The Heroism of Muscle
“Muscle, throughout history, has been next of kin to the heroic, and the heroic is eternal.”
–TC Luoma, fitness writer and humorist
I try to stay in good physical shape, and I do so by lifting weights and swimming. But hey, you don’t have to be a muscle-bound superman to know a sound body is the handmaiden of a sound mind. This concept — as well as the concept of heroism — goes all the way back to ancient Greece. I’m a big fan of fitness, and an even bigger fan of heroism. So why not take care of your body and your mind? I suspect you’ll be a lot more heroic in your loved-ones’ eyes because of it.
