Health and Exercise is Wealth with Recipes
I get most of my exercise these days from shaking my head in disbelief.
ANONYMOUS
I did a push-up today. Well, actually I fell down, but I had to use my arms to get back up so, you know, close enough.
ANONYMOUS
Better to hunt in fields, for health unbought,
Than fee the doctor for a nauseous draught.
The wise, for cure, on exercise depend;
God never made his work for man to mend.
JOHN DRYDEN
Epistle to John Driden of Chesterton
Exercise is wonderful ... I could sit and watch it all day.

Exercise has a direct brain connection, when you consider what it actually does. What we tend to overlook are the feedback loops that connect the brain to every cell in the body. Therefore when you throw a ball, run on a treadmill, or jog along the shore, billions of cells are "seeing" the outside world. The chemicals transmitted form the brain are acting the way sense organs do, making contact with the outside world and offering stimulation from that world. This is why the jump from being sedentary to doing a minimal amount of exercise - such as walking, light gardening, and climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator - is so healthy. Your cells want to be part of the world.

If you would get exercise, go in search of the springs of life.

The benefits of exercise, to those whose occupation does not lead them to make any physical exertion, cannot be too highly estimated; the body must undergo a certain amount of fatigue to preserve its natural strength and maintain all the muscles and organs in proper vigor.
