Motion is Lotion: Keep Your Body Moving to Stay Strong for Life

‍

Intro

Alright, Muscle Dogg here, and today we’re talkin’ about movement—because motion is lotion. That’s right, your body ain’t meant to sit still all day. Joints get stiff, muscles tighten up, and before you know it, you’re feelin’ old way before your time. But listen, you don’t have to accept feeling weak, sore, or stiff.

‍

God designed your body to move, and when you move, you keep your joints oiled, your muscles strong, and your energy up. Let’s break down why movement is your best medicine and how you can start feeling better today.

‍

1: You Were Made to Move

From the very beginning, God gave us bodies built for action. Genesis 2:15 says, “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.”

That means:

    •           You weren’t created to be stuck in a chair all day.

    •           Your joints, muscles, and bones stay strong when they’re used.

    •           Movement is built into your design—don’t ignore it.

‍

If you want your body to stay functional and pain-free, you gotta move it.

‍

2: Movement Keeps You Young

You ever see someone who looks way younger than their age? Chances are, they stay active. Exercise keeps your body flexible, mobile, and strong.

Proverbs 3:7-8 says, “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.”

That means:

    •           Moving your body daily keeps your joints lubricated and pain-free.

    •           Stretching and mobility work prevent stiffness and injuries.

    •           Regular activity fights off conditions like arthritis, back pain, and weak bones.

‍

You can’t stop aging, but you can control how well you move as you age.

‍

3: Small Movements, Big Benefits

A lot of people think they gotta hit the gym hard to be healthy. Wrong. Small, daily movements make a huge difference over time.

1 Timothy 4:8 says, “For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”

That means:

    •           Walk more—your legs were made for it.

    •           Stretch daily—keep your body loose and flexible.

    •           Take movement breaks—every bit of activity adds up.

‍

The key to staying strong isn’t overdoing it—it’s staying consistent.

‍

Conclusion

Your body needs motion like a car needs oil—keep it moving, and it’ll stay running smooth. When you stay active, you reduce pain, improve energy, and keep yourself feeling good for years to come.

‍

So, let me ask you: Are you keeping your body in motion, or are you letting it stiffen up? Are you using movement as medicine, or are you waiting for pain to take over?

‍

Call to Action (CTA)

Start today. Stretch, go for a walk, roll your shoulders—just move. And as you do, thank God for the body He gave you and commit to keeping it strong.
