From body-positive Instagram influencer and content creator Meg Boggs, an inclusive and empowering fitness and lifestyle guide to inspire readers of every shape and size. For years, Meg Boggs believed the narrative told to her by society: she thought that as a plus-sized woman, she could never be fit; she could never be strong; she could never love exercise; she could never be enough. But when Meg became a mom, she decided to rethink her preconceived notions and embrace her body for what it is, not what diet culture said it should be. In Fitness for Every Body, Meg shares her personal story and inspires you to celebrate your own body for all its capabilities. Featuring a dozen step-by-step, full-body workouts, this book is more than a workout guide or a training manual. It’s a reminder that you’re more than just your weight, that you are stronger than you believe, and that just because you might not be thin, doesn’t mean that you can’t be an athlete. Your body is capable of doing incredible things—you just have to let it. Equally uplifting and enlightening, this body-positive fitness guide will inspire you to love your body no matter your size and to approach food and exercise in a way that benefits both mental and physical health and wellbeing.

Few pastors or Christian writers have dared to approach the subject of how proper eating and an active lifestyle can affect how we serve God. Author Gary Thomas does just that. And he reaches all the way back to the apostle Paul, who wrote that we need to prime our bodies to become, "an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work." To illustrate the body/soul correlation, Thomas presents engaging and diverse stories that include a young mom who got fit through volleyball and reaped spiritual rewards in her marriage, a 300-pound pastor who realized his obesity was eroding his ministry impact, and a woman who gained the spiritual strength to survive a contentious divorce by training for a marathon. In every instance, Thomas makes a direct connection between the physical challenge and its spiritual consequence.This book is a must read for anyone seeking new and compelling motivation for strengthening their bodies and fortifying their souls.

Many people struggle with the initial hurdle of starting an exercise routine. This tip focuses on building sustainable habits that become automatic over time. Identify Your Triggers: What situations or times of day make you more likely to exercise? Maybe it's after work, before breakfast, or with a workout buddy. Schedule your workouts around these triggers to increase the chances of sticking to them. Stack Habits: Pair exercise with an existing habit you already do consistently. For example, listen to your favorite podcast only while walking or jogging, or do some bodyweight exercises while waiting for your coffee to brew. Reward Yourself Strategically: Celebrate your achievements, but with non-food rewards. Treat yourself to a massage after a successful week, watch an episode of your favorite show after a tough workout, or buy some new workout clothes to stay motivated. Prioritize Sleep: The Unsung Hero of Fitness Sleep deprivation disrupts hormones that regulate hunger and metabolism, making it harder to lose weight and build muscle. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. Create a Sleep Sanctuary: Ensure your bedroom is dark, cool, and quiet. Invest in blackout curtains, a comfortable mattress, and eliminate electronic distractions before bed. Develop a Relaxing Wind-Down Routine: Take a warm bath, read a book, or practice light yoga or meditation before bed to calm your mind and prepare for sleep. Optimize Your Diet for Sleep: Avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and alcohol close to bedtime. Opt for sleep-promoting foods like cherries, almonds, and chamomile tea.
