The Morality of Fitness

February 27, 2010

FatherJohn Corapi is a well known Catholic preacher, scholar, and theologian. He also happens to be a black belt in karate, a former competitive boxer, and football player. In this video he addresses concerns over his health and his startling weight loss. He begins by assuring the people who care about him that he is not sick at all; in fact he is healthier than ever! Father then goes on to remind us that fitness is a moral obligation we all have. As Fr. Corapi states in his video address, “we are all precious, unique, and unrepeatable.” Take care of yourselves!

You do not have to be Catholic to benefit from Father Corapi’s thoughts on fitness. In fact, his words transcend religion and get to the heart of being human. As he says, if you know there’s action you can take to improve your health, such as diet and exercise, you must do it.

Stay healthy and strong!
