms or our reputations, but for the glory of Jesus Christ and the salvation of souls. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Hey family! We are currently working on another course in our classroom and we wanted to give you a little sneak peak at which one it is🤭 The 30 Day Temple Challenge course is on it's way and we are super excited about it! A little teaser for you all: This course has a focus on prayer, movement, and habits that increase each week and expands our walk and discipline over the course of 30 days🔥 Does this interest anyone in the group? What are you hoping to see in a challenge like this if you were considering participating?

Temple family, it's a new week and with that comes new challenges and opportunities. If you are in need of prayer, please leave us a comment so we can pray over you. We want to lift up all our community members as we value you and your presence here with us. So please don't hesitate to put in a prayer request. We hope everyone has a fantastic week🙏🏽

No more wobbling with these adjustments👍🏽 Half kneeling stances can be tricky if you don’t know how to root yourself firmly into the stance. It’s hard to work from a stance that is not rock solid. These are cues I normally focus on with clients when they are new to half kneeling stance movements. Tucking your toes gives you a firm base so you don’t slide around & completes the chain. While tucking your hips adds more stability. Creating a strong foundation for upper body half kneeling movements. These cues also work for other half kneeling movements like rows, overhead press, and chops as seen in the video below👇🏽 If you haven’t tried this yet, give it a go!
