Friday – Eleven Days for the Transfer of Power

1 John 3:1 (KJV)

 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Thought For The Day:

Christ is King. There’s no real celebration of Christmas unless He reigns in us!!

Surprising Ways to Beat Diabetes

Maintain a Consistent Work Schedule

Women who worked erratic schedules that included a mix of day, evening, and night shifts each month had an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared with women who always worked days or evening, according to a study from Harvard School of Public Health. The researchers point out that shift work throws off body rhythms and sleeping patterns and has been linked to obesity, which is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes.

Exercising Tips

Cable Crunch

 Round your back by contracting your abs as you bring the rope down without changing the placement of your hands.

Decline Crunch w/ Plate

Curl up high but go down only to where your lower back barely touches the pad.  Adjust the bench angle to increase/decrease difficulty.  Keep your head and neck aligned with your spine throughout the exercise.
