Major Jeff Martin sent an email to several colleagues providing a training plan called "Couch Potato to Israel 2012" to help prepare them mentally and physically for an upcoming study tour of Israel. The plan is based on a program for preparing non-runners to run a 5k and includes walking and stairs/hills to get used to the activities they will participate in on the tour. He encourages using audio devices with Scripture readings during training. An attachment includes more details on the Couch Potato to Israel 2012 plan.

Greetings fellow Pilgrims.
One of the things that I hope we will all be motivated to do this year is to prepare to make the
most of our study tour.
To help you do this, I put together something to get you moving. You may not be a couch potato,
and you may have made some goals to help get you ready for the walking that we will all be
doing in Israel.
Attached you will find a simple guide for helping to prepare yourself mentally, and physically for
the tour of a lifetime. I have named it "Couch Potato to Israel 2012" because I based it on a
similar plan that is used to prepare a person to run a 5K even if they have never run before. We
won't be running in Israel, but will be walking, and will do some stairs or small hills possibly.
Use this plan if it is helpful or use your own plan. The important thing is to get moving, and with
some headphones and Scripture on an iPod or other audio device, it can prepare you mentally as
well.
By the way, did you know that your Kindle can read out loud to you? You'll find the feature by
pushing the button next to space bar with "Aa" on it. Add a free Bible from Amazon.com and
you're good to go.
Shalom!
