'Get Up Offa Your Thang' & Feel Better

“Get Up Offa That Thang…” and feel better.  James Brown knew what he was talking about years ago, even before exercise was as popular as it is today.  Dancing & roller-skating to music was a very good form of moving the joints and draining some excess water from our bodies through sweat.  You should be able to remember those “house parties”.

Dyan Dunagan used Leslie Sansone DVD's

 This post is written to continually encourage us to get up and do a little something to better our lives.  We need to establish a little ‘Accountability’ and a lot of ‘Commitment’.  ‘We are Winners’ & we can make a positive change for the good.

At the tender age of 63, I am not as limber as I use to be.  Yes, I get a ‘snap, crackle & pop’ in my joints as I exercise & it ain’t Rice Krispies.  It takes much effort to do a ‘plank’ and hold it for 25 seconds, or 25 abdominal crunches, or hold a ‘hollow-man’ for 1 minute; but it’s possible.  You may experience some pain.  I’m not going to tell you that “labor” doesn’t hurt; it does, but the agony does subside during delivery.  I’ve now been renewing my physical man for 13 weeks and I still get sore sometimes.

Apostle Arthur Tigney Jr. trains at the gym

Let it be known that I have to ‘wrap’ and ‘brace’ some areas of my body occasionally.  You may need to reinforce an ankle, elbow, knee or wrist; but do what needs to be done in order to get through your workout.  I try to do a half-hour, five days a week.  If you miss a few days because of appointments – then get back into the gym, start walking again or turn on your video ASAP.

My Ankle Surgery in 2010 hasn’t stopped me, nor Back Surgery in 2012, or Knees supposedly to be arthritic, nonetheless, I will not quit!  If you need further encouragement – tune in to “America Ninja Warrior”.  Some of the competitors have overcome some challenging setbacks.

If you worry about flatulence occurring at the gym – don’t fret; that’s one of the reasons why they play music and have the fans running.  Just try not to consume dairy or any products that give you gas before you head out.  If you’re at home – use you abs. to help release the gas gently.  Your body is performing naturally.

Ms. "V" is using Jillian Michaels DVD's

Whatever you do — Don’t Give Up! And pray while you P.U.S.H.  The enemy will try everything to make you quit, including weight gain at the beginning.  Remember, you’re making muscle and that is sometimes heavier than the fat that is falling off.  Don’t forget to “Eat Wisely”, and incorporate cardio along with strength-training.  You have plenty of friends on social networks who are making a conscious effort to live longer & enjoy life.

If you don’t have a personal trainer like my daughter Tonya Poller, than go to Face Book and “Like” Psalm 139 Woman – Fearfully & Wonderfully Made Divas of Fitness or Faith and Fitness or Strive to Be Fit.

Mr. Arthur

Why is it that when some Christians mature, they begin to wear the disease of Arthritis, like a badge of courage?  I do realize that when we begin to mature (I don't like to use the words “getting old”) and don’t use our muscles as much or as often, then our joints will get stiff.  Look at the “Tin Man” in the Wizard of Oz.  A little rain or some of his tears came, and he needed some oil to take the squeaks out and get him moving again.  So too, must we, keep our joints and all our body parts motivated.

Have you considered Moses and Sarah?  Think about it.  Here were two elderly people in their late 90’s and even 100’s.  How do you think they got up in the morning?  When Moses rolled over to get out of the bed do you believe that everything was perfect?  And what about having a baby?  The Immaculate Conception had not happened in their lifetime.  Remember when Adam and Eve sinned?  The curse of sickness and disease was placed upon Moses and all of the people of the Old Testament just as it were placed upon us.  If we get up with a little ache in our back, we think we have some pain to endure and something to complain about.  What we should do is praise God that we were able ‘to get up at all'!

Don't just sit around when you retire and wait for Mr. Arthur to show up.  Don’t use him as an excuse for not working in the church, for not being a witness, for not attending worship service.  Rebuke the devil.  Send him packing in Jesus’ name.  “Submit yourselves therefore to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).  “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground” (Mal. 3:11).  Satan wants to take Gods’ laborers out of action.  Diseases are of the devil, and we shall not succumb to him or his devices.

And right now, in the name of Jesus, I bind up the disease of Juvenile Diabetes in all those persons who have the disease and who read and believe these words.  Be healed and be well in Jesus’ name.  Amen. [V. Poller - Personal prayer for healing. 1999]

Exercise progression is a new way of life

This is week 9 of my fitness program with JillianMichaels.  I’ve gained and lost weight, gotten a little muscle tone, clothes are fitting better and breathing meds are no longer needed.  My legs no longer cramp up during the night and the tingling & numbness in my hands have gone.  It’s a marathon and not a sprint.  It’s also a new way of life.  I do the exercises with wisdom and if I can’t jump, I raise up on my toes.  I forge ahead and don’t give up.  Sure, my muscles ache at times, but not enough to make me quit.  I eat wisely and often, but don’t deprive myself of everything.

My New Exercise Prayer:

Now I lay me on my mat,

I pray the Lord, I get rid of this fat.

If I should ache when I awake,

I pray I have enough Motrin to take ;)

"Listen & Do"

After six years, I finally went on vacation.  “I’ve been to the mountain top & back”.  I forgot how beautiful Arizona and Southern New Mexico could be.  Everywhere you look there are mountains in the background.  At night the sky cascades with millions of lights, so clear to the eye.  My bus ride was a wonderful way to appreciate the beauty that God has given us, and also some time to catch up on needed rest.

I asked the Lord if He would grant me time alone.  Not to have to witness (strike up a conversation) with anyone on the trip to Phoenix.  He was most gracious, but didn’t I see some guy reading, “Divine Revelation of Hell”?  I immediately wanted to inquire about his salvation, but I did ask to be to myself.  Don’t get judgmental.  I prayed that God would send another laborer.  I was tired and I started feeling a little guilty.  I witness at work, at the gym and at church.  Besides I had homework to catch up on and I was on a mini vacation.

Bus terminals are sometimes cold and unfriendly.  There are many different classes of people taking buses from those who hang around airports, yet we’re all God’s children.  His creations.  He desires all to come to repentance and eventually to “come home’.  Put it like this — if you are not saved and filled with the Holy Ghost and a doer of God’s Word — don’t take the bus.  Fear & worry could be your traveling companion.  I saw faces of fear, hopelessness and those who were not mentally all there.

After a sixteen-hour journey I was two hours away from my arrival to a ‘promise land’ and I was starting to feel a bit guilty about not approaching the man reading the book.  He was a prime candidate for God’s wonderful gift of salvation if he wasn’t already saved.  He was already getting fed and all I had to do was cast my line and let the Lord ‘reel him in’.  One more catch for the kingdom that I allowed to get away.  I looked behind me and he was not there.  He must have gotten off at one of our many rest areas.  I looked again, but to avail.  My opportunity was gone.  That jewel for my crown was not to be mine any more…
