Strength in any form is a function of your thoughts.  In fact I will take it a step further.  Strength, whether physical, emotional or other is a posture you take, which is supported by your faith and relationships.

Any individual can build big muscles, the process for that is settled science.  I know many people in the gym who have massive muscles who are truly weak, empty and vulnerable inside.    I contend that true strength is obtained when we develop our physical, emotional and spiritual strength from the inside out. 

In my audio series “Strength Without Massive Muscle”, I talk about building strength, click here to listen…

Fat (function): serve as an energy source and facilitate the use of vitamins by the body. They also provide satiety and warmth for the body (NASM, 2008).

Are proper Nutrition and Exercise a family priority?

Have you ever sat down with your husband and wife and discussed your family agenda?  Have you ever taken the time to consider your family’s course?  Even further, what activities are you building into your life and your children’s lives that support your family’s priorities? 

Family’s need structure and priority.  Family’s need to have a written list of objectives and daily activities that support these objectives.  When you manage your family activities this way it provides a sense of purpose and clarity for you entire family.  Without planning this way you allow outside forces to determine your family’s identity.

Where does proper nutrition and exercise fit in your family objectives and daily activities?  I believe it should be somewhere near the top the lists.  In fact I believe that it is as essential learning reading, math, science and language.

If you have not set down with your husband and wife to create a set of written family objectives and activities I suggest you do so today.  I would also include your children in this process.  Following this planning process you must take action.  You must act on what you have identified as the most important objectives for your family.  Otherwise you have wasted your time and created confusion for your family.

I have a resource I would like to suggest for you and your family.  It is a book titled “How To Eat Move and Be Healthy“.  It is written by Paul Chek, a world renowned Holistic Health Practitioner.  It is a great place for family’t to start their Nutrition and Exercise learning.  You can actually read the first chapter for free by visiting the following site:
