It's not easy fitting in time at the gym, at home or in a hotel room to get in a good workout, even when you love it! I've learned that I have to make it a priority, or life just happens and next thing I know it's time for bed again. There will be plenty of obstacles in the way each day, including the ones in our minds that want to make us think it's selfish to take care of our bodies.
I workout so I can...
...swing my granddaughter in circles until we're both dizzy
...catch my 80 year old Dad when he's falling
...lie on the floor and do chest presses with my grandson because it makes him smile
...keep up with my bodybuilding husband (who is 16 years older!)
...take care of the one body God entrusted to me
...learn all I can about fitness in order to be of help to others
...keep functioning through the second half of my life (Deo Volente)
...wear my bathing suit on family vacations
...walk all over Rome again one day
...sprint in case of emergency!
If you workout, what are some of the reasons you do? If you don't, why not? I would love to hear about what motivates you.
