Walk in Place

 

 

Walk in place

 

Exercising to my 15-year-old VHS tape (yes, this is pre-DVD for your younger folks) – with my 15-year older body – I found myself not able to keep up with the aerobics instructor on the tape.  So, I just stopped and kept walking – surprisingly she said, “Ok, do what you can do – just walk in place if you are tired.”

Wow, how did she know?

 

After two weeks of almost faithfully (at least two times a week) trying to keep up with her, it is getting easier.  I’m still not able to perform like the people on the tape, but that gray haired lady reflected in a mirror in my exercise room with an old t-shirt and sweats (not the cute outfits of gals on tape) is moving better even though I do walk in place a few times!

How is your walk going?  You know the plan you had at the beginning of the year to:

Exercise more?

Eat better?

If you are like me – you haven’t exactly kept up with the goals and resolutions, you made in January.  Maybe sickness, the weather or just a busy schedule has slowed down your progress.

This is no reason to stop – keep going.

Last week I exercised only two days instead of the six days of the weeks before.  But this week back to six days. Three days of aerobics and other three treadmill, stepper & weights.

Maybe we need to “walk in place” until we can keep up.

 

Isaiah 40:30-31 New International Version (NIV)

30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

 

Walk

He can walk!

Yes, my husband John was able to walk the next morning after back surgery. He was in a wheelchair for 3 weeks prior to surgery.  The PT lady in the hospital was amazed how well he walked and the doctor released him that day.  Wow, back surgery and only one night in the hospital. Praise God!

Walk

 is my word to consider for 2018

 – –  how we take it for granted.
