I must say that I am excited today for two reasons: one is because I am still on track with working out and two because my perfect sit-up will be arriving today. Yes, I ordered the perfect sit up only because I tried the perfect push-up and it worked. Most of the time when someone hears about me working out, they look at me as if something was wrong. The reason for this is because I weigh about 165 lbs and I have no stomach. Everyone always say to me, "why are you working out?" What they don't know is that you don't have to workout just because you are trying to lose weight. Working out is done to stay in shape and have a healthier body. It prevents you from having health problems in the future. And also it prepares your body for the future when your metabolism slows down. Then there are a lot of other reasons why it helps to just work out even if you are in shape. One, it gives you energy. Two, it keeps your body defined. Three, it keeps you from worrying about how you look. Four, it gives you confidence to know that you are doing something to better yourself.
Never get comfortable with how things are because at any given moment, things can change. You have to keep things fresh and up-to-date. It's amazing how certain things we can include in our routine and others we just throw out the window. Working out is one of those things that we will throw out the window, especially if we look like we are "well put to together." Well, I am slim and don't have an ounce of body fat on me, but I am still working out and will continue to do so because I care about my body and I love the way it makes me feel. And just because it looks good on the outside doesn't mean that it looks the same on the inside.
Don't get comfortable with yourself, keep trying different things and keep trying to improve yourself. Do the same thing when it comes to your relationship, marriage, school work, job, sex, work out, relationship with God. Do it with everything that you do. The one thing that I learned from college is that you can never improve yourself too much.
