“The condition of the physical body can affect the spirit. That’s why the Lord gave us the Word of Wisdom. He also said that we should retire to our beds early and arise early (see D&C 88:124), that we should not run faster than we have strength (see D&C 10:4), and that we should use moderation in all good things. … Food can affect the mind, and deficiencies of certain elements in the body can promote mental depression. … Rest and physical exercise are essential, and a walk in the fresh air can refresh the spirit. Wholesome recreation is part of our religion and is a necessary change of pace; even its anticipation can lift the spirit” (President Ezra Taft Benson (1899–1994), “Do Not Despair,” Ensign, Oct. 1986, ).

I need to exercise more. Maybe it's time to dust off my Wii Fit, get me some running shoes and go for a jog in the park. Thanks, K! You're awesome!
