“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew:Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”
-President John F. Kennedy
This quote comes one of our leaders and successor of the United States of America, Mr. President Kennedy. This quote summarizes the importance of the effect physical fitness has on us. Physical fitness in important in my everyday life, it’s what gives me the energy to do what i do everyday. In this quote Kennedy clary states what we know from our history, the Greeks. The Greeks have proven to us on how much intelligence and skills can only function on a strong but healthy body. This statement opposing to the Greeks is very well true. What this quote clearly states is our actions, the more better actions we do to yourself the more we learn and become stronger. Physical fitness you can say is what we depend on for the day, it’s our source of energy to keep up moving throughout the day and complete to learn more. Besides the importance physical fitness has to do with creating intellectual activity, it brings us in good mood. When in good health we feel good and well rested, it creates the way you can respond with others. Physical fitness focuses on both your daily movement and the way we react.
A great example that fits with this quote by John F. Kennedy is communication. Everyday we communicate at least once or more times with one individual and/or ourselves. Physical fitness has an impact on both my daily movement and the way we react. For example; let's say one day throughout the week you got well rested, your calm, stress free, and you just feel relaxed and the world is just perfect and then the rest of the week it’s just the opposite. I personally have gone through this, and i get very cranky and mood swings when i am with others. I am not the true me at these times, it’s just not me and it;s not cool. Besides that, on the days i feel good i am like the most energized and happiest person always smiling. The reasons for these different moods are affected based on my daily actions, like managing my time and going to sleep early. My daily actions affect your future physical fitness for the next day.
