MANY PEOPLE SEEK EXERCISE IN SOME FORM:

Aerobic dancing, walking, working out in a gymnasium, sports, a recommended fitness routine, and so on. Some people work out every day doing something they believe is beneficial. This is good in the sense that movement, in general, is good.

We were designed to move.

The best reason to exercise is to make life better, significantly better.

In order to make our lives work, the body must be in excellent shape. Look at children. See how much energy they have. They are not limited by aches and pains or the fatigue of sitting hours in a chair. They have energy; they have the will to try new things; experiment; fall; get up again; and accomplish great things.

This is what exercise should do for us. It should give us the clarity of mind to make wiser decisions. It should give us the peace of mind to enjoy what is in front of us more. It should give us the energy to solve hard problems. It should give us the bounce to make life fun and pleasing.

These are the larger goals of Falk’s approach to exercise. His approach teaches one about relaxation, lightness, and well-being. It works. It really works.

Thus the purpose of exercise is not solely to build muscles. It is not at all to impress someone else. It is not to run a marathon, although to do so is a great achievement. It is not solely to lift an even heavier weight. Rather, the purpose is living, in the best sense of the word.

There will be several direct efforts of a sound exercise program. The most obvious is one’s physical health. For me, my exercise program has caused a dramatic physical shift.

Related to this are major mental effects. These are more subtle, but potent. Exercise can make every day better than it would be otherwise. Exercise can help one get back one’s equilibrium, help one see the good things when trouble occurs. It can give mental bounce, make good things even better. This is what the right exercise program can do.
