I was performing a fitness assessment the other day when my client shared a very wise Chinese saying with me: "Move a tree, it is dead. Move a man, he is alive." I love this! It sums up so much about fitness - humans were designed to be physicially active. When a person becomes sedentary, her body slows down and stops working well. Like a machine, her body and mind need to be moved and challenged to keep itself charged.
Another less inspired way to say it is "use it or lose it."
Be well.
