Fabulous Fitness
OK, ladies . . . summer is almost upon us, and it’s time to focus on fitness! Let’s face it: Working out has a positive effect on your physical appearance, but that isn’t the greatest benefit you get! In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, we’re told to glorify God with our bodies. While this verse is mainly speaking to the Corinthians about steering clear of immoral behavior, it would also be fitting to take care of our bodies so that we’re healthy and able to serve the Lord! The first mistake many people make when planning a fitness routine is not planning! Below are some suggestions on how to make fitness a part of your life.
1. Not a runner?
If you don’t like to run, don’t! There’s no need to participate in exercises you don’t actually enjoy. There are so many ways to get in shape! So find something you really like, and jump into it.
If you’re an outdoorsy girl, try bicycling or skating. Or get a group together to take a scenic hike. If you prefer to work out in the comfort of your own home, get some kickboxing videos and some hand weights. There are lots of cool options available; just take the time to figure out what you enjoy the most!
2. Make exercising part of your normal routine.
You may have the best intentions of fitting in fitness three times a week, but if you don’t actually get it on your calendar, you’ll soon find it’s the first thing to get brushed aside when your schedule gets crazy. Remember, this is your appointment with YOU to feel better and stay healthy! You wouldn’t brush aside an important meeting with your teacher or a special pep rally at school, so be sure not to miss your appointment with you.
3. Join a sports team or class.
