I just attended an aerobics class today, my first one in many years. I'm not in great shape but I was able to keep up for most of it and afterward felt good in my body, albeit rather tired.
Genesis chapter one tells us that God created humanity in His image and its clear from the design of our bodies that God intended us to be creatures that move. I took up salsa dancing a few years ago and one of the things I like about it is the fact that it's energetic. You can get a good workout from a few hours on the dance floor and have a great time too!
I'm so glad that God designed us to be active and that getting active would make us feel good - that tells me that God loves pleasure and loves giving the capacity for pleasure to His creatures. That's one thing I've noticed about following Jesus - the more I get to know Him, the greater my appreciation and awe for Him and the greater my capacity to enjoy Him.
Here's a video of what the human body it capable of:
