🏆 Achievement unlocked 100 handstand pushups in one day (20 sets of 5 reps each) From elementary through high school, I was often the last to be picked for any sport. I wasn’t athletic and I didn’t look athletic. People made fun of me for my chubby look. I got tired easily. I had (and still have some) self-confidence issues. Many people joked I would never get a girlfriend. People called me “fat,” “uncool,” “loser.” That is not me anymore. Jesus Christ has done wonders for my soul, my life, my confidence, and my eternal home. But God did not transform my physical body. I had to work on that myself. I never imagined I would be a calisthenics athlete. It is more than just being physically fit. I have to mentally push myself every single day to get through increasingly difficult body weight exercises. But I do it, I work hard. Physical discipline translates to mental and spiritual discipline. I could not even do one handstand pushup a year ago. Now I could do 100. We have just moved from USA to Malaysia. There are many fresh and imposing challenges we are now facing. Looking at them now, I feel a bit scared. But I know we will look back and see how we overcame not just 1, but 100s of them. “Yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.” #calisthenics #handstandpushup #100hspu #jesus #exercise #discipline #fitness #relocation #quarantine (at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTLyJ9fhk5a/?utm_medium=tumblr
