Pushing Pass The Burn









Every class there should be a point in your workout that you find yourself "Pushing Pass the Burn."

The more you reach, the further you will stretch. The more you push, the farther you will go.

Oh yes, the more you work pass your level, the quicker you will experience the burn called fatigue.

Burn is good...pain is not. The body will always send you signs as to what is functional and what is straight out an injury. The sensations are very different. You can continue the workout through an initial burn, you may not be able to through an injury.


When you feel the burn in any part of your body, it is because you are fatiguing that muscle group. Blood & oxygen and other chemicals are rushing to aid those muscle so you can complete the exercise. Once you stop the movement the burning sensation stops. By stressing the muscle group you are training it to become stronger and more durable for stamina & growth.







Monday I had the pleasure of putting this very topic into practice with our sister Joyce Carson. Her and I put the music on and went for it an entire hour.

The burn presented itself in muscle groups I forgot I had. The burn was serious however, very encouraging all the same, because of the fact we knew there would be great benefits later for pushing pass the burn to get to the other side.







Joyce worked really hard and she went pass her stopping point. It's kinda hard to stop when TNT Tiger is right on your hips sweating it out along with you, while yelling in your ear... "Don't You Stop...Get that Leg Up...You're NOT Finish....I'm right here with you & I'm NOT gonna Let YOU GIVE UP!!!!!"

The source of energy that comes forth when you bear down is incredible.....That is why I lean on everyone the way I do, because I want you to realize the strength residing on the inside of you.

To sister Joyce, I appreciate all your hard work and look forward to many more sessions in the future with you in my front row, "Pushing Pass the Burn."

THE MESSAGE IN THE TEST






Have you ever looked over your shoulder and asked yourself, why in the world did this happen to me or someone as nice as them? Have ever wished you could go back in time to change a devastating situation around?






Well, if you haven't....you are bound to sooner or later.

There are so many unexpected occurrences that transpire in our lives....how in the world could we be ready for them when they hit our families suddenly? I don't care how prepared we make ourselves for this or that...when it hits, it still shakes the very foundation we're standing on.

The best in us at times can reach a cracking point, depending on the amount of pressure applied. It has been often said; Prayer changes things. Mainly your outlook in a given situation. Until we can get ourselves to look deeper into the issue to attempt to find the real meaning behind it. We can't go any further into seeing a miracle come about due to blockage on our part.

I've seen so many situations turn around in my life, when I changed my posture from aggressive to forgiving. One might say; Lisa, how can I forgive someone who took my sons life? The same way God forgave us for taking His sons life...... Of course we we're there, but our ancestors were. They witnessed it, whether involved or not...they didn't stop it.

It takes a lot of maturity to step out on FAITH and FORGIVE someone for a crime or accident. However, the moment you make the decision to release a guilty person from the harm they caused....You can begin to heal your own heart from the anger, pain and the devastation which occurred....






It never cease to amaze me how beautifully the Spirit of God can restore us to a place of peace again.....He knows the way we defend ourselves is through lashing out in rage & anger...but it never leaves us with peace, just vengeance. We want to fight and see to it, the persons FEELS the pain they have put the victims & their families through....It never truly appeases at all.

However, if you can step back from a situation when know one is around and ask yourself the question....What is the message in this test....then watch carefully to see the outcome unfold. It could very well be an answer to something major down the road.......

Everything we go through in life prepares us for the next thing coming behind it...all aren't tragic nor all glamours...whatever they maybe, lessons can and should be learned from them...so we can help someone else come through with a since of survival.

Whatever you're confronting at this time, get still and ask yourself, what good could possibly come out of this whole thing? What has it opened my eyes up to? Could it be an indication of more of the same down the road? Should I change directions and rethink other options for my life?

The answers are there, if we take the necessary time to set aside FEELINGS & EMOTIONS and get on our knees and ask God to show us what direction to go from this moment forward. He knows all, He sees all. He can't help us, if we never call on Him....






The Message In The Test is always there.
All we have to do is step back and it will become clear.
