I do think that exercise is important, not only to keep you in shape but also for your state of mind. However, I am not fanatical about it.

Just like you need to strengthen your core physically with exercise, you also need to strength your core spiritually.

Exercise is about being grateful for the body you have and sustaining the life you have.

Mindfulness practices enhance the connection between our body, our mind and everything else that is around us. Mindful living is the key to understanding our struggles with weight and to empowering us to control our weight.

Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.

The mind is the most important part of achieving any fitness goal. Mental change always comes before physical change.

Exercise keeps me occupied, which is good for my mental health.

Ever since boyhood I've made a religion of keeping in shape by regular, conscientious exercise.

A lot of exercise is mindless; you can have music or the radio on and not be aware. But if you're aware in anything you do - and it doesn't have to be yoga - it changes you. Being present changes you.
