What does God have to do with Fitness and Nutrition?
EVERYTHING! We must take care of
health by taking a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual
approach. The Bible tells us that our bodies are a temple of God
and treating them with respect and working towards greater health
brings honor to God. See the "Rewards Journal" and "Truth Journal"
in the Documents section.
Many of the “rules” we have set on ourselves are not from God. Try not to listen to diet rules and regulations from the world. You are free in Christ, but this doesn’t’ mean free to be self-indulgent and greedy. Our bodies will tell us the amount of food, exercise, and sleep that we need. All women need to listen to these cues in their bodies on the journey to greater health.
See Weekly Scriptures for encouraging words each week.

Do I have to go on a special diet with P31 Fitness?
Diets seldom work. It is
just more rules to follow. With diet rules, it is easy to set
yourself up for failure. When “cheating” occurs, it is easy to go
off the diet.
P31 Fitness asks that you take a new approach. Listen and Lose. Begin to listen to your body. Learn to listen to your basic hunger and fullness scale inside your body. Your body will tell you what and how much you need, if you will just begin to tune in to the hunger and fullness mechanism. Restricting yourself from certain food groups is unhealthy, and often leads to uncontrolled eating. View the nutrition section for more detilas about our nutritional philosophy.
You can also print "Daily Food Journals" in the Documents section.

What supplements do you recommend and support in P31 Fitness?
You will not find "quick fixes" , "miracle pills" or "special diet
foods" supported or endorsed by P31 Fitness.
The only supplement that we endorse and recommend, is JUICE PLUS+. It is whole food supplementation, supported by doctors and research all around the world. The solid research is what sets Juice Plus+ apart from every other supplement on the market today.
Doctors are recommending that we need to eat 9-13 servings of fruits and vegetables every day for the prevention of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and many degenerative diseases. Not to mention for quality daily health!
However, not many people get this USDA recommendation for fruits and vegetables every day, so America has tried to "fix" this problem by taking synthetic vitamins. The problem with synthetic vitamins, is that the body doesn't know what to do with isolated vitamins. The body needs the whole food source to process the nutrients. Juice Plus+ is exactly that. It is 17 different fruits, vegetables, and grains that have been juiced, dried and put into capsule form.
JUICE PLUS+. is the best decision you will make for you and your families' health. It helps to bridge the gap in our nutrition and gives the security of knowing quality building blocks are going into your body every day.

How much water should I be drinking?
When you wake up in the
morning, first thing, you need to drink a large glass of water (at
least 12 oz). Your cells need to be re-hydrated.
Throughout the day, aim to drink at least ½ of your body weight in ounces. Your muscles and cells need water for fuel. Your body is over 70 % water. Water should be your drink of choice!

What are antioxidants and what do they do?
Antioxidants help to fight the
oxidative stress that occurs in our bodies. Oxidative stress is
caused by lack of sleep, stress, and exercise. Oxidative stress
leads to free
radicals in the body, which
damage our cells. Damaged cells can lead to illness, disease, and
injury.
The only way to fight these free radicals is by consuming more antioxidants.
These antioxidants need to come from whole, fresh, fruits and veggies. Aim to eat 9-13 servings each day. Taking Juice Plus+ is a great way to bridge this gap and protect our cells every day.
It is like an insurance policy for your health.

Why does soreness occur, and how long will it last?
The reason that your
body is sore after doing a new workout, is that the muscle fibers
are changing and growing. Soreness is not a bad thing, but a sign
that you are changing and improving parts of your body.
P31 Fitness does not have a “No Pain, No Gain” philosophy, however, in order to change and improve your body, you need to challenge it in new ways, which will often lead to sore muscles.
For soreness, the best thing to do is to do a low intensity exercise in the evenings, or on your non-P31 class days. Activities such as walking, swimming, or yoga will help to relieve soreness in the muscles. Stretch often, ice and keep the muscles moving.

How can I spot train and get rid of extra weight in certain places?
Spot training does not
work. Weight is only lost when more calories are expended than
those taken in through food consumption. Doing millions of sit-ups
will not allow a flat stomach. Lifestyle health means finding a
balance between exercise and eating. Balancing your intake/output
equation.
What does my body fat percentage and my BMI represent?
These two measurements
can determine your health and risk of disease, more than scale
weight. Use the "Body Tracker" in the Documents section to monitor your
progress. We do quarterly evaluations where you can see your
measurements and Body Fat %. Use these as a guide to see what
improvements you are making.
The most accurate measure of fitness and health is your Body Fat %. Body Fat % is simply the % of your weight that is fat tissue and represents your lean body mass in relation to your fat body mass. Lean body mass is your bones, muscles, water, blood, etc. We want to increase lean body mass through weight training and muscle building. BMI is your body mass index is mostly calculated using your weight and height. This measurement is not completely accurate, as it doesn't take into account your muscle mass and body type. As this happens, the Body Fat % and BMI will both be reduced. These can be tested using different measuring devices. Contact P31 Fitness, LLC for more information.

How many days a week should a exercise and what types of exercise should I do on non-P31 days?
You should try to do
some kind of physical activity 5 days of the week. Use the "Workout
Tracker" in the Documents section. Be sure to take
one or two days completely off each week to let your body and
muscles rest and recover. Doing some form of flexibility and light
exercise on days off will help you maintain the muscle and fitness
progress you previously made through P31 sessions.
