BASIC Steps to Godly Fitness: Strengthening Your Body and Soul in Christ

This book has helped me get the focus off of food and onto God. I've read other books and programs of this type, but this one succeeded where others didn't quite hit the mark.

This book has been an eye opener and very encouraging in helping me make the connection between my body and The Lord. I strongly recommend it to those who struggle with food and weight issues.

Hope to get into it more soon, so far it is a good read. Hope to learn more and more.

Awesome

Doesnt tell anything I didnt already know.Has some pictures of stretches.Kinda a waste of money.......sor-ry!

Most of us have made the decision to go on a diet and incorporate an exercise program. Many of us have lost interest or found it more difficult than we thought it would be. The result was failure. We didn't reach our weight loss and health goal.Laurette Willis, personal trainer, public speaker and author of Basic Steps to Godly Fitness, provides solid information about why our diets can and often do more harm than good. Willis offers her vast experience with health and fitness to provide us with a biblical approach to fitness: a Christian alternative to yoga. She believes her program will encourage our spirit, refresh our souls and nourish our bodies.Willis provides practical suggestions to turn dull exercises that we really don't want to do into acts of worship. She gives simple and useful steps to better incorporate nutrition and fitness into our daily lives. These steps will bring lasting results. Willis discusses ways to overcome destructive thought patterns, make healthy choices and discover how forgiveness will free us. And she shows us ways to grow in our relationship with God.I found Basic Steps to Godly Fitness to be interesting, logical and easily understood. I personally found the information on stress to be a reminder that is worth reading and then re-reading. The photographs accompanying the exercise descriptions were sound and easily followed. And there are suggested menus and a few recipes that contain ingredients that most people have in their kitchens.This is a prayerful diet and exercise program worth taking a look at.

Laurette Willis brings it together for your body, soul, and spirit in her book "BASIC Steps to Godly Fitness". I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a well-balanced way of staying fit for the rest of your life. You can spend a lot of time researching many books for bodily exercise and others for feeding your soul and spirit. However, Laurette has all this and much more packaged together in this ONE book. Godly Wisdom and humor makes it hard to put the book down. I will refer to the book for years to come for advise in diet, recipes, and exercise programs.Reading this book brings to reality just what you hear from many physical trainers, and many Doctors...but Laurette has a way of writing so you can really make this an easy part of everyday living...

I can say in all honesty I have battled my weight and low level of fitness my entire life. I have been in every organized program, tried every diet and supplement, prescription or otherwise, and I have never been successful. Until now, when this book showed me the missing factor in all of it: God. In her book, the author leads you to see how fruitless it is to seek such life changes without the Lord. I find His strength pulling me in all the right directions now, and I feel this author has been truly inspired to help everyone.

I enjoyed reading this book and am reading it again. It is good as a daily reference on diet and exercise. It has enlightened me on what are good and bad diets. Above all its incorporation of scripture in exercise is simply marvelous. Christian ladies, buy it and you will be blessed.
