Why should you be running when you are not wicked? After all, Scripture has said that the wicked runneth when no one pursues them. But for you dear believer, running in the physical is not because of your wickedness but for your wellbeing. Did you know that running does not just improve your general heart condition and the function of your lungs, but it also stimulates the brain? Yes, running. It reduces stress and improves your mood and improves your overall confidence. How cool is that?

Many people who make new year’s resolutions have a health and wellness resolution. In fact, Fitness and health-related resolutions alongside financial ones are among the most abandoned resolutions every year. Thanks to social media, Gym subscriptions and having a personal trainer seem to be the only way to get fit & healthy fast. False.

You can improve your health and wellness unceremoniously, even in the backyard. All you need is good running shoes, space to run and music if you move that way. You can choose to live healthily today and do more physical activity.

Make the commitment and plan to show up every day. Don’t be disappointed when you miss some days or lose motivation after a while. Recommit and show up. The journey to a fit and healthy body is a marathon, not a sprint. After all, the race is not to the swift, nor the battle for the strong.
