My brother sent me a link to an on-line magazine called Faith and Fitness. There are several big name contributors including Lee Haney and Dennis Tinerino. Both are very passionate about their Christian faith and about fitness. Most people agree that health and fitness are very much intertwined with our emotional and spiritual lives. This site looks at fitness from a Christian perspective and has some good articles on training for youth and children as well.
As a Christian myself, I realize that my desire for fitness has a spiritual aspect. Something beyond pure vanity drives me to take care of my body although vanity surely plays a role! If you believe that God created mankind for His glory- which is the orthodox Christian view, then you must look at how most people treat their bodies as counter to what God wants for us. I really don’t think that Adam and Eve in the original creation account looked like the typical American. Even if you don’t believe the creation account in the Bible, it must still strike you as wrong to “de-evolve” into what we have today. Faith has a powerful effect in people’s lives and I believe that it will play a crucial role in helping people live healthier more productive lives.
