Physical Wellness

Physical wellness involves the care for and the knowledge of our body toward the realization of optimal health, comfort and strength for the fulfillment of personal mission. It is achieved in part through understanding of the body and the forces and factors that affect it, and through the pleasurable exercise and cultivation of its functions. The highest expressions of physical wellness are found not only in examples of athletic excellence, but also in our care for our physical safety and health for the sake of those who depend on us.
