The Fitness Game

[Joshua Kozak @CoachKozak]

Vanity twists stewardship into worship.

Your body is a gift.

But it was never meant to become your god.

1 Timothy 4:8 says, “for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.”

That means physical training has value.

Exercise is not wrong.
Strength is not wrong.
Caring for your health is not wrong.

Vanity takes a good gift from God and turns it into a mirror where self becomes the center.

And that is where fitness becomes dangerous.

When your body becomes your identity.

When appearance becomes your confidence.

When discipline becomes self-glory.

When health becomes obsession.

When you care more about how you look before people than who you are before God.

The body matters.

But it is temporary.

Godliness matters more because it holds promise not only for this life, but for the life to come.

So train your body.

But do not worship it.

Care for your health.

But do not become vain.

Build discipline.

But do not boast in the flesh.

Use your strength to serve Christ, love your family, work faithfully, endure hardship, and honor the Lord with the body He gave you.

Your body is a gift.

Don’t make it your god.

And don’t let the mirror disciple your soul.

[Joshua Kozak @CoachKozak]

Demons are not atheists.

And that should unsettle every person who thinks

Christianity is merely agreeing with the right facts.

In Mark 1, an unclean spirit sees Jesus and cries out, “I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

Did you catch that?

He knew.

He knew Jesus was holy.
He knew Jesus had authority.
He knew Jesus had power.
He knew Jesus was the Son of God.

But he did not love Him.
He did not worship Him.
He did not surrender to Him.

That is what makes James 2:19 so piercing:

“You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.”

There is a kind of belief that can tremble before the truth and still remain in rebellion.

That is terrifying.

You can believe Jesus exists and still refuse His rule.

You can believe the Bible is true and still live as though your desires have final authority.

You can call Jesus “Lord” with your mouth while resisting Him with your life.

No, obedience does not save you.

But saving faith is never alone.

True faith does not merely recognize Christ. It receives Him. It trusts Him. It follows Him. It bows before Him.

Not perfectly. No Christian obeys perfectly in this life.

But truly.

So the question is not merely, “Do I believe facts about Jesus?”

The demons do.

The question is: have I bowed?

Have I turned from my sin?
Have I surrendered my life?
Have I come to Christ not only for forgiveness, but under His lordship?

Satan knows exactly who Jesus is.

He just refuses to bow.

May that never be said of us.

[Joshua Kozak @CoachKozak]

Biblical masculinity is not built on ego.
It is built on faithful obedience.

When Paul says, “Act like men” in 1 Cor 16:13, he is not calling men to arrogance, harshness, or self-reliance.

He is calling them to mature, courageous faithfulness under the lordship of Christ.

No one is asking for @get_Loodo

Typical startup advice is “listen to your customers,”

but what if your customers don’t know what they want or need?

Customers are much better at articulating their problems,

than they are at suggesting solutions.

[Loodo @get_Loodo]

@CoachKozak Very well explained! 🙌

[Loodo @get_Loodo]

Loodo, exercise you actually enjoy! 🦾

[Joshua Kozak @CoachKozak]

“Just do it,” ”Be stronger than your excuses,” “Push yourself”

20 years later, I’m done trying to motivate others to exercise.

I've come to realize enjoyment is the magic pill.

One step closer to launching the demo of our new fitness game @get_Loodo

Here's a sneak peek of the environment created by @haquei_x

What makes Loodo different from other fitness experiences

[Joshua Kozak @CoachKozak]

We’re in the early stages of making fitness fun

And there’s a distinction to be made between:

Fitness Gamification

vs.

Fitness-Driven Game

[Loodo @get_Loodo]

@CoachKozak The potential of VR/AR fitness in limitless!

[Joshua Kozak @CoachKozak]

I launched my first fitness app in 2010 and it was terrible

It was closer to a mobile website than the fitness apps we love today

I believe this is the current phase of VR and AR fitness apps

[Joshua Kozak @CoachKozak]

What if we could harness the addictive nature of video games

to get the younger generation exercising?

@get_Loodo aims to do just that

with a video game using your body as the controller

[Joshua Kozak @CoachKozak]

Problems most fitness products are trying to solve:

- User education
- Quantified-self
- Influencer programming

The 3 most common problems people report:

- Exercise is boring
- No motivation
- No consistency

This is why I’m building @get_Loodo

[Joshua Kozak @CoachKozak]

I’m building something new and I want to share it with you first

20 years’ in the fitness industry and people are even more sedentary than when I started

Exercise is a chore that only 20% of the population does with any regularity. 1/

[Loodo @get_Loodo]

P.S.

It’s early and I’d love to hear your:

- thoughts
- ideas
- feedback
- opportunities to collaborate

So leave a reply or drop me a DM.

P.S.P.S.

Please help me by giving this post some engagement. (retweet, like, comment)

It’d really help more people see it.

[Loodo @get_Loodo]

Creating an experience people would do

even if it didn’t come with health benefits.

I call it Loodo. (@get_Loodo)

What if instead of striving to increase motivation,

we made it fun?

Taking the same gaming techniques that make modern games so addictive,

but applying them to exercise. 3/

[Loodo @get_Loodo]

It requires high levels of self-discipline and motivation.

And while health-tech continues to advance,

it’s done nothing to help the global physical activity crisis.

So it got me thinking,

what if we’re approaching this all wrong? 2/
