Ancient roots: Socrates and the BodyZone Philosophy

Move, Feel & Be Well

2300 years ago, Socrates promoted the BodyZone tagline of “Move, Feel and Be Well”
“The bodily habit (is) spoiled by rest and idleness, but preserved for a long time by motion and exercise. Motion is a good, and rest an evil, to the soul as well as to the body.”

Socrates, as quoted in Plato’s Theaetetus, written circa 360 B.C.
