Pray Your Way Through the Gym in 2015

Joining the gym has become "the thing" to fix your health. In 2005, there were 40.8 million Americans that belonged to the gym. Today, there is over 55 million Americans with gym memberships. And January just happens to be join-the-gym month. Not surprisingly, more people join the gym in January than any other month of the year. The sad truth is, within 90 days, between 20-30% of people have stopped going to the gym on a regular basis, and by April, the numbers drop off even more.

So, for this month, the weekly prayers will focus on exercise; the motivation to get it done and the perseverance to stick with it all year long. (To learn more about the weekly prayers, read 52 weeks, 52 prayers).

I will also be posting more blogs this month on the importance of exercise, but for now, let me leave you with this:

You may not enjoy exercising, but will you enjoy heart disease, diabetes, and cancer? These three diseases are DRASTICALLY reduced by REGULAR exercise. When you choose a sedentary life over regular exercise, you are choosing one of these diseases, and when you get that diagnosis, you will have wished you had stuck it out at the gym!
