While enjoying a workout at the local gym, I am approached by a gentleman that has recognized me from my book and my success story. After we swapped pleasantries he felt the need to share his fitness goals and asked my opinion on common tips to obtain them.
Well anyone who knows me well knows that, he received an ear full that day. Sometimes I’m told that I get my cardio in thru my mouth…hee hee.
“May I ask a personal question?” Being my quick wit self, responded “You just did, but you may another.” After a brief chuckle, his countenance changed as he spoke, taking subtle breath and asked.
“Do you have to deal with saggy skin?”
Noticing that this is a big fear of his, so I responded calmly,
“Yes, to a certain degree. However the sagginess can be minimized because the Good Lord has made our bodies incredibly resilient. So if we slowly reach our goal, then our body has time to work it God given elasticity by using proper nutrition, consistent exercise and of course plenty of water. That is it!”
The deer-caught-in-highlight on his face he asked “No special products shakes or pills?” I quickly responded “only if your doctor tell you to.”
Psalm 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
