Greetings my beloved Brothers and Sisters in Satan.
I would like to reiterate how
important physical exercise is.
Here is some ancient wisdom for your heart to understand.
“No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.”
- Socrates
"Besides, it is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit. But you cannot see that if you are careless, for it will not come of its own accord.”
- Socrates
"Without exercise, a good diet alone is not sufficient and eventually medical treatment will be needed"
– Hippocrates
"Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it" – Epictetus
Ours is a philosophy of Truth and Braveness, we can't embody it if we don't at least strive to have a Healthy and Strong body.
The immortal gods have made it so: To achieve excellence, we first must sweat.
-Hesiod
As you can see, fitness was regarded as extremely important even thousands of years ago.
As movement and going forward is the basis of life, stagnancy is death. Fitness is about the body's freedom of movement, muscles and joints let your body move and exert force, without muscles there would be no movement, that is why developing them is extremely important.
We constantly see people with bodily problems like back ache, hip pain and other related problems, what is the similarity between all of them? They don't take care of their body with exercise. Their muscles don't work as they should and as thus their body starts to decay, what follows are all kind of surgeries that put many shekels in the doctor's pocket and don't fix people's problems, because at the root of the problem is always lack of exercise. People who get their hips replaced could've just strengthened and stretched their hips, and they would feel the results in weeks if not days, instead they are ignorant and go to the (((experts))) who suggest them deeply invasive and expensive surgeries that leave people worse than before.
Our bodies are supposed to move
a lot. The 21st century habit of never even taking a walk is extremely destructive to the human body.
Strength training is extremely important not just for the now, but especially for the future. I believe we all have in mind the classical example of the grandpa or grandma who has trouble just standing up, that is not the result of old age, that is the result of having spent a lifetime not taking care of the body. I think we all heard about old farmers who can still lift heavy and move, without their age holding them back, that is because, while the farmer wasn't exactly a gym enthusiast, his work for all of his life was about movement and doing strenuous things every day, and as thus his body held up.
Here is an example of a 90 years old Grandma who took care of her body:
And here is an example of a 90 years old man who took care of his body:
As you can see, training the body will have a huge impact on whether you will be able to move or not while old.
STRENGTH TRAINING
There are different types of strength training, but people mostly categorize it in calisthenics and weight lifting, people even argue about what is the best between those. Let's leave the fighting about that to the normies and understand that even doing pushups is "weight lifting", as you are lifting your own weight. What is proven is that bodyweight exercises(calisthenics) translate to weight lifting gains, while weight lifting doesn't translate to bodyweight exercises gains. For example, people who can do weighted pushups, will have a good time doing a bench press, while those doing bench presses won't have the same strength as those who do weighted pushups, that's because the pushup is more holistical and works many more muscles than the bench press. Ideally one will mix the two, but keep in mind that there are totally retarded weight lifting exercises, such as the lat pull down, which is extremely inferior to simple pull-ups, and cannot even build the strength to reach pull-ups.
CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH
Running is very important and everybody should run. Running will strengthen your heart, and it's ironical that people want to lift weights and build muscle but not train the muscle that keeps them alive. Running will also make your body much more energetic and able to do strenuous things more easily. Nothing beats running, HPS Maxine has also said that there is nothing that can replace running and it should be done every day, if not every day at least 3 times a week. Mixing long distance running and sprinting is great and necessary. It's very important to get the running form correctly, for that I would watch youtube videos and/or get a running coach for a couple of times. But to make it short: Hold good posture, keep your core braced(not too much as to distract you from the run), and make sure to have your feet facing forward and using your ankles against the floor when running. If your ankles aren't weak after running, then you're not using them.
Running also is not an extremely pleasurful act, at the beginning at least, so it will also develop willpower and make you mentally stronger.
FLEXIBILITY
Being flexible is extremely important, by being flexible your QI, or bioelectricity and your blood will flow much better. Stagnating QI is literal death, thus comes the statement that "movement is life". Being flexible will make your life much more easier, how pathetic is it for a grown adult to not even be able to touch his toes. One myth about flexibility is that your range of motion is determined by your muscles being tight, we can say they're tight, but it's not the actual muscles that decide to get tight, it's your nervous system that decides if your range of motion will be limited or not. Your body also stores trauma in the form of muscle tightness, by stretching your muscles you will come to terms with traumas that you have interiorized and be able to release yourself from them. And also, I don't know about you, but in my view, being able to do splits is pretty fucking cool.
PNF stretching is great as it stretches the muscles but also created strenght in these new ranges of motion you have created. Hatha yoga is also great for flexibility, but don't stretch hard every day or you will risk pulling a muscle.
The image below is cool, we want that.
TRAINING YOUR CORE
This is fundamental, your core is the base of the pyramid, all else will fall if you don't train it. I can't emphasize how important your core is, I'd rather train the core than anything else if I had to pick just one thing to exercise.
It includes your pelvis, lower back, hips and abdominal muscles. Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony. People who complain of whatever pain in their body, most often than not (99% of the cases) have a weak core. Our 21st century sitting lifestyle make our core muscles atrophy, our glutes become non existant just by sitting all day, and our abdominals become weak and under utilised. Training the core is extremely important, Planks, side planks, hollow body holds, glute bridges ecc. It becomes difficult for someone to train these if he has never trained them and they are atrophied, in that case you need to work on reactivating them, remember that these muscles should be utilized throughout the whole day, it's not just something you train for 10 minutes and you forget about them, your glutes should be used whenever you walk, your core should lightly be braced at all times unless you are resting. If you can't or don't know how to use these muscles, start learning about them and how to use them, try and feel in your immagination how they should work and try to imitate that feeling by contracting them. If you need help just post a comment asking and I will help you.
TRAINING MUSCLES THAT ARE UNDER HYPED
In the modern fitness scene there are muscles that people don't consider important to train but are also important to train, like the
neck or the
forearms.
Let's start with my favourite, the forearms. Strong forearms are strongly correlated with a strong willpower, I can't describe you how much it feels good to have strong forearms, it's the kind of strength that let's you hold someone's wrist and without them being able to free themselves, it's the strength to hold yourself on a bar with one hand or the strength to crush an apple with your hand. Old time strong men would train these, today it's much more unheard of, and a man bending a coin is seen as something supernatural while it's just a man that trained his forearms.
I personally train my forearms with a mix of hanging with one arm, or hanging with weights on a backpack, or hanging with just my fingers(be careful and don't overdo it, or you might hurt your fingers), I also train the pinching ability of my thumb by pinching the side of a door and hanging just with that on the door side. I also train supination and pronation with a sledgehammer like this:
and radial and ulnar deviations like this:
Then I also do wrist pushups which imo are the most important as they allow you to create the strength necessary for your wrists to hold you in a handstand, here's a video demonstrating them
As for about the neck, this is the part of your body that holds your head, which is very heavy, having a strong neck will make you look more fierce and is gonna protect your neck from incidents like car crashes or bad falls. All men would like a neck like that of Mike Tyson's.
Here are videos that show the best exercises for the neck:

I will also share, with those who managed to read till here, a little but great and exoteric secret that not everybody knows of that will have great advantages on your fitness: When working out, only breath with your nose, that seems to make your body much less tired, this seems to be the secret to the godly ability of the Raràmuri mexican tribe to run many many Kilometers without getting tired.
Remember, fitness is life, we need it, it's not a matter of being a gym junkie, it's about enjoying and living life. Adding some time for fitness everyday means making yourself stronger and healthy, which means a lot to us Spiritual Satanists. Life is sacred, life is movement.
Hopefully you understand the importance of fitness with this post. And I hope you all find it useful.
If you have any problems with your body please ask me, I have spent a lot of time fixing my problems, so much that I'm sure I can send people the right way in regards to healing theirs.
Thank you !
