WANTED: Phatmass Columnists

[Thy Geekdom Come]

Sojourner, Carrie, and I can co-write a piece on Natural Exercise Methods and why people need to take breaks after long periods of exercise in certain circumstances, while others, who can bear the weight of the fullness of exercise, may exercise at will with no real discipline in the sense of setting a rigorous schedule.

Perhaps we can write a point/counterpoint about the benefits of using structured natural exercise methods with planned vs. those of a daily exercise schedule.

I meant to say "planned breaks." oops.

[quote name='Era Might' date='Sep 20 2005, 05:21 PM']Is it gonna be an actual separate blog or hosted on Phatmass?
[right][snapback]731650[/snapback][/right][/quote]
It will be on phatmass.

Since it will be an RSS feed, places like myCatholic.com, Google, MyYahoo, etc will be able to allow their users to display the headlines on their homepages as well.

No disrespect intended, but is this really one of the more relevant and pressing issues to discuss in a Catholic forum, or is this some kind of in-joke?

(Sounds more like a topic for a heath and fitness mag)

[Sojourner]

When would you want us to start submitting stuff? And could I post using my real name?

I've already got two ideas for posts.

[curtins]

I'll do it.

Are you suggesting that exercise, the science of bodies at motion, isn't a matter relevant to Catholic theology? Did you not study Theology of the Body? Are you some sort of dualist?!

Yeah. Like it says in 1 Corinthians:

[quote]19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.[/quote]

Exercise is a form of honoring God with your body.

[Era Might]

Hey Raphael how much do you bench?

Just curious. :

Exactly. Plus, it's nice to exercise...it makes your spouse happy...being physically fit, that is.

I don't. I don't have a spotter...wouldn't be wise to bench. I'm working on it, though.

However, in all actuality, my legs are shockingly strong. I maxed out the squat machine at 365 lbs.

Agreed. And it makes you happy. Exercise increases your endorphins, which allows you to be happier and more loving to everyone in your life.

Exercise. It does a body good.

All posts will be with people's real names for legitimacy reasons. You may choose to keep your identity seperate from your phorum identity if you want. That's your call.

I won't have the resources to screen or proof every post, so it's important that anyone who is allowed to write have the ability to check themselves for accuracy and orthodoxy. Those who don't live up to the standards will simply be executed.

ouch.... is there a firing squad?

[philothea]

Well, it looks like you have enough volunteers, but I'd be happy to take part if there's a slot.

That would be my preference. That's how they do it in Utah.

Fun.

Regardless, I'd be more than willing to write. I'm certain that I can be orthodox.
