Assessing Your Fitness Journey Featuring Justin Watkins (EP. 184)

Men of Iron Podcast

Justin Watkins is back on the pod as dive into Week 3 of our Fitness & Health Series. Last week we talked about how to start your fitness journey and provided some practical first steps. Remember, it's important to focus on the physical part of your fitness journey, but do not neglect the spiritual, emotional and mental components as well. Today I want to talk to the guy who is already on the climb of his fitness journey, maybe on the mountain just above the tree line. You've been committed to some new fitness routines for a season or two. This part of the climb is beyond the early stage of working through those pressing pain points of your initial goals and health needs. Remember, it takes at least 90 days of consistency in a habit or routine before you should be evaluating the progress. At this point, your fitness efforts are becoming a more natural part of who you are, rather than something you’re striving to do. This is going from, “I want to work out” to having a mindset of, “I am a person who works out,” So we are at the pitch of the mountain, and you’re here to pause for a bit and assess the journey. Here are 3 reasons why: #1 - You are now ready and need to go deeper into the spiritual and emotional dynamics related to your fitness journey #2 - You need to look back down the mountain and celebrate the progress you’ve made #3 - Perhaps the climb is getting weary and you need to check off those first two reasons in order to refocus your vision and refresh your energy to get moving "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Listen to the Men of Iron Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Alexa, Google Podcasts and many more! Subscribe, listen and share!
