Chapter 22—Exercise

General Statements

557. The human body may be compared to nicely adjusted machinery, which needs care to keep it in running order. One part should not be subjected to constant wear and pressure, while another part is rusting from inaction. While the mind is taxed, the muscles also should have their proportion of exercise.

558. There is quite a difference between weariness and exhaustion.—A Solemn Appeal, 64. HL 127.2

559. The compression of the waist will not allow free action of the muscles.—The Health Reformer, November 1, 1871. HL 127.3

560. Another precious blessing is proper exercise.—Testimonies for the Church 2:528. HL 127.4

561. They should go out and exercise every day, ... make it their object to do some good, working to the end of benefiting others.—Testimonies for the Church 2:531. HL 127.5
