Beachbody Body Gospel Core Revelation
Good christian health means treating your body as a temple. It’s so easy to gain a few pounds (or maybe many more) in a world full of fast food and electronic conveniences. Donna Richardson understood these struggles when she created an in home fitness dvd program called Body Gospel.
Body Gospel combines faith and fitness through prayer, scripture, journaling, and exercise. The program is only 30 days long. It is long enough to create a new healthy habit – a new healthy lifestyle of eating right, exercising, and reaching deep within your faith to honor christian health and the calling of respecting your body as a temple.
I am sitting here now feeling quite relaxed and glad that I worked out. My body feels good and so does my spirt. I just did the Body Gospel workout called Core Revelation. It is a 20 minute core and lower body workout for the abs, back, thighs, and buns. It uses bands that were designed specifically for the Body Gospel program.
The bands are unique in two ways. The handles are more like ski pole handles than the traditional stirrup design of most bands. The other unique feature is there is a stirrup at the other end that goes over your foot. This allows you to use two bands at one time and gives you a more fluid motion than you get when using one traditional band.
Core revelation strengthens and stretches the core muscles as well as your legs and buns. If you have love handles or back fat, Body Gospel can help you get your body back. When Donna has you to reach to the heavens, you can feel more than the stretch. You can feel the communion of your higher power.
Donna uses encouraging words throughout the workout. She tells you to lift up praises to heaven when you stretch overhead and to pull down your blessings when you bring your arms back down. I have never used another workout program that combines christian music, exercise, and the continuity of faith and fitness throughout. It really does support christian health and the philosophy that your body is a temple.
I followed the Core Revelation workout with a short 10 minute workout called Stretch in the Spirit. It was on the schedule with the core workout and seemed like a natural extension of the core workout. The moves in the stretch workout were all basic. Both of these workouts would make excellent morning workouts to start your day with stretching, praise, and rejuvenation.
