Taking Care Of Our Body

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;

but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

2 Timothy 1:7

Today, I thought of writing about my views on exercising our bodies. Our body is God's Temple and it is our responsibility to take good care of it. Many a times we just take it for granted and don't think much of it. Well, as a result we find ourselves abusing our beautiful bodies by neglecting it, gluttony, not providing it with the right nutrition that is right for our bodies.

Now just like anyone else I struggled with the inability to take time out to exercise. I found an umpteen number of excuses, well I should say perfectly sounding reasons to do from my todo list. Finally after many an attempt from my own self, I surrendered my desire to exercise, to my Lord in prayer. And just like I hoped He sure came through. Bringing the right type of exercise for my body type (mine is a ruler body type). Do you know what is your body type? It will really help finding out the body type in order to figure out the type of exercise. You can google it and find out.

The type of exercise that I've stuck with now is simple walking using a couple of pounds of weight. Walking is really neat and doesn't hurt the joints and is perfect for any age group.

It's amazing what a little exercise can do to our body and mind. Exercise releases endorphins which makes you feel good. I do it with my hubby and that's an extra bonus ummm...

When you exercise you are able to do more for your loved ones. Remember body is meant for motion not for sitting around. So Happy Exercising!!!!
