Why I Write About Fitness (September Posting Challenge)

Five reasons I write about fitness:

There is not enough fitness content on the internet that is actually healthy and good for you.

• So much is driven by sex or sexual appeal.
• So much is unrealistic and dishonest because it is secretly powered by drugs and shortcuts.
• So much is unhealthy because it focuses on identity and says "you are what you look like."
• I want to write things that are actually good for people.

Physical training is good for people so I want people (and especially pastors) to be inspired to train their bodies.

• Movement, sweating, training creates endorphins so you feel good and have less depression.
• Fitness helps people be healthy long-term and avoid knee, shoulder, hip issues and avoid some diabetes and other health issues.

I have expertise as a former personal trainer.

• I enjoyed my time as a trainer and learned a lot.
• I still use it today.

I like physical training.

Writing about fitness helps me think clearly about fitness and health.

• This helps me apply what I learn to myself.
