Subject: Is habitualy working out acceptable? |
Bible Note: I do 3 cardios and 2-3 weight workouts a week and I enjoy the weight workouts, but the cardio I figure is good for me so I do it anyway. I can get into a macho thing and I have to back off. For me it becomes sin at that point. I really have to watch that. 1 Tim 6:17 says God has given us all things to enjoy. I can't see anything wrong with it. How does it detract from your worship of God? Two and one half hours a week isn't what I would call an addiction. Most people weight train 3 times a week unless they are doing different muscle groups on different days. Isn't that just basic maintanence, good health, and taking care of the vessel that God gave you? I think so. You should also do a cardio 3 times a week, that is just good health. I workout at home so it works best for me to do them on different days; it is easier to find 45 minutes than one and one half hours a day. |
