Tim Tebow wants you to understand the importance of taking care of your body.
“Taking care of your body and being a good steward of it in every way, form and fashion is so important,” the former Heisman trophy winner said on an episode of the “Post Run High” podcast. “There’s a lot of people that they want to be their best, but maybe they’re so focused on business or their career or something, but actually the right movement, the right sleep, the right fuel, all of that is just going to make you better with more clarity, with more energy, with more drive for that thing that you’re striving for.”

“A lot of people say, ‘Well, because you’re done playing, you’ll take it easy now.’ And I say no, because a lot of it wasn’t just for a game. I want to be my best at everything that I get to do, you know, especially when I’m doing things that are more important than a game,” he continued. “And so if I would give all that effort and and diet and nutrition and everything to a game. Why would I give less for things that are more important?”
Tebow explained that when you workout with the right people around — for him, it’s his wife Demi — the experience becomes even better.
“If we’re around the right people, it becomes contagious, and we want to do it,” he said. “It’s really about trying to be your best, but then it’s also about how the right people around you can inspire you, which just means to be filled with the urge to do something right. And so that inspiration when you’re around the right people, it does fill you with the urge to do more, to be healthier, to go a little bit further, to train a little bit more, because you want to be your best for what you’re pursuing, but you want to be your best for them too.”
The Apostle Paul hits on this topic in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, which reads, “Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.”
If we do not take care of our bodies, the temples in which the Holy Spirit dwells, we will not be well enough to go out into the world and share the Gospel. God gave us our bodies, so why would be not want to honor Him with them?
