1. Why use an ebook format?
The ebook format saves the reader time and money and makes use of many unique features that a traditional book cannot offer. First, an ebook can be instantly downloaded onto your hard drive - no waiting for a book to arrive in the mail. Secondly, an ebook is less expensive because no paper or ink is used (unless you choose to print out all or part of the ebook), and the fees for a publisher and all the associated “middle men” are eliminated. Finally, you can zoom in on photos or graphics, enlarge or shrink the size of the page and the text, instantly search for key words or terms, and use embedded links to external sites for clarification or further research.
2. What is The Rosary Workout™?
The Rosary Workout is a goal-centered, cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise program focused on praying the Rosary during a series of planned workouts. There are nine levels of progression. Each level is named after one of the Nine Choirs of Angels, part of Catholic tradition. The first three levels are designed for beginners, the middle three for intermediates and the last three for advanced exercisers or competitive athletes. Each level consists of specific workouts for four weeks and presents a different set of goals for both physical and spiritual growth. The ebook includes a comprehensive study of the Rosary and provides an overview of the scientific principles used in the development of the workouts. Learn more about The Rosary Workout™ on the Products page.
3. Is this just about praying the Rosary while I exercise?
No. This program is unique. The Rosary Workout incorporates the fundamental principles of exercise physiology. It applies the science of interval training and periodization to provide over 100 varied and challenging workouts carefully designed to improve fitness and prevent injury. At the same time, the program focuses on exercising the “muscles of the spirit” through Rosary prayer and meditation.
4. How much time does the workout involve?
The initial time commitment is just 10-20 minutes twice a week. Although the program gradually increases the time commitment, you will continue to see results by exercising just 2-3 times per week. Intermediate and advanced exercisers who enjoy working out more often will find plenty of workouts to continue to challenge their fitness levels.
5. Do I have to join a gym?
No. The Rosary Workout can be done outside (walking, cycling, hiking, etc.) or at home. The ebook includes suggestions to find a mode of exercise that is both enjoyable and beneficial. However, if you already belong to a gym or want to join one, there are additional suggestions to incorporate The Rosary Workout™ into your gym routine.
6. I haven’t exercised in years. Will the workouts be too hard for me?
Definitely not. The first level of The Rosary Workout™ is designed just for beginners - those who haven’t exercised regularly in the last six months, anyone recovering from an injury, pregnant or post-partum women, children under 16, adults over 65, or anyone under the care of a physician.
7. I’m a competitive athlete. Will the workouts be too easy?
Not at all. The Intermediate and Advanced levels of The Rosary Workout™ provide ideal training plans for athletes. The workouts incorporate interval training and periodization, both familiar terms for most athletes. Additionally, athletes find that Rosary meditation during workouts helps sharpen their mental focus.
8. Is The Rosary Workout™ compatible with team sports?
Sure-- if your team prays the Rosary together during practice. However, most team sports require too much focus and interaction to facilitate meditative prayer. The best type of exercise for The Rosary Workout™ is a repetitive form of exercise such as walking, cycling, running, swimming, etc. Of course, if you enjoy team sports, you can incorporate The Rosary Workout™ into skill drills or cross-training activities.
9. Is The Rosary Workout™ just for Catholics?
Although The Rosary Workout™ is written from a Catholic perspective, the Rosary does predate the Reformation. Many non-Catholics are drawn to the Rosary by its meditative form of prayer and its Biblical origin. Anyone who incorporates the natural rhythm of the Rosary with the natural rhythm of cardiovascular exercise will likely be inspired by the experience.
10. What if I don’t know how to pray the Rosary?
No problem! The Rosary Workout™ includes information on obtaining a Rosary and a tutorial on how to pray the Rosary. The text of all Rosary prayers and the Rosary mysteries are also included. Links to external websites embedded in the ebook provide information for further study.
