Why is exercise important?
“Everything that isn’t exercise is recuperation, but for me the benefits of off time come not from enhancing athletic performance but from enhancing life.
Exercise, fitness, sport,
and even health are only important
in that they serve a broader purpose
– life. ”
We are made more alive by exercise and fitness but reading, playing, studying, and loving also make us more
alive and enrich us greatly entirely independent of our physical well being. I wholly recommend that you focus
the 23-½ hours daily of non-exercise not on increased physical performance but on enriching your soul.”
- Greg Glassman, CF Journal, Issue 29, 2005
