Exercising just because we can? I suspect with some, this is the case. But for a better good. Hate or love your body machine.

Cyclist - Do as much as is comfortable in all/any ways. Don't go over what you THINK you want or can. Respect your body and do not damage. Love it, too, but talk with it. Mine takes me away with it, and I love it for its durability. But we all of us have so much patience. (Mine goes on, and on a - most durable but repetitive turntable.)

I see my body as a Temple, I pray it never lets me down, sometimes, just sometimes it does, probably because I have expected too much of it. We have to listen to ours bodies and treat them with respect they will respond well then. Well that's my opinion :)
