on Exercise and God

by the 3rd gym session this week (thanks to my dear friend), I was feeling a lil underworked though we spent the same amount of time each time, working on almost the same machines. I reckon it's prolly due to the fact that my muscles have been accustomed to the work done on them.

The function of a muscle is to permit movement and to maintain posture. When additional work is applied on a muscle, it achieves strength gains. Over a period of time, less effort is required to perform the same task because the muscle is already accustomed to the amount of weight applied. When you continue to pile on the weights, you will just get stronger.

I liken that to our walk with God. We are born with a purpose. Initially, it might be hard work to do what is good for us. But when we discipline ourselves to do what is good and right, it will be easier after a while because our capacity is enlarged every single time we train. That allows room for more growth and creates the foundation for greater things to come.

I have been talking too much with the doctor (he's gay and attached to my friend). I like the conversations we have. It stimulates me. Talking to me reminded me how much I loved Biology, Anatomy and Physiology. I googled Physiotherapy, just to explore what I could do in that line. (too much, not worth the money and time spent on studying).

0118! Got to wake up early for church! Ciaoz!
