In an article from Inheritance Magazine, "Does God Require us to be healthy?", David Pat states:
"People have often asked me what health and fitness have to do with following Jesus and I tell them that Christians should be the ones who are most concerned with how they treat their bodies. ... our bodies are given to us so that we can work for the glory of God. Our lifestyles are a reflection of our hearts; do we choose to live for pleasure and leisure or are we committed to being healthy and disciplined so that we may better serve the Lord?" Balance in life takes healthy living: spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally. This challenge is focused on increasing the physical wellness, in a sedentary office workspace. 9 KAC staff members have taken up this 90 day challenge and one will come out the Fitness Winner! Each participant will choose their own methods of workout, diet, and supplements to reaching their goals. The one who has achieved the most difference in their body fat by the end of 90-days will get their face on a t-shirt that all the non-winners will wear at the TOM Film Fest 2010 in June. Read up on them @ KAC Fitness Challenge Blog Updates. Watch them @ KAC Fitness Challenge Vlog Updates. *We prohibit and don't encourage extreme weight loss activities.
