Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The purpose of training is to tighten up the slack, toughen the body, and polish the spirit.
It's the cross-training that's key. It doesn't let your body adapt to one stimulus too much and it keeps your workouts exciting.
Spiritual 'exercise' keeps your mind in shape the way physical exercise keeps your body in shape.
Exercise is about being grateful for the body you have and sustaining the life you have.
I train for one-and-a-half hours every day in order to keep my energy level high.
Practice puts brains in your muscles.
If someone were to actually come to one of our training sessions, there's lots of flipping and sweating and crying and blood going on all over the place. I mean, if that doesn't qualify it as a sport, then I don't know what does.
The great thing about training/exercise is it is non-bias. It changes from person to person, but everyone can still enjoy the benefits.
But on average, I go to the gym about four or five times a week. Today, I'm so experienced in training - I'm actually listening to my body now. My body needs freedom. When I train I create serenity and I produce oxygen in my blood. It helps me to think better and relax. By training, you accentuate the problem.
The spirit, like the body, can be strengthened and developed by frequent exercise. Just as the body, if neglected, grows weaker and finally impotent, so the spirit perishes if untended.
