This week I decided to do something that I never thought that I could do. I became a Beachbody coach. I know, I was super hesitant. I didn't want to be one of those people...you know, the pushers. I've had bad experiences with different products people mention at the gym. And I'm not really a super duper pusher of products. I commit to living simply and following how God is leading in my life. I know that the idea and theme of health continues to pop up in everything...conversations, dreams, books and thoughts.
The things I know are true...that health is important for all of us. Access to tools for health makes me want to work really hard. Health is an issue of justice...there are so many cycles of poverty and health that are soooo connected. I've always said that I want to work on serving communities in finding whole health in the midst of bad cycles and patterns that are learned culturally.
So, I'm a coach. What does that mean? It means that I am more than willing to help, or continue to help those who I'm currently helping, people find their way to their health. I will not prescribe any specific ways of eating or ways of working out. I want to encourage people to listen to what their bodies are telling them....and then offer help when asked. If you need a little bit of extra encouragement, some accountability...I would love to help. Beachbody does have some good products if you're interested...you know 'em P90x, Turbojam and more. These are good products that I think can help people who need that type of instruction...who want to work out in the comfort of their home and not a gym. But again, i'm not pushing. Send me an email to jara.sturdivant@gmail.com or visit my site and we can talk.
I haven't done my journey to health alone and I don't think anyone else should either. It's more fun when we do it together.
