Prayer after a long walk

Lord,
My wife loves walking for exercise;
bless her!
I do NOT.
A stroll after dinner is nice.
A long walk on the beach is enjoyable.
I like going on a hike in the woods,
but I do not enjoy walking for exercise.
I'm not sure why it feels so different.

Lord,
you know what I do like after a long walk?!
Sitting down
a chair holding my weight 
with a cool drink of water.
The rest after the sweaty movement is the best especially when it's in the mountains.

Lord,
Use each step to make me more healthy.
Teach me the joy of exercise, please?!
And receive my soulful gratitude 
as I rest in this chair
with a glass of cool water
on the porch in your mountains!
Alleluia.
Amen.
