Your experience with working out. So when you workout, do you learn new things about yourself in God? If you do, share your experience, or the new things you learned that God has taught you while working out?

When I workout, I feel like I am pushing past my limits and confort zone. It is connected with my life. Sometimes when I workout before going to church, I feel better and alert at church. Its still a learning process for me.

For me, i feel like the Christian journey is alot like working out. It has its plateaus, its struggles, its progress. Its very tough at times and hard to see progress, however sometimes you have those days when you can see His glory in everything you're doing. Somedays in retrospect you see all what He has taught you along the way. Weightlifting reveals things to me about my soul that are God-given and within that I see the characteristics God has placed in me which reveal things about God himself.

Even though this has nothing to do with the topic at hand does anyone know a good ab ,bicep, and chest workouts?

Bodybuilding and cardio make me pause and thank God for the wonderful machine called the human body. Sometimes I grumble because this or that hurts and then I have to remember all of life is a gift and there is no God given right to a totally pain free body. The physical and the spiritual merge when it comes to a disciplined life. I guess the message is to spend as much effort making my soul fit as I do my body. Only then will I be acceptable in His sight.

After where and what I have been through to get where I am now, I am ery grateful for the Lord giving me the abilty and stremgth to be able to do this again. It is very humbling to look back at how I treated my body not that long ago and how the mechanisms we have to make a change for the better. I gues in some repects it's like your walk with the Lord. I have strayed more times than I can even begin to think about thinking about but once I come to my sneses and get back it just feels right and good. Now it is up to me to rely on the thigns that I know to be true.

For me, my exercise routines (not so much diet) serve as a sort of preliminary spiritual barometer.

When I start skipping workouts, leave gym early, etc...I know I am becoming vulnerable to let my guard down in other areas of my life where I am normally disciplined...like bible study and prayer time.

Knowing this, I evaluate my life and make necessary adjustments. I hope to read about the experiences of the rest of you in the future.

peace

I love working out. When I do it, I love to push myself. Lately; I have been slacking off and decided to get really serious about it and reevaluate the reasons I workout. I also decided to add it as a part of my life along with my walk with God. I feel that both my spiritual walk and my workouts are coming together which is good. I want to remain consistant with it.
