Socrates said THIS about Exercise

Socrates said THIS about fitness—and it may surprise you:

‘No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training,’ Socrates famously said.

A retired soldier and former wrestler, to him fitness was a moral obligation, not a choice.

Fitness wasn’t vanity - it was survival, discipline and honor.

‘What a disgrace it is,’ he said, ‘to grow old without seeing the strength your body is capable of.’
