Training Body & Soul

WAKE: Turn, drop, and shuffle! (Full Body Video!)

September 11, 2014

Well heyyyyyyy!!! I’m about 4 months later than I wanted to be on posting this video. Ooops!  There are times when I just chuck a routine if it’s taken too long to tape, but not this one! I love it! Many of you love the routine I created to “Alive” and you’ll be happy to know that this is another song by the folks who wrote that one, “Hillsong Young & Free”!


WAKE: Turn, drop, and shuffle! (Full Body Video!)  : peak313.com

Now, I wish I could actually cue you as I want during the video, but for the sake of you hearing the video, and you not getting annoyed with my same verbals cues, I don’t. But I try to denote things on the video so be sure you see those.

I also am thankful that ya’ll don’t care how low-budget I am because clearly, we are no professionals here. 🙂 I posted this on instagram after we got done shooting. Thank goodness for Hannah who hangs with me through all this craziness!

And insider scoop–you see that thing in my hand? Thats a jam wireless speaker and we blast the song through that while Hannah holds my iPhone and tapes. I know–the amount of skill and technology here is jaw-dropping. 🙂 (Wearing my Love > Fear bracelet from Revelation Wellness!)

♥♥♥

“Alive” is definitely a good heart-pumper and I use it to warm-up, or just to work some cardio in throughout my weight lifting. “Wake” (gotta love the one word titles) is definitely more intense as we are turning and up and down on the ground. I wear a heart rate monitor and my heart rate gets up there pretty high in the anaerobic zone each time I do it. So why am I telling you this? You may not want to do it as a warm-up (although some of you workout beasts out there may choose to do so!) but instead, pop it in mid-routine. I have this song on my shuffle so when it comes on in a workout, I just drop the weights or whatever I’m doing and do it. Yeah–you might get some looks, but whatever. If you aren’t getting a few here and there in you workouts then you aren’t working hard enough! (PREACH!)

Here are my cues I want you to keep in mind!

1) I put modifications as notes on the video so be sure to read them. Of course, you may need to modify more, but those should get you started

2) We are basically taking the same few moves and repeating them through 3 times. I want you to increase the energy and intensity as you progress through each round!

3) Group Fitness Instructors: You may notice this since your eye is tuned to this kind of thing, but I kept the lead on the same foot the whole time. Feel free to switch up the lead however you want to if you want to change it a bit!

4) Sing the song! Yes–when we are scooping the arms around and out the lyrics are:

“You wake within me, wake within me.
You’re in my heart forever.”

I loved adding the arms to this because I felt like we were literally “scooping” this idea into our hearts! Yes, Lord, you wake within me!

Alright! It’s time to get your “WAKE” on!! (Click here if you can’t view the video!)

looking for something?

There are things that once served us for a season There are things that once served us for a season that no longer do yet we are holding onto them. There are some things we’ve stopped fighting for that still need our energy because we are tired and have forgotten what’s on the line.

My encouragement to you to tonight is to put to prayer the “thing” that came to mind and wrestle down what God is asking of you.  Sure- we CAN keep living like we are, but we want to be WISE women (& men)...”pure,  peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.” (James 3:17) Father: give us discernment to know when to hold on and when to let go! 🤍
“I don’t know” is the response I get to aski “I don’t know” is the response I get to asking what the next step is when someone comes to me with a relationship, health, faith, career or leadership question. Now to be fair, true...sometimes people are truly asking for help discerning that next right thing but many times I find they are really asking for me for confirmation.

Some of you are sitting stagnant because you keep telling yourself that you don’t know. I think you do know, you are just afraid of the implications and uncertainty of that decision. To be expected. Moving from comfort never comes without risk. 

I’m just here to tell some of you that it’s time. You’ve got enough info and have prayed about it long enough to move forward. When you know, you know. 👊🏻
There is great power in letting go and trusting Go There is great power in letting go and trusting God. This doesn’t come easy, so if you can’t say this yet about the situation at hand, keep bringing it to Him in prayer! 🤍

“Those who know your name trust in you because you have not abandoned those who seek you, Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭9:10‬
“Why are you looking for the living among the de “Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” asked the men. “He is not here, but he has risen!” Luke‬ ‭24:5-6‬

What a day to rejoice! My Savior and reason for everything is alive! Happy Easter, friends! 🤍🤍🤍
Just because you didn’t choose it doesn’t mean Just because you didn’t choose it doesn’t mean that God won’t use it. The imperfect world weaves its way in and out of our stories. Feel the feels, then look it straight in the face and believe for something more. #presson #redemption
“Soft and fiery, beautifully fierce..” I’ve “Soft and fiery, beautifully fierce..”

I’ve always had a fire in me. I can’t explain it except that I knew I was always “more” than the season, place & age I was in. Not in a prideful way, but in a “I want to change the world” sort of way. For most of my life I’ve tried to push that down as strong, “facts-based”, articulate, independent women were not applauded in the faith, cultural and “general” worlds I lived. But pulling back and softening my “edge” only lead me to a dull, apathetic, and boring life. 

God, in His grace, has taken me on a journey over the last few years to free me to who He created me to be...which included keeping my edge and fierceness. Along with that this, He’s grown my capacity to carry a soft and tender side deep down just as equally. It’s taken work. Getting gritty. Facing hard things. Grief. Tears. But all that has made me into the woman I know God has been building all these years. 

I never felt like everyone else like but not because I wanted to be like everyone..but just because I never knew anyone like me who modeled what I felt God planted deep in me at an early age. One of my passions now is to be that woman for other young women who feel the same burn as me, and to help them take that fire, balance it with tenderness, truth and love & rock the worlds in which they live.

The photographer of this pic referenced me as a “leader of leaders” and while I knew I was born a leader, I never considered that maybe this great intensity and strength inside was meant for something even more. What a gift and I hold that so humbly. Grateful for all of you who have made me into the woman I am today on my 41st birthday. Let’s do this thing. 🔥 #firestarter #flamethrower

I had the privilege of baptizing my sweet friend G I had the privilege of baptizing my sweet friend Gracie Sunday at church. One of my greatest joys is walking with people through their life, teaching, encouraging & loving on them as they learn to make their faith their own. (Aka: discipleship)

There is nothing- and I mean nothing- like someone sitting across from you hungry to eat whatever you dish them. A sponge for truth and a pure heart to just listen... that was Gracie.

Every wed night during the community group hubs and I lead, we would pick a topic, or review the sermon or the group would ask a question, or I would go on one of my “holy spiritual Clare tangents” 😂 and right then & there with the teaching & encouragement from other mature believers in our group, is where part of her growth in Christ came. (We often would split up guys/girls during this time)

Wed. Nights were just part of Gracie’s growth. Slide through the pics and you will see the larger perspective of a group of women surrounding Gracie and me. These are her “tribe”.. women who texted every day about what they were reading in the word. Prayer requests. Life updates. They became Gracie’s daily lifeline while I came in as a weekly jolt. 😉

You know who benefited from this? All of us. In different ways, we all grew and were encouraged. You know what else grew? Our church because we were unified from within. 

Not only do we learn from one another in community, but we learn ourselves best too. Scary? Heck yeah! But so vital. We need one another..to cry with. Ask Questions (Run dating app profiles past 😂) but.. to celebrate together too!  There is nothing like it. Dive in! Let’s gooo!! #lovegodloveothers
Be it our silence or reading between the lines, we Be it our silence or reading between the lines, we all need someone who is able to see more than what we outwardly portray. I’m thankful for friends who are willing to work with me through what I’m not saying and many times don’t REALIZE I’m not saying.

Tag ya girl who does this for you and hey while you’re at it, check in on that friend that you are sensing needs you to speak some love, truth and encouragement! 🤍 Your gut is probably right!
