Spent a very active day yesterday doing eight hours of yard work.
Is exercise on your agenda today?
And if not today, will you log at least three days minimum of decent physical activity?

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
Yesterday’s ride happened after a decent breakfast.
Can you approach today with joy?
Yes, it sounds like a stupid question.
Come to a full and complete stop at every stop sign?
Drive the speed limit?
Eat a healthy breakfast before rushing out the door.
Get some decent exercise before breakfast?
Silly now?
Yes, joyfully silly.

Six singers, three guitarists, one keyboard, and one drummer.
We exercised our experimentation and fed our curiosity.
The music was lively and passionate.
As the fourth song was ending, i noticed that people were still arriving.
It took four songs before the arrivals stopped. We all have many reasons for being late.
The Church uses the songs to pass the time until everyone arrives. The people who are late might rationalize that being late is okay because the main message doesn’t start until 20 minutes past the hour.
The songs also set the mood and tone, serving as a bridge from Earthly issues to Heavenly issues.
Late arrivals miss the warm up.
Olympic athletes and world-class musicians never skip their warm up before an important effort.
It’s part of the reason they’re world class.

Contrary to popular thinking (driven by the media), losing weight is not the primary goal from exercise.
Exercise’s primary goal is strength, endurance and range of motion.
Extra weight is unhealthy. At least it is for me.
Have trouble accepting this?
Fill a small backpack with 50 pounds of stuff and wear it 24/7 for one week. yes, wear it to bed, in the shower, even while exercising.
Tough, right?
Well, that’s happens over time. Gaining 50 pounds doesn’t happen overnight. Odds are decent that gaining another 50 pounds could happen in your next 10-20 years.
So imagine wearing a 100-pound backpack.
Excess weight is unhealthy. The primary goal for exercise is physical wellness. Secondarily, it can add joy, camaraderie, and confidence to your karma.
