Olympus Gym

One of the stuggles in life is the attempt to be and stay healthy. When one is young and feels indestructable, little effort is made to stay in shape. We live recklessly and eat every unhealthy thing in sight, abuse our bodies and think nothing of it. But as one ages, being healthy becomes more important. The "Baby Boomer" generation is now in their 50's and approaching the Golden years. We understand that quality of life really does depend on being healthy. So, my pass time involves working out at the Olympus Gym. I just reached my six month anniversary of working out on a pretty regular basis. After my prayer and devotion time, I go to gym to work out. The first half hour is aerobic excercise and the last half hour is lifting some weights. I must admit that my flesh would rather sleep than excercise. I have enjoyed some of the results though. By working out and semi watching my diet I have been able to keep off about seven pounds. Lifting weights have helped me to tone up in some areas even though those abs are still hiding behind a soft belly. I admit that they will probably stay hidden unless something supernatural happens. I work out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. I have more energy and feel awake and alive, also since working out I've been able to enjoy a good nights rest. I hope that I can maintain the discipline to continue working out, to continue to feel good and hopefully age with grace. The apostle Paul said that "bodily excercise profits a little", so I'll enjoy the little profit that I obtain from this. I also am taking Pat Robertsons Age defying shake in the morning. This seems to help reduce my appetite and seems to give me additional energy during the day. You can find this shake on the "700 club" web page and search for the "age defying shake". God will be able to use to be a blessing to others as long as our bodies are healthy, so lets stay as healthy as possible so that we can find "Joy in Serving Others."
