I'm not advocating the strenuous life for everyone or trying to say it's the choice form of life. Anyone who's had the luck or misfortune to be an athlete has to keep his body in shape.

I would be tempted to say that it can lead to fattening of the soul, but I don't know anything about the soul.
Ernest Hemingway
