The past two years have been filled with lots of changes.  One of the most significant is that I now work out with a trainer which has propelled me into a major lifestyle change, lots more working out.  I find that working out more often has really affected lots of things in positive ways.  In addition to being in better shape which is sort of obvious, I also find that I am making healthier choices in lots of ways.  A surprising benefit is that I find that when I concentrate on something during the day after working out I am much more capable of focusing.

The real surprise is when I also take the opportunity to pray on a workout day I am able to connect more deeply with the experience itself.  This might seem contradictory to my post of last week, I am not only introducing in sharing my challenges but also the ways I overcome them, or at least attempt to.

Do you workout?  Do you pray?  Do you find a connection between the two?
