Strength For Our Days
This always seems to be the time of the year that I
start to realize a bit of weakness in my
strength.
After long months in the house, and not much outside activities .
Or many outdoor chores. and garden work to tend too.
I can feel the effects of lack of exercise.
After church on Sunday, my hubby and myself
took a tour of our local health club in town.
After a wonderful tour of all the amazing
equipment and tools available to us.
We were so excited and inspired!
After praying about it we went back on Monday
and committed ourselves for
1 year.
After one exercise session, I realized
I have very poor core muscle tone.
Much to my surprise!!!
NOT REALLY
OK the only place to go is UP.
Feeling a lot of intimidation,
way out of my comfort zone.
I am not usually around body builders and
woman who belong to a gym.
So this is really new and different!
My hubby as he prayed said this is the
year we start taking better care of ourselves
physically.
I now have a gym bag!
Work out clothing (modest)
My bag is so heavy I can barely carry it!
Now is that telling ya something right there!!
After swimming my hair was a mess, I need to
find something for trying to keep it dry.
Swimming caps do not look fashionable.
I know that I will stand out.
In a good way...
Cause, I am always looking for divine appointments.
It's really all about the core!
Keep yourself strong in the Lord.
Keep your body strong so you can finish your race.

6 Kind Thoughts:
I have to admit gyms do not appeal to me due to all the people with barely-there clothes, or is that just a stereotype that I am assuming? I hope you have fun getting fit! For now my exercise has to be running after 7 little ones.
Roxy,
I salute you for making the commitment to exercise. I walk a lot and just saw something today saying that walking or exercising just 30 minutes a day decreases heart disease by 80%. Also cuts the rate of other nasty diseases by a lot. I'm sure you know that. Our bodies are temples from God...gifts from our creator. We need to take care of them...so you go girl!! Stay healthy.
This is so inspiring Rox...(I almost typed expiring.. haha, I think that is probably what would happen once I began the same program). But seriously, I think it is wonderful to have a membership to a health club. I think it helps you form a habit and momentum, and it is also nice to have a little help with working out. One of these days, we might do the same thing. Love that you and Danny joined together. And the wet hair thing is something I have never figured out... I don't like myself in a in a bathing cap...I just always end up with wet hair. Oh well. What a great post.
Love ya,
Pam
Wow, we'll done for joining up. I went as far as having a tour once. I wasn't so much interested in the machines but in going for a swim in a quiet pool! I didn't sign up though, even though it was lovely, as I realised that (a) I don't have the time to go and (b) I think running around brining up 4 boys is probably enough to keep me busy just now!
Enjoy your new regime :0)
Good luck!
I've started exercising (again)just recently. At home. In privacy. Just me!lol Not brave enough to go to a gym!lol GO Roxy! I'll cheer you on, you brave lady!
