Feel the Burn?
As a senior, I don’t know that I ever really “feel the burn” anymore. Mostly I just feel a little winded and light-headed… and maybe a little like a big bowl of Rice Krispies — snap, crackle, pop… with a few moans and groans mixed in.
Getting older has a way of turning a simple workout into a full-body testimony. The spirit is willing, but the back, knees, and everything in between have other plans.
Maybe Romans 8:26-27 was written with us in mind:
“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness… the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words… and intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.”
Still… we keep moving.
One careful push-up, one deep breath, and a whole lot of grace at a time.
Please share in the comments any fitness secrets (or horror stories) you seniors have learned.
