The most important principle I hope to have stressed is that EXERCISE IS NECESSARY for good health. The kind of exercise you do is not quite as important as finding something you enjoy and sticking to it.
But some people (I’m one of them) like routine. Some people need structure — so I have layed out an excellent (but simple) exercise regime.
“PraiseMoves is…the Christian alternative to yoga. And I’m always careful to let people know: it’s not Christian yoga. I call that an oxymoron or a contradiction in terms. It’s like someone saying they’re a Christian Buddhist or a Christian Hindu — there’s no such thing.” If you have not read why Willis says “Christian Yoga Is An Oxymoron,” you can do so now.
According to Laurette Willis, founder of PraiseMoves, “Yoga is the missionary arm of Hinduism and the New Age movement.”
And this is not her own opinion, but what Hindu practitioners have claimed since at least 1991. Swami Sivasiva Palani warns Christians, “A small army of yoga missionaries – hatha, raja, siddha and kundalini – beautifully trained in the last 10 years, is about to set upon the western world. They may not call themselves Hindu, but Hindus know where yoga came from and where it goes.”
“I sensed the…time would come, and that time is now, when people would be so deceived that they thought yoga was just exercise.” But, according to Willis, the very definition of yoga reveals that yoga is not just exercise. Yoga is a form of worship to one of 330 million Hindu deities. And, she claims, it is the missionary arm of Hinduism, promotes salvation by works, and is designed to prepare its practitioners for death and entrance into a new life through reincarnation.
Laurette Willis shares, “I was deeply involved in New Age, mysticism. I was a psychic. I was a channel or open vessel for demonic spirits. And all the time I was thinking that I was serving God. But I was dead.”
It wasn’t long after the pogo shenanigans that the trampoline got a hole, ending our trampoline fun. But the memories live on.
And as it turns out, having that trampoline might have helped us kids stay healthy by stimulating our lymphatic circulation.
Have you ever considered why humans value the first steps of their children? When a child it born, the first thing he or she does is breathe the breath of life. Next the child needs nourishment to survive. Soon the child begins to crawl. However, if a child crawled its entire life — it would indicate that something was wrong with the child’s development.
God knows that we need exercise to function at our best. He cares about our health. When we apply His principles, He will heal our bodies so we can live life to its fullest.
At Reformed Health — we teach the Biblical principles of wellness so people can better serve Christ in their calling. We’ve talked about water, exercise, food, air, circulation, and so much more — but never have we addressed health from this most fundamental perspective.
One of my favorite excuses for not exercising regularly is “I don’t have enough time.” Fortunately, I have learned an exercise technique that can be done in as little as 12-minutes, 3 times a week and (according to Dr. Mercola) is more affective for your health than 5 hours of moderate exercise.
It may sound too good to be true — but I have experienced the benefits myself.
Dr. Mercola’s Peak Fitness is based on a technique called High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). It involves exerting your body “as hard and fast as you can for 30 seconds.” Mercola continues, “You should be gasping for breath and feel like you couldn’t possibly go on another few seconds.” He recommends more intensity in repetition over resistance Continue reading “12 Minute Cardio Technique that Outperforms 5 Hours of Moderate Exercise”
