A Little Theology of Exercise: Enjoying Christ in Body and Soul

"Because Jesus made our bodies, they matter to him, sin-hampered as they are. And he designed our bodies, in all their wonder and abilities, to serve rather than hinder our joy in him and facilitate our imaging him in our world. In our sedentary age, many Christians will find modest exercise and bodily training to be valuable in our calling as humans and Christians. What motivations, then, will get us out of bed and off the couch to glorify God in our bodies? How might we exercise as Christians in such a way that Christ is honored and our souls are satisfied in him?"-
