Respect

Check us out! This is the 7:00 p.m group of studs that get their sweat on each Tuesday and Thursday at warehouse D in Nibley. I call it my "by-weekly butt kicking." It's really called Body Rebellions' Boot Camp.

People exercise for a lot of reasons. I do it cause I am crazy about 'Up-downs.' (Ha! Did you catch any sarcasm there?) Seriously though, I had this revelation a while back, it went something like this:

Respect, that's why.

Respect for my Maker, who gave me this gift.

Respect for the way that I was designed, booty and all.

Respect for me, who deserves to feel good. Respect for the incredible things that I can do. (I've given birth twice! And there was that little marathon.)

Respect for the people that depend on me. Real love for others must begin with love for self.

When I exercise I am freed from other cares. Stress melts away. (Have you ever been through a bunching bag workout? Cheap therapy, and TONS of fun.) I have more patience with my family, more energy, more life. The endorphin rush is a good time, no matter how much you hurt after.

Happiness with self is about so much more than being thin.

Respect, and SWEAT ON class of 7:00 pm!
