I was able to fit in a quick workout this afternoon at the YMCA. As I started on the Stair-stepper (my least favorite machine in the world), I started to read through your FB and Blog posts and I was truly inspired by all of you and the time flew by! Thanks for sharing your challenges and triumphs. You are all so amazing.
Once I was finishing my stair-stepper workout, I glanced around the room to see what I should do next and noticed an elderly woman trying to get on to an exercise bike. She had to have been at least 85 years old. She had a brace on her leg and an oxygen tank next to her with tubes going into her nose. When I say that it took her at least 2 minutes to get her feet on the pedals of the bike, I am not exaggerating. But then she put bike to level 4 and began. I was so inspired by her that I decided to do the bike next to her and when my 20 minutes were up, she was still going to town. Amazing!
We all have our own challenges, some are certainly greater than others - but this woman today proved to me that I can either make excuses or I can get on the machine (however long it takes) and start pedaling.
Peace in Christ!
