quotations about exercise
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
A bear, however hard he tries, grows tubby without exercise.

Exercise raises body temperature and generates other forms of stress on cells throughout the body, causing them to increase their manufacture of certain heat shock proteins. Preliminary research suggests that these HSPs might contribute to the health benefits of exercise by mitigating damage inside cells and by alerting the immune system to boost overall immune responses.

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.

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