Shaped by FAITH Prayer Pose [Video]

It was great having my guest Jordan Kreisle on my show again. We both served on the Leadership Team for the Ohio Valley Will Graham Celebration in 2015. Jordan is the Kids Ministry Director at River City Church and his is passionate about sharing his Faith with everyone.

The exercise Jordan demonstrated is an exercise that anyone can do, welll, at least the first two he did! Since Jordan's work revolves around children, I wanted to give him an exercise that he can also do with the kids.

I had Jordan press both of his hands together in prayer pose in front of his heart. Next I had him balance on one leg. The combination of the prayer pose and a one-leg balance brings calmness to the mind, body & soul. This isometric exercise is a great to improve stability and balance in the body. It's also a great strengthener for the lower body. Hold this for about 5-8 seconds on one leg and then swithch. Repeat on other leg and do this as many times as you would like. I also love taking this one outdoors eary in the morning and grounding myself on the grass, barefoot. There is something about being outdoors and looking Up at God's Beauty all around us.

Jordan progressed this exercise by going into a deep squat (you can also modify your squat) and moving the prayer pose with the squat. I had him focus on his breathing, deep inhale and exhale as he continued mobing his squat.

Next, Jordan did an advanced burpee exercise, that may not be for everyone, but, it is AMAZING to do for the total body! Kids will LOVE the burpee! It is the combination of a push up, squat & Jump Up! Try it, you may just Love it yourself!
