1st Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
[1] Be consistent. One of the issues we face in adopting any exercise regimen is that of consistency. We start and stop too often, so that the benefits of exercise are not given the needed time in order to materialize. Therefore, rather than start something that you cannot finish, it will be best to think and pray about it carefully. Then after careful planning, you can come up with a strategy that works best for you.
However, the most important part will be doing it regularly without fail. Every little bit of movement counts, and combining strength training and aerobic activity produces the best results. If you decide that twenty, or thirty minutes every day is all you could practically spare, then do it faithfully, because if you incorporate it as a lifestyle change, your body would respond in the positive in most cases. Persons who succeed in their endeavors are always those who do what they do consistently, and if you were to do your exercise regimen long enough, and consistent enough, you will succeed in your goals.
[2] Never wait for the beginning of the new year. Individuals who wait until the new year to start their exercise will most likely fail in their efforts, for if you keep putting off for another day, that which should be done today, procrastination would in most cases take a heavy toll on you. It is stated that the devil needed a strategy that will work best in bringing down persons. Some demons suggested this, some suggested that, and finally one came up with the idea of causing persons to put off for tomorrow, that which could and should be done today.
Hebrews 3:7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if you will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
