Core Fitness-Keeping in Shape


You may have heard the word “core” related to fitness before and are not sure what it means.  Core fitness works all the muscles that attach to your hips, pelvis, lower back, abdominals, ribs, and shoulder blades.  Every time you lift, bend, reach, push, pull, twist, sit, stand, or walk you are using your core, so these muscles are vital to every movement we make in our daily lives.
            The Bible describes the Church as the body of Christ and our core muscles are our core values.  Knowing and building these core values (muscles) will keep us focused and on track for the mission God has called us to pursue. This Sunday we are beginning a six-week series that will look at our core values.  Each week we will post the core value on our web site.  Let’s start from the core, the center of the body where movement originates, and stay fit to fulfill our calling to grow in our relationship with Christ as well as help others do he same.  The benefits are eternal!
