Why Exercise?

Last night I came across some notes I had taken over a year ago from a show I watched on tv where Beth Moore was speaking about exercise/weight loss/eating healthy/etc. I found the info to be a great reminder... especially since yesterday on a fitness FB page I was boo-hooing about how I can't seem to lose weight despite eating right, staying under calories, and exercising a minimum of 6 days a week.

1. Our Motivation: 1 Corinthians 6:19a- Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit...
2. Our Objective: Freedom, NOT size or weight.
3. Our Method: All physical exercise is to be done with a worship mentality.

Praise God during the exercise and then finish it up with prayer.

Romans 12:1- Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship.
