This was an excellent read - it speaks to my personal experience. After my second pregnancy I lost all my baby weight but I got pregnant again and gained back all Id lost. This second time around Ive found that exercise is striving toward wholeness and a fuller life. Fitness is a quest for character, virtue, beauty and pleasure. The point of intelligent exercise is full embodiment of that, a commitment to working out the body and the mind together...It takes effort, but thinking about how you sit, stand, walk, do squats or ride a bike can help you gain a better sense of how your body works while maximizing exercise. Ask yourself: What exactly are you working out? Why are you working out? What are your muscles for? Young argues there’s a different impetus at work — an inner challenge. As he writes, “the goal is not simply to win but to impress upon the world the stamp of our own existence; to walk away with a heightened feeling of our own enterprise.”
