The challenge I took on is exercising at least three times a week. In fact, I have been doing this for about a year now. There is a gym next to my work, and I have been trying to go at least 3 times a week. I have done sit ups, tread mill, and pull ups. Not only did I lose weight, I have gained muscles. I found the following benefits to working out:
- Faster digestion & metabolism
- Clothes fit better
- More energy from the muscles that were formed
- Increased immunity- less likely to get sick
Because clothes fit better, I do not have to keep buying larger and larger sized clothes as I get older. This saves me money. I recently went to a church picnic, and we played a number of physically-challenging games. I contributed a lot to my team because I was a fast runner and I did not get tired easily-all thanks to working out. I feel healthier now than ever. I really believe that if I keep this up, I could prevent very serious diseases or illnesses such as diabetes, heart diseases, etc.
