It's not surprising, though. The prevailing thought on exercise is so far from the natural expression of self and release of energy... I get this from so many directions on a daily basis. Basically, people talk about how they "should" exercise so they can get "fit". When I think of the term "fitness", the phrase that inevitably follows in my mind is "for a particular purpose". What is the purpose for which everyone "should" get fit? Attracting the desired sex? Then how come people generally get more exercise before they reach sexual maturity? I think once we lose our individual purpose, the purpose for which we would like to be fit, we lose the joy of it.
