Exercise It
Exercise the will to succeed
The will can successfully enjoy itself.
Exercise the mind to proceed
The brain has much in procedure.
Exercise the body and to bleed
Inside the layers of itself.
Exercise again and again, indeed
To enliven the soul for its task.

You can't get rid of it with exercise alone. You can do the most vigorous exercise and only burn up 300 calories in an hour. If you've got fat on your body, the exercise firms and tones the muscles. But when you use that tape measure, what makes it bigger? It's the fat!

A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks.

The Scale
I rise out of bed, what do I find?
My bathroom scales are first on my mind
My daily routine, is get out of bed
Then to the bathroom is where I'll head
I tread ever so gently onto the scale
Then say a prayer whilst a breath I inhale
Please dear lord the pounds I am needing
Are a little bit lower than yesterdays reading
Now when I think of my calorie intake
A good weight loss reading I have to forsake
Eat less and exercise, drink no wine
I'll then lose some weight and I'll be on cloud nine
So now here we have a brand new day
Today I'll be good come what may!
Mind results in more output
Body build up is no way proportional
To the quantum of in put.
But it is much more proportional
To the efforts done with the mind set.
An hour a day in a year in gymnasium
Brings you good shape in body build
That a woodcutter life long fails to get.
Exercise unlike chopping, involves mind.

Affirmation Of Study
This day I solemnly lay,
thy abdicating poet, within mine heart;
breast to bliss aberrant rest.
Thus quarantine complete I may,
each pitiful day, as academic student;
address my amputated scholar best.
But doth that include regimen strict
scenario impulse sky T.V.; torpid dormant
flickering transcendent transmutant,
evening ebbing gloom; is tension release boon?
Abut winter chill doth enclose force hibernate
intrude to exclude; solemn somatic exercise solution
flowers early poetic fever, inaction vibrant
bursting bloom; somersault solicitous academic sworn?
somatic – affecting the body not the mind, relating to or affecting the body, especially the body as considered to be separate from the mind.
Regimen - a plan, a regulated course such as a diet, exercise or treatment, designed to give a good result.

Conversation is an exercise of the mind; gossip is merely an exercise of the tongue.
Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.
To resist the frigidity of old age, one must combine the body, the mind, and the heart. And to keep these in parallel vigor one must exercise, study, and love.

Stifle not the reader
Reading is an art,
reading is a tool.
Those who think it dumb,
must be such a fool.
Reading is enjoyment,
reading is a blast.
Reading is a separate entity
from the future and the past.
Reading is done in present,
though written in a tense.
Reading is about life,
in surprise or suspense.
Reading is a place of joy,
full of hope and song,
Reading is a place I feel
that I truly do belong.
A trapdoor to a fantasy,
A world thought lost to us,
Reading is a place of wonder,
a place that we can trust.
Why read about reality,
when I can delve into magic.
Why stifle my own happiness,
with scenarios so tragic.
Stifle not the reader,
for it is their choice alone.
Reading is an outlet,
for hearts that turned to stone.
Rest To Read
Read any...
Any thing read...

Take rest daily

Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning.

Exercise alone provides psychological and physical benefits. However, if you also adopt a strategy that engages your mind while you exercise, you can get a whole host of psychological benefits fairly quickly.

Continuing a Lenten series on prayer: Prayer is co-operation with God. It is the purest exercise of the faculties God has given us - an exercise that links these faculties with the Maker to work out the intentions He had in mind in their creation.
