Why do we need to exercise in the first place? What does it truly mean to maintain health? These are the key questions we will address here.

To go about daily life, we need muscular strength to move our bodies. Those who become bedridden experience muscle deterioration, making it difficult to maintain posture. This alone makes it clear why exercise is essential.

Most people also understand that sweating feels refreshing, which is another reason to exercise. However, physical movement goes beyond just muscle activity. Exercise that incorporates breathing helps maintain and improve the function of internal organs. It also contributes to mental and physical training, integrating the mind (brain) and body, unlocking infinite human potential.

One ideal exercise method that harmonizes breath and movement is yoga. However, what’s most important is choosing a form of exercise that you can continue throughout your life—until your final days.

If all of humanity were to achieve physical and mental well-being, the world would be filled with happiness. Wishing you all good health and a fulfilling life.
