Taking care of your body is an act of worship. Don't misunderstand me, God isn't talking about having a Rambo-like body to get power, success and admiration or to be attractive to women. There are eternal issues at stake. God wants you to be healthy so you can serve Him better-and longer. He even promises that when you ask, He will give you the power of the Holy Spirit to be self-disciplined.
Exercise is the key.
A study of more than 21,000 men showed that fitness, not leanness, is the secret to longevity. If you are fit and fat, you will still live longer and happier with more energy and less chance of disease. First, exercise your heart through aerobic exercises like brisk walking, jogging, bicycling or swimming. Second, build back your muscle by lifting weights. Repetitions build endurance and increased resistance builds muscle mass.
