I agree with the statement, but I don’t think it is exercise specifically. It’s work. We’ve perverted the word work, generally speaking, to amount to sitting in front of a computer screen for 40 hours a week. Genesis 2:15, and there are thousands of example in the Bible, details Man being placed in the Garden to work it. And then in 3:23, we were sent out of the Garden to work the land from which we were taken. And it was to be difficult. Proverbs 18:9 says whoever is slack in his work is a brother to him who destroys. Solomon, named the wisest of men, said in Ecclesiastes 3:22 that there was nothing than for man to rejoice in his work. He calls it his lot. Colossians 3:23 commands we work heartily for the Lord. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 says if one doesn’t work, he shouldn’t eat. We were made to work and it is a blessing. Exercise is a form of this.

Agreed. Exercising is for the mind, the body is a good secondary result

Lifted this morning, riding a bike this afternoon. LFG!!!

Feeling like hell unless you force yourself to exercise is a sign something is wrong with your metabolism. In our natural state, play, the vocation of enjoying our body's movement, is not something that requires discipline. We are drawn to it in order to spend down our bountiful energy. Physical play is the result of good metabolic health, not it's cause. #Peatstr View quoted note →

Nice

Exercise and fitness are the best medicine for the mind.
