The Body & Soul Ministries is a growing movement of spiritually grounded workout classes, often based in church facilities. The president of the ministries, Jeanne Blocher, has developed an hour-long workout video for home use that is polished, balanced, and very motivating. The class itself is a challenging blend familiar to those who've tried Jazzercize or other aerobics classes that combine strength training and floor work. Blocher leads the class through 6 minutes of warm-up, 22 minutes of high-intensity aerobics (with low-impact versions always available), 25 minutes of strength training, and a thorough stretching sequence. What makes this class unique is its use of high-energy Christian music, especially motivating during the aerobics portion. It's hard not to put a little extra oomph in your can-can kicks when the peppy music accompanying them is Mike Hurst's "Spiritual Health Kick." The video is accompanied by a booklet offering suggested scripture study, as well as the all-important posture and stance tips that will help give you maximum results safely; be sure to read it before trying the tape for the first time.
