Exercise!

Hey guys. I have been exercising every night for a couple days now. And let me tell you... I feel amazing!!

I'm not doing it cause I want to loose weight or because I feel fat. I'm at a healthy weight right now and I'm comfortable with how I look. I'm trying to have physical activity everyday. It's healthy for you, even if you aren't trying to lose weight or tone your arms.

I have noticed that I can think really straight while I ran and afterwards I am so exhausted, that I go to bed early. I wake up feeling really energized and more awake and at school I'm more happy. I feel like I'm doing something, other than school.

While I run of my treadmill I smile because I know that what I'm doing is totally worth it. I feel amazing and I listen to One Direction while I run, how could it get any better?

So every night, after homework and dinner I run on the treadmill. I don't run very fast because I honestly suck at running. But all that matters is that I'm moving! Then I do a couple things before I take a shower.

Run for 30-45 minutes
50 jumping jacks
10 push ups
30 curl ups
25 mountain climbers
jog in place for 60 sec.

Then I take a shower and feel super amazing! I just feel like I'm accomplishing something and taking good care of myself. As I continue working out, I will be able to do more push ups and jumping jacks, ect.. But I just need to take it one step at a time.

Now I'm gonna take a spiritual aspect on this... Ok, why do we work out? We do it because we want to strengthen ourselves and change things that we may not like. Why do we read our scriptures  pray, and go to church? Because we want to strengthen our spirits and change the things we don't like. It's the same thing!

Why do you take good care of your body? Because you want to keep it strong and protected and safe. You want to treat it with respect. So.. don't you think we should not only be exercising  our bodies and minds, but also our spirits for the same reasons?

It's something to think about.... :)

peace out y'all
Smile
