His vision on health and wellbeing
gives context to his exercises.
"By doing the exercises 4 times a week
for 3 months ,
the development of your body approaches the ideal,
accompanied by renewed mental vigor and
spiritual improvement. "
"Physical fitness is the
first requirement to achieve happiness,
is the maintenance of
a uniformly developed body
with a solid mind, fully capable of performing naturally, easily and satisfactorily our many and varied tasks with pleasure and fun. "
"We must constantly strive to have strong and healthy bodies, and develop our minds to the limit of our capacity."
"that purifying mechanism like ´the internal shower´ that produces an invigoration and a physical and mental rejuvenation."
