		<description><![CDATA[OK, gang. Never let it be said that IDigFitness doesn&#8217;t keep you up to date on the latest trends in fitness research. Today, I&#8217;m going to cite you the thoughts of Seneca (born around 4 B. C.). Seneca was a Roman Stoic philosopher and statesman, and his writings have survived a lot longer than most of the writings on health and fitness being written today will. Now Seneca was not, as far as I can tell, a likely candidate for IDigFitness membership. I take it he was more into mental fitness than physical fitness, but he was a very wise man. What fascinates me is that the remarks from Seneca which I am about to quote line up very well with the cutting-edge developments in fitness today, which are beginning to re-think the whole idea of endless hours of aerobics and cardio. Perhaps that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m drawn to Seneca&#8217;s comments &#8211; they line up with what I already believe  So, here it is &#8211; straight from the Stoic himself: &#8220;For it is silly . . . and no way for an educated man to behave, to spend one&#8217;s time exercising the biceps, broadening the neck and shoulders and developing the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve never read any of the writings of the Stoic philosopher, Seneca, you&#8217;re in for a treat. Here&#8217;s a small sample to help you appreciate the value of your time. If you want more, I recommend Letters From a Stoic, also by Seneca. _________________________________ Greetings from Seneca to his friend Lucilius. Continue to act thus, my dear Lucilius &#8211; set yourself free for your own sake; gather and save your time, which till lately has been forced from you, or filched away, or has merely slipped from your hands. Make yourself believe the truth of my words, that certain moments are torn from us, that some are gently removed, and that others glide beyond our reach. The most disgraceful kind of loss, however, is that due to carelessness. Furthermore, if you will pay close heed to the problem, you will find that the largest portion of our life passes while we are doing ill, a goodly share while we are doing nothing, and the whole while we are doing that which is not to the purpose.
