Trying to be the faster disciple?…Not sure who will get this but this running warm up is great for anyone wanting to run a mile, sprint, or go on a jog. Steps are below💪🏽 If you experience pain or discomfort when running in your knees, in your mid foot (plantar area), ankle, hips or back consider adding one of the options underneath the basic warmup💥 The primary focus of this warm up is to get your joints and nervous system prepped as well as get your gait mechanics in correct order for the effort you are about to put forward. 1. Walking alternating Knee Hug 2. Walking alternating quad stretch with overhead reach 3. Walking alternating figure 4s 4. Walking alternating hamstring scoops 5. Worlds greatest stretch 6. Lunge with reach 7. Walking on toes 8. Walking on heels 9. Leg swings lateral and sagittal 10. Pogos 11. Snap downs Knee💥 1. Use assisted sissy squats and lying leg raises to warm up your quads & hip flexors. Mid foot aka plantar💥 2. Roll your foot out on a lacrosse ball while making small stops around other parts & pushing into the ground. Do this one foot at a time and add some calf foam rolling for more. Ankle💥 3. Try some ankle rolls, some inversion/eversion drills, or ankle stiffness drills to build more strength in your ankle. Hips and back💥 4. Add some core activation or glute/hamstring/quad activation movements to your warm up. Think glute bridges, some hip abductions, a hamstring plank or 2, forward lunges with emphasis on knee travel, or anti rotation core movements. These provide a great foundation for your run. Now all there is to do is to put on some good music, remind yourself of your goal for the session, use your effort as an active of worship, and give it your all! Got any questions?

Something I want us to sit with this week: Are you training your body more consistently than you're training your faith? 🏋️‍♀️ There's no shame in that question. It's one worth asking honestly. 1 Timothy 4:8 tells us both matter. Bodily training has value, but godliness has value in every way. In this community, we're not just building stronger bodies. We're building stronger people, spirit included. What does your faith training look like this week? Share one thing you're doing to strengthen both. Let's keep each other accountable. 1 Timothy 4:8 "For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." Build the whole person. Body and spirit, together. Your body is a temple. Train like it!

Hey Temple family💪 Quick question for the week: What's the thought that shows up most right before you skip a workout or make a choice you regret?👀 Is it 'I'll start Monday'? 'I'm too tired'? 'What's the point'? We all have one. And the good news? Romans 12:2 tells us those patterns AREN'T permanent. Our minds can be renewed. Drop your answer below👇 Let's call these thoughts out together and start replacing them with something stronger🗣️
