Thu, 29 Sep 2011 17:00:00 GMT

Instructor Elaine Crane

Monday-Wednesday-Thursday 9:00 - 10:00 a.m.
The Refinery, $5.00 per week

The women's Fitness Well Being classes are held every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday from 9 - 10am in The Refinery Gym.�Expect a combination of cardiovascular exercise, weight training and�resistance bands�for an overall�body workout.�Classes are taught by Elaine Crane, a certified ISSA�fitness trainer.�Bring your own workout towel and water bottle. Call (949) 609-8711 for more information.

About Elaine Crane

Elaine is an ISSA certified fitness trainer and have followed a personal�fitness regime most of my adult life.�She has taught various forms of fitness classes for more than 20 years, as well as completed in several fitness and body building competitions in the UK.

About The Class

The Women's Fitness Well-Being Classes are a combination of cardio training, resistance bands and dumb bell weights and upbeat music.�The classes run for an hour and are never the same class.�We�combine calisthenics,�plyometrics, weight resistance/bands and core exercises in our classes.

For instance, in a recent class,�we warmed up incorporating various moves such as half jacks, hamstring kick backs, jogging on the spot, jump squats, and then stretched. Then we did drills, which included walking lunges, sprinting (20 second intervals), crocodile walks (walking on all fours with our body parallel and close to the group), lateral drills, and so on.� We ended the class by working shoulders, biceps and chest using a number of different dumb bell exercises, and then spent 10 minutes on abs and cool down.

We end with prayer. There are no mirrors and no men in this class. We have fun and the hour passes quickly.� Everyone usually leaves very sweaty but de-stressed!

Who Should Attend

The women that attend are anywhere from early 20's to over 60.� We even have a lady that is 72!� You go at your own pace.��A number�of the women work at my level (advanced), some drop it back and some just keep moving as best they can.� Everyone is instructed on how to do the exercise (to ensure proper form and technique) and then given modification suggestions so if they cant do the exercises there is a safe and easier alternative.

Do You Feel Overweight Physically and Underweight Spiritually?

Sun, 25 Sep 2011 17:00:00 GMT

NEW Women's Connection Group: MADE TO CRAVE
with Dee Eastman
7-Week study beginning Thursday, Oct. 6, 7pm, Room 403

Learn how to satisfy your deepest desire with God, not food!

Dee Eastman, Director of The Daniel Plan, will lead a seven-week discussion from the book by Lysa Terkeurst "Made to Crave: Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God, Not Food" beginning Thursday, Oct. 6, 7pm in Room 403.

Discover the missing link between our desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen. According to the author, craving isn't a bad thing, but she focuses on how God created us uniquely so that we would ultimately desire more of Him in our lives.� And with the stress that life so often brings, the craving that God intended for Him can easily be misplaced for overindulging in other physical pleasures.

Breaking the cycle of "I'll start again on Monday," and feel good about yourself today.
Stop agonizing over numbers on the scale and make peace with your body.
Replace rationalizations that lead to failure with wisdom that leads to victory.
How to reach your healthy goals and grow closer to God in the process

"We will be focusing on our spiritual growth at the center of this study - and I would love to have you join me!" -- Dee Eastman

Success with long-term growth and change always happens when we are connected in a close community - so it would be an honor to have you attend.
If you'd like to play a role in helping to lead some of the small group discussions -� please email me about that as well at Deee@saddleback.com.

If you'd like to join a men's group or an online group - we'd love to get you connected too! Please email Tina at tinap@saddleback.com to get involved or if you have any questions.

Dee Eastman

David Nguyen: Finds Results with Prayer, Persistence

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 17:00:00 GMT

David Nguyen, Owner of RC Racing Zone, shares how prayer, persistence and determination helped him avoid diabetes and lose more than 40 pounds!

Describe a few primary health challenges or bad habits you had before starting The Daniel Plan?
I would eat whatever I liked. I did not exercise and I felt tired all day long.

Why did you decide to start The Daniel Plan, how did you hear about it?�
My doctor told me if I do not start to exercise, I will be Diabetic.� At the time, I was 223 pounds. I also have sleep apnea due to being overweight.

What new healthy habits have you learned, or anything else that you have learned from The Daniel Plan?�
Now I control my eating. Eat more healthy food. Spend more time with God. I talk to God during my walk.� I talk to him about all the issues my family are facing, our concerns about our family, relatives, and our parents.� I pray to him to give me strength for my exercise, and help me to meet my goal on this new journey.

What have been a few of the results you've experienced?
I have lost 42 pounds. I went from size 38 to 34; My shirt size from XL to L. I do not have sleep apnea and never feel tired or sleepy.

What advice would you give someone getting started or considering The Daniel Plan?

a. Pray
b. Be determined.
c. Be persistent.
d. Set a goal (I suggest setting a big goal.�How much do you really want to lose?)�
Once you have this, Pray to HIM, and tell him why you want to do this.� Ask HIM to help you to have the determination to make it, and to be persistent.� Ask HIM for guidance. If you serious about it, God will be serious with you.

Note: I walk 8 miles per day (4 miles in the morning before I go to work, and 4 miles after work.� Both session = 2hrs.)
