Modern biblical commentators suggest that this verse declares that smoking and unhealthy eating violate the laws of the Bible. I must admit, however, that the classical reading of this verse does not relate it to good physical health, except to say that one should take care of his soul as much as he does his body. This verse is not one of the 613 commandments God in the first 5 books of the Bible says Jews must follow. Nonetheless, you may want to consider adding this verse to your list.

It's a program I would certainly like to introduce to my church and I don't know of a more inspirational example to lead such a program than you and your wife.

A great way to share your passion & help others at the same time. We hinder our own abililty to serve Him & live a life well lived, by not treating our body as the holy temple that scripture says it is. It can be easy to turn this fitness thing into an idol. But when kept in proper perspective, to use it to enrich our lives, it's a great resource to a better & more fulfilling life. :D Kudos to you & your wife.
