Back in the Gym we always found people what is called spot training. For instance, many people find that their abs are not looking like they should. So naturally they work on them. They work and work and work. I have to give them some kind of props because they could do more situps than most people, but they still weren't seeing their abs. By raise of hands does anyone care to explain this? Well I can't see any hands so I'll go ahead and explain it. Fat burns all over the body instead of the area that is being worked out. So naturally they aren't burning enough calories with just the situps to see any kind of results. The more of your body you workout, the more fat is burned. Very simple solution. Full body workout.
Spot training in a spiritual sense is when we see that we really need to pray more, so all we do is pray. Or we notice that we need to read our scriptures, so all we do is read. Spiritually working out is actually much like this Blowflex. It can offer us many different workouts from lower body, to upper body, to core workouts. But more often than not we only use one part of it or don't focus on the whole body. The options are their, but for whatever reason we don't utilize them all. When we do this we are spiritually spot training. Let us use all the tools the Lord has placed in front of us for our benifit. He has given us everything that we could possibly need to find and return to Him. He has given us Prophets, the Scriptures, our parents, and above all our ability to communicate with Him through prayer. He has given us the Bowflex, if you will, for our spirits. Let's utilize everything that He has placed at our disposal to return to Him. That is the result we each desire deep down and it will be very difficult if not impossible to accomplish this by spiritually spot training. Keep up the good work and keep working out. We're all gonna need it to keep strong in this crazy world of ours. Remember that Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. He will always help us as we turn to Him.
