Little Golden Books recommends that we “get some exercise every
day.” Maslow's Self Actualization includes achieving aesthetic needs or the appreciation and search for beauty and balance
which is part of reaching ones full potential.
I always exercised but never had a personal routine. My
friend decided that for this challenge, I should have my own exercise routine, professing that 8(eight) little exercises will give a full body work out in 20 minutes and that if I do them 3 times a
week for a month, I will be on my way to looking like Carman Electra. He said, do this “workout like it’s your books
for a class, ” another words- take it seriously.
Reflection
His excitement about exercises was contagious. I think that
the best part of having a personal
trainer is that they are so enthusiastic about exercise. I did not want to let
him down and my desire to not disappoint, kept me moving even when my legs felt
like noodles. The next day, I
could hardly lift my legs and had to take Motrin. Even in pain I heard that
trainer voice, “workout like it’s your books” so I kept at it and I will continue. Plus I've been eating the Day 10 Yuengling ice cream non stop so I better stay with this routine. Who knows, I might just be on my way to my own “empty nester exercise video!”
Spiritial Reflection
All athletes practice strict self-control. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for external prize. (1Corinthians 9:25) I discipline my body like an athlete, training to do what it should..
(vs.27)
Takes discipline to live the life we are called to live. I try to train with a daily devotion.
Don't you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and the Spirit of God lives in you.
(1 Corinthians 3:16)
Take care of our health and body so we can do the work of God.
