Exercise as a Meditation Practice

Exercise can be a form of meditation practice, where the physical movement is done with mindfulness and awareness. The speaker shares an example from their past where they had a class that combined seated meditation with jogging, treating the jogging as a form of walking meditation. They believe that exercise can be associated with the same kind of practices as in Buddhism, such as chopping wood and carrying water. The physical movement of exercise, when done with full presence, can enhance the effectiveness of meditation and help cultivate mindfulness.
