Jesse Duplantis Ministries Featuring: The Book of ACTS: The Relentless Advance of the Gospel, Vol 4 Pt 4 | Cathy Duplantis

The relentless advance of the Gospel is still God’s plan to reach the world. Acts 2:21 “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Receive Blessings from God Through Obedience

By: Francis Hirak Receiving blessings from God is contingent on obedience to Him.(Ex 23:25) God’s blessings rest upon the obedient ones, producing spiritual prosperity and filling their material needs, making itself evident in their homes, their land, their off spring, their animals, their food supply, their traveling, and in their every deed. God’s blessing is for "the head of the righteous one." (Prov 10:6-7) When we, as true Christians are faithfully obedient to His word, He is pleased to ‘open the floodgates of the heavens and actually empty out His blessings until there is no more want.’ (Mal 3:10)

Since the keyword is obedience in wining God’s favor, to receive His blessings, let us look at how Paul refers to obedience. In Rom 10:17, 16:26, (compare Acts 6:7) he shows that hearing plus faith produces obedience. Since true faith is the "assure expectation of things hoped for" and "the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld," and since it requires believing that God is "and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking Him," those having faith are moved to obey, having confidence and assurance as to the blessings that obedience will bring. (Heb 11:1-6)

There are times when God’s blessing comes after one goes through hard times and remains obedient to His Word, as Joseph did. Joseph was hated by his half brothers and sold into slavery. They hated him so much that they sold him to the merchant traders that were passing through for twenty silver pieces, even though he pleaded for compassion. (Gen 37:28; 42:21)

Eventually, the merchant traders brought Joseph into Egypt and sold him to Potiphar, the chief of Pharaoh’s body guard. (Gen 37:36) Even then he stayed obedient to God and showed himself trustworthy to Potiphar. With God’s blessing, every thing that Joseph did turned out successfully. When Potiphar entrusted Joseph as overseer of his house, all that he had he put under Joseph’s authority. (Gen 39:2-6)

Because of Potiphar’s wife, Joseph got thrown into prison where the king’s prisoners were kept. (Gen 39:11-20) Later, however, the chief officer of the prison house, (because of Joseph’s exemplary conduct under adverse circumstances and therefore God’s blessing being upon him), placed Joseph in a position of trust over the other prisoners. In this capacity, the prisoner Joseph, again through obedience, showed himself to be an able administrator by seeing to it that all the work was done. (Gen 39:21-33)

Again restored to his position, the cupbearer forgot all about Joseph for two full years, until Pharaoh had two dreams and no one could interpret the dreams. It was then that the cupbearer brought Joseph to Pharaoh’s attention and at once Pharaoh sent for him. Joseph then explained both of the dreams to Pharaoh, the one of plenty and the one of famine. Additionally, he recommended measures for alleviating the future conditions. (Gen 41:1-36)

Through God’s blessing Pharaoh recognized that the spiritual blessings of God were upon Joseph and that he was wise enough to administer affairs during the time of plenty and the time of famine. Joseph was therefore blessed and constituted second ruler in Egypt, Pharaoh giving Joseph his own signet ring, fine linen garments and a necklace of gold. (Gen 41:37-44)

And then there was Job who received God’s blessing through extremely hard times. Job was a man living in the land of Uz, in what is now Arabia. (Job1:1) God said concerning Job: "There is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?" (Job 1:8) Then Satan challenged Job’s integrity: Have You not made a hedge around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. "But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!" (Job 1:10-11)

After Satan, (through various means) took away first Job’s livestock and servants, then his children (Job 1:13-19), Job never charged God with folly or wrongdoing. Neither did he turn away from God, even when pressure was brought upon him by his wife and others, Job continually kept to God’s Word. (Job 1:20-22) He spoke the truth about God. (Job 42:8) He accepted reproof for being anxious to declare himself righteous and neglecting to vindicate God (Job 32:2), and he acknowledged his sins to God. (Job 42:1-6)

As an example for Christians who follow the course of obedience, we see God’s blessing through the book of Job. At the end of his faithful course, under testing, God constituted Job a priest for his three companions who had contended with him and God restored Job to his former status. He again had a fine family and God blessed Job with twice as much as he had before. All his relatives and former associates returned to pay respect to him and to bring him gifts. (Job 42:7-15) God blessed Job so much that he lived to see his children and grandchildren for four generations. (Job 42:16)

Through the prophet Ezekiel, God pointed to Job as an example of righteousness. (Ezek 14:14, 20) His patient endurance of suffering is set before Christians as a pattern, and his blessed outcome is pointed to as magnifying God, for the Lord is very compassionate and merciful. (James 5:11) The account of Job’s trialsome experience and God’s blessing gives great comfort and strength to Christians, and many Bible principles are highlighted and illuminated by the book of Job.

Likewise Noah was faithful and obedient to God. He proved himself faultless among his contemporaries, for Noah walked with God." (Gen 6:8-9) It was due to the possession of strong faith that Noah, in implicit obedience, did "according to all that God had commanded him." (Gen 6:22) It was because of his unwavering faith in God that the Christian writer of the book of Hebrews included him in that "so great a cloud of witnesses." He wrote: "By faith Noah, after being given divine warning of things not yet beheld, showed godly fear and constructed an ark for the saving of his household; and through this faith he condemned the world, and he became an heir of the righteousness that is according to faith." (Heb 11:7, !2:1)

When Noah and his family came out of the ark after the flood was over, God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. (Gen 9:1) The blessing from God makes one rich. And He adds no sorrow with it. (Prov 10:22) God’s blessing comes to those whom He approves by protecting, prospering, guiding, giving success and supplying their needs, with a beneficial outcome for them.

Flex Those Flexors: 3 Steps To Powerful Hips 

From BBcom!

If a few brief hip flexor stretches is your idea of mobility work, you're cutting yourself short. Make hip mobility a priority, and your reward could be a better squat and less back pain!

Matt Biss

I like to think of myself as a powerful, modern Highland warrior, or maybe a Viking. Had I been born 1,100 years ago I would have leapt first off the longboat to battle hundreds of enemies with a giant axe, or so the fantasy goes. But, it didn't take strength coach Matt Wattles long to put a pin in that balloon. All he had to do was ask me to raise my toes all the way up to his hands, and in an instant, I felt like a senior citizen with a hip replacement. That movement was hard.
Unfortunately hip mobility issues like these are some of the most common problems I see in the weightlifting population. However, the issues manifest differently in different people. In some, it's a basic inability to descend below parallel—or anywhere near it—in squat variations. In others, it can contribute directly to debilitating lower back pain, even in people who spend hours every week strengthening their backs.
The hip flexors in particular can be troublesome little cusses. These muscles are crucially tied to the functionality of everyone from elite athletes to senior citizens, but working them can make anyone feel silly. After all, you never see videos of Ronnie Coleman walking with his arms extended in front of him like a zombie, attempting to raise his toes up to his hands.
It's time to swallow your pride and get serious about this neglected area of your body. Use my three-pronged attack, and your weak hip flexors will simply have no choice but to get stronger and healthier.

Meet The Hip Flexors

The hip flexors are a group of five muscles that connect the femur (or thigh bone) to the pelvis. They move in one of two ways. When the pelvis is stationary, a contraction of the hip flexors will draw the femur upward—think the classic "goose step." Conversely, if the femur is stationary, a contraction of the hip flexors will tilt the pelvis forward and the butt back—think of the pull-back portion of Garth's many hip thrusts beginning at about 40 seconds in ... foxy lady!
Last month, I talked about the unique complexity of the shoulder, and how a problem there can produce effects throughout the upper body. Well, the hips are just as complicated, and pelvic dysfunction can be just as far-reaching. Your erectors, glutes, hamstrings, abdominals, quadriceps, hip flexors, and more all interact at this junction, and a problem with any one of them can lead to debilitating immobility and weakness in lifting and in life.
You may have been told that the answer is to undergo a barrage of awkward hip flexor stretches as often as possible. In truth, that's only part of the solution. As with the shoulder, you need to smash, stretch, and strengthen your hip flexors in order to improve them.

1. Come Unglued

The first step in building better hip flexors is to spend some painful minutes ungluing tissues that have been frozen from years of sitting at a desk. I recommend rolling, aka "self myofascial release."
You can roll on just about anything. I've used several different types of foam rollers, a Rumble Roller, lacrosse balls, PVC pipe, a number of weird stick-shaped things. I've also been getting great results using the Body Wrench, an awesome device that is basically a combination of all of the above. I have found that different materials are suitable for different areas on different bodies, so feel free to experiment and find what works best for you.

Keep adjusting your position until you find a hot spot, and then hold that position for at least 30 seconds.

To work these tissues, start by locating your iliac crest. Sounds like a rare bird species, but it's the top bony part of your hip that sticks out by your beltline. If you're using a lacrosse ball, simply move into a plank position on the ground and lay on the ball so that it presses into your hip just below the crest. Move side-to-side slowly, so the ball moves back and forth laterally several inches at a time.
Keep adjusting your position until you find a hot spot ("A what? I don't know what you're ... Oh! My God! There one is!"), and then hold that position for at least 30 seconds. Your first impulse will be to tense up when you feel tenderness, but it's important that you relax and continue to move around the area. Keep it up, and don't hurry. The more slowly and more often you can do this, the better.

2. Get On The Couch

Now that we smoothed out that old tissue and dislodged a few fossilized nasties, let's see what we can do about improving extensibility. The couch stretch is one of the most effective movements you can do for opening up your hip to the end range of motion. Adopt a kneeling position in front of something that you can use to hold your foot up (i.e., a couch). Your back knee should be completely flexed, meaning your heel is as close as possible to your butt.
It's easy to compensate in this position by hyperextending your lower back, but it's crucial that you don't. Instead, I want you to focus on squeezing your glutes and hamstrings, which will push your hips forward into a full-on "schwing." If your right foot is back, you should feel an intense stretch on the right front side of your hip. Hold it for a long time, like a minute or two, and then switch sides.

Like rolling, this is a movement that deserves to be done as often as you can tolerate. Physical therapist and coach Kelly Starrett has written that you should do it for two minutes on each side every half hour. That may be tough to manage, but the point is this: Frequent, long-duration stretches are the only stretches that will have any significant effect on your tissue length and mobility. If you want to improve, you have to commit.

3. Build Flexible Flexors

When I first began training, I assumed that because I had short, tight hip flexors, they must be strong. Wrong! Because we spend so much of our lives sitting—a position in which the hip flexors are passively contracted—most people's flexors are both short and weak.
The psoas, our primary hip flexor, is usually the weakest of the five flexors, and the other four hip flexors have to work more as a result. To test if this is the case for you, lift one knee well above 90 degrees and hold it there, ensuring that you do not compensate by moving your pelvis or leaning forward. If holding this for more than a few seconds is painful or impossible for you, your psoas suck. You are going to have serious trouble squatting to parallel or lower if these muscles can't do their job properly.
One way to strengthen the psoas is by performing the type of toe-lifting movements I mentioned at the start of the article. However, in this case I prefer to rely on closed-chain movements, where the hands are fixed and can't move. This small change makes it harder to cheat or compensate, allowing you to focus squarely on the movement.
My exercise of choice here is floor-slide mountain climbers. You will need some furniture moving pads, Valslides, or something similar that will slide smoothly on your floor. Paper plates even work well in a pinch. Put your feet on the sliders and move into a push-up position. To perform the movement, simply pull one knee at a time up toward your chest, going as high as you can while keeping your foot on the slider. You can alternate legs with each rep or do sets of one leg at a time. Don't expect it to be easy.

Floor Slides

Your hips may not lie, but they can really sidetrack your training if they fall out of whack. Implement this three-part plan, and your hips will be more effective in the gym and less prone to injury moving forward!

Getting A Quick Bite With Sports Nutrition

By: Jody Siena Athletes are busy people. They try to balance training with work, school, family and other activities. With all these responsibilities, athletes consume a lot of energy each day. Food preparation can become a challenge but it is a challenge that athletes need to face since good sports nutrition help to adequately fuel work-outs and improve performance and recovery.

Eating well should be a part of an athlete's overall training plan. But buying well is a requirement for eating well.

Nutritious meals begin at the grocery store. If you purchase the right ingredients, it's a cinch to whip up a nutritious and flavorful meal. Stocking up with healthy staples is critical to good sports nutrition and will give you many options when you get home from a workout. Here are some foods busy athletes must be armed with.

Freeze Health

• Frozen foods are time-savers. Many prepackaged frozen items let you use the exact amount you need thus cutting cleaning up time. Leftovers are also instant meals on a busy night.

• Freezing is an important method of preserving most nutrients. Frozen vegetables are a lot of help because they require no washing, chopping, or peeling. Serve vegetables as a side dish, or incorporate into soups, sauces, or pasta dishes.

• Frozen fruit has longer shelf-life and are easily available if supply of fresh ones is low. Frozen blueberries, mixed berries, and mangoes can be blended into a smoothie with fruit juice and milk or yogurt or used as cereal topping.

• Chicken breasts or fish fillets that are frozen in individual packing are a good protein source for your meals. Frozen meatballs provide variation and can be easily mixed with pasta.

Pantry Staples

Canned products don't compromise nutrition. Upon being harvested fruits and vegetables are processed to keep nutrients locked in.

• Beans that are canned are nutrient dense, and will load you with the important fuel for maximum growth and sports performance.

• Canned tuna and salmon are rich in protein and omega-3 fats, which have been shown to help conditions of cancer, heart disease, arthritis and mental health. Pasta dishes, salads and sandwiches can be given another character by including these in the recipe.

Peanut Butter is a good source of calories, and for busy athletes, an easy fill. Use this as sandwich spread and top with a banana or enjoy with carrot strips. Peanut butter is packed with healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats and vitamin E.

Popular among athletes is the use of tomato sauce. Processed tomatoes are concentrated with protective compounds. One half-cup of tomato sauce, for instance, contains six times more of the antioxidant lycopene than a medium fresh tomato.

Tomato sauce is usually cooked with pasta which is a staple of many athletes' sports nutrition diet. If available, use the whole grain variety because refined pasta has been stripped off of its vitamins, fiber and other nutrients. Frozen bell peppers and tuna can boost protein content of meals with tomato sauce. 

 A wide variety of whole grains must be explored, examples of which are brown rice and red rice. Whole grains take a little longer to cook so cook in medium batches just enough to have leftovers for the next day.

In the Fridge

Fridge wonders include prewashed and ready-to-eat salad greens and carrots, cheese, eggs, milk, and yogurt.

Soup: A mélange of quick-fix ingredients

Soups combine the textures and flavors of the different ingredients mentioned previously. Soups are not only satisfying but can contain the wide range of nutrients available in its ingredients. Soups are easy to concoct and make great leftovers.

Nutritious soups do not need endless chopping or toiling over a hot oven. Canned or frozen vegetables can make up your soup and they can be fixed on a microwave or stove top.

To make minestrone in minutes, combine canned crushed tomatoes with chicken or vegetables broth, canned beans, and frozen vegetables. Let simmer and enjoy.

To make gazpacho, in a blender or food processor, mix vegetable juice, canned tomatoes, minced garlic, red onion, cucumber chunks, bell pepper chunks, splash of red wine vinegar, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Vitamin C and other important nutrients load this combination. Gazpacho can even help decrease inflammation and oxidative stress.

Dr. Eric Berg Featuring: Hypothyroidism May Not Be a Thyroid Problem

If hypothyroidism may not be a thyroid problem, then what is the problem? Find out.

Did you know that the majority of hypothyroid conditions are not really a thyroid problem? 90% of all hypothyroid conditions are Hashimoto's. This is an autoimmune condition. With this autoimmune condition, the thyroid has antibodies that attack itself. This is immune dysfunction, not necessarily a thyroid problem. But, it does affect the thyroid.

  This could be why many people with this condition never see any change—because they're treating the wrong problem. If you look up hypothyroidism, you will see that the cause is low thyroid hormones. But what's causing the low thyroid hormones?  If you have hypothyroidism that's not involved with Hashimoto's, it could be secondary to something else. 80% of the conversion of T4 to T3 happens through the liver. So, if there's something going on with the liver or the gallbladder, it could mean that you're just not getting the conversion of T4 to T3.

 You could also have a situation where there is too much estrogen in the body. In this case, the estrogen can block the thyroid.  Some other data talks about consuming too many cruciferous vegetables being behind a thyroid problem. But, the studies on this are very sparse. You would also have to consume a tremendous amount of cruciferous vegetables to deplete enough iodine to cause a weakness in the thyroid. There is no data that says consuming cruciferous vegetables will kill the thyroid.  If you're worried about cruciferous vegetables causing a thyroid problem, you could steam them or ferment them. You could also have some sea kelp to help replace the iodine that could potentially be depleted by cruciferous vegetables. But, cruciferous vegetables can help regulate estrogen, and really, cruciferous vegetables benefit the entire body. 

 To help with different thyroid problems, you may want to avoid:  
 • Soy  
• Gluten Hashimoto's, being an autoimmune condition, usually involves some type of immune dysfunction. There are some interesting links between EBV and Hashimoto's. 

There is also a connection between gut problems and Hashimoto's. A few things you can do: 
• Restore the gut (healthy keto and intermittent fasting) 
• Selenium  
• Zinc 
• Garlic  
• Lower stress

Netrition The Internet's Premier Nutrition Superstore Featuring: Frontera Barbacoa Slow Cook Sauce for Beef

Netrition - About Us

Netrition.com is the Internet's Premier Nutrition Superstore. The company was started in 1996 by two brothers who were into health and fitness and wanted to change the way you could access nutritional supplements. In 1996, you had two options: go to GNC and pay full retail or go online and make a purchase from an unsecured site, where you were presented only with a listing of the brand and product name, and then pray you got what you thought you ordered. Sadly, most went to GNC and paid full retail. That's where Netrition came in. We brought consumers not just a listing of the brand and product name, but also a full product description with nutrition facts and an image. This enabled the consumer to know exactly what they were going to get when placing an order at our web site. And we did it for a fraction of the cost one would pay at stores like GNC. That combined with lightning fast delivery and superior customer service has made us the force in the nutritional supplement industry we are today.

Netrition - The Internet's Premier Nutrition Superstore!   In the beginning, Netrition provided largely bodybuilding supplements and vitamins. However, shortly thereafter we started offering a variety of low carb products. This was long before low carb dieting/eating went mainstream.
While we have grown leaps and bounds from our start in the basement of a house, we have always maintained that small business mentality where management is an integral part of the daily operation and customer satisfaction is our number one priority.
We currently operate out of offices and warehouse totaling approximately 42,000 square feet. The warehouse is 100% climate controlled with four large walk-in freezers to keep all perishable products frozen until the day they ship to the consumer. And our order fill accuracy rate is over 99.99%.
Mission:
To provide our customers with the products they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle. To provide these products at competitive prices, with the fastest shipping time and with superior customer service.
Products:
We stock a wide variety of supplements ranging from bodybuilding/sports nutrition to low carb and keto foods, to general vitamins and herbs, to gluten free foods.

The Rock Almighty Devotional, Praise, and Worship with SERAIAH

Who [with reason] despises the day of small things? ...

— Zechariah 4:10 (AMPC)

Small Beginnings

Adapted from the resource Ending You Day Right - by Joyce Meyer
 

Right now, you’re probably believing God for something big to come to pass in your life—maybe a job, a relationship, a dream, or something else deep in your heart. If you look, you’ll find evidence of a small beginning. God always gives you seed—even if only a little, tiny seed—something that causes you to hope. Focus on that seed. Rejoice over that seed. It’s a sign of greater things to come.

When you despise something, you regard it lightly; you count it as nothing and don't take care of it. But if you don't take care of what God gives you, you will lose it. That’s why we have to learn to be content while things still seem small.

You know God is the Author and the Finisher of our faith, and everything else in our lives (see Hebrews 12:2). What He starts, He always completes (see Philippians 1:6). Don't kill your seed by complaining or speaking negative things over it. Instead, say things like, "Lord, this is only a little thing right now, but thank You for giving me some hope, something to hold on to. Thank You, Jesus, for a beginning."

Prayer Starter: Father, thank You for the beginnings You’ve placed in my life, even though they may be small. Please help me to care for those seeds well, and to trust You to bring the big dreams in my heart to life. In Jesus’ Name, amen.

A Lost Revelation

By: Ian Conza Job 28:12: But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?

We walk day after day in this fallen world and many times cry out for a miracle from our Heavenly Father.

As He sits there upon His throne in Heaven and hears the heart cry of one of His children whom He loves so dearly, tears flow down His face as He listens so attentively to the words being cried out into the heavens.

This one is poor in spirit the Heavenly Father says as He sends his answer, if only, if only He would ask me for my wisdom for the circumstance he finds himself in and I would give it to him liberally.

For where my wisdom is, understanding is found there as well.

If you are in the wilderness and been crying out for a miracle of God, why not stop asking for a miracle and start asking for His wisdom on how to deal with the situation you find yourself walking in.

Proverbs 4:5: Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

Our Heavenly Father would say, I have told them what the curses are and what the blessings are and yet they want to walk their lives upon this earth miracle to miracle and not under my blessings.

They have failed to see and understand that if they walk in my wisdom and have my understanding then my blessings will fill their lives beyond measure.

Proverbs 16:16: How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

Many in my kingdom chase and seek with all that they are the gold and silver of this world and wonder why their lives have become so desolate, barren of the things that they need in their lives to complete the work I have for them upon this earth.

My words to these children would be to stop asking for a miracle and ask me for wisdom on how to manage and apply what you have been given and then you will begin to see my blessings come upon your lives.

Faith and works go together as my do my children who are neatly being fitted together as spiritual building blocks with my Son - Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone.

If you do not have faith in me to supply all your needs then you will not have any works, therefore I cannot work in your lives.

Proverbs 18:21: Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Speak to me about wisdom and I will speak to you about life, your life, and you shall eat the fruit thereof as my plan for you is to be a lender and giver to all in all things that I place in your hands.

A giver of my word and my way to all men you shall be and you shall eat of the good fruit of these men in these lands.

My kingdom is a kingdom of power and not of word and when men have their eyes opened they shall truely see that I am alive and rule from my heavenly throne room and my heart is for those that turn their hearts towards me.

Who am I (and who are you)? I am a soldier in the Lord Jesus Christ, called upon not to be of this world but to die to it and myself.

I am not a citizen of any country of this world but a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Tomorrow’s Stars Basketball

By: Brett Rainbow If you have developed an interest in the sport, you may have considered USA basketball tours. Basketball is taken very seriously in the States, and it is a good idea to develop an understanding of the organizations and categories before you take a tour.

A Little History

USA Basketball is the nonprofit organisation and governing national body for basketball in the United States. The company is based in Colorado Springs and was established in 1974 as the Amateur Basketball Association of the U.S. The name was changed in 1989 after the rules were modified by FIBA to allow professional players to participate in competitions.

As the governing body recognised by FIBA (International Basketball Federation) and USOC (United States Olympic Committee), USA Basketball has the responsibility to select, train and field USA teams.

The Member Categories

There are five categories of basketball in U.S Basketball. The three professional leagues are the National Basketball Association, National Basketball Association Development League, and Women’s National Basketball Association. These are the teams you will see on NBA basketball tours. There is also a collegiate category that has the National Collegiate Athletic Association, National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes and National Junior College Athletic Association as members.

The Scholastic category features the National Federation of State High School Associations. While the Youth category contains the Amateur Athletic Union. The final category is the Associate category with members including the Harlem Globetrotters, National Basketball Players Association, National Wheelchair Basketball Association, United States Armed Forces and College Commissioners Association.

The Stats

Between 2009 and 2012, there were 1273 players and 235 coaches participating in USA Basketball. The teams compiled a fantastic 264/35 win loss record across FIBA competitions and other championships and competitions.
The competitions USA teams participate in include FIBA World Championships, the Olympics, Nike Hoops Summit, FIBA 3x3 World Championships, World University Games and Pan American Games.

USA basketball tours allow you to see the biggest names in basketball. The tours are designed to allow you to take a tour of some of the best NBA basketball teams for a true fan experience. There are extra options including sightseeing, functions, and dinners, allowing you an exceptional, once in a lifetime opportunity.

| Home Body: 8-Week At-Home Fitness Plan | 
This two-month workout plan helps you save big by kicking your own booty in the convenience, comfort, and privacy of your home. With YouTube fitness star Kym Nonstop as your guide, you'll improve every aspect of your fitness—strength, cardio, lean muscle mass, mobility, and flexibility—in just a few short weeks and with little equipment needed.

 | Use Your Body to Change Your Body | 
The Home Body workouts combine strength training, timed cardio intervals, AMRAP, yoga, mobility training, and kickboxing for an exciting all-in-one eight-week plan to work up a sweat and build lean muscle and strength in your abs, glutes, shoulders—everywhere you need it! You can use dumbbells, kettlebells, or a jump rope if you have them, but you don't need them to get a serious workout and take your fitness to the next level.

 | Expert Instruction | 
Home Body offers follow-along home workouts that are completely streamable on any device or smart TV. YouTube fitness star and SoulCycle instructor Kym Nonstop will guide you through every squat and plank of every muscle-building, fat-burning workout!

 | Nutrition and Supplement Plan | 
Strength training requires quality calories. Kym believes in getting nutrients from whole foods, so the nutrition plan is packed with veggies, fruits, nuts, grains, and lean proteins. You'll get a week of delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes designed by an award-winning chef, to fuel your workouts as you build your fitness.
