burden of labor is thrown upon the liver, lungs, kidneys, etc., and these
internal organs are compelled to do the work of the skin.—

601. The blood is not enabled to expel the impurities as it would
if active circulation were induced by exercise.—
Testimonies for the
Church 2:529
.
602. In some cases, want of exercise causes the muscles of the
bowels to become enfeebled and shrunken, and these organs that have
become enfeebled for want of use will be strengthened by exercise.—
Testimonies for the Church 3:78
.
603. Moderate exercise every day will impart strength to the
muscles, which without exercise become flabby and enfeebled.—
Testimonies for the Church 2:533
.
604. If invalids would recover health, they should not discontinue
physical exercise; for they will thus increase muscular weakness and
general debility. Bind up the arm, and permit it to remain useless, even
for a few weeks, then free it from its bondage, and you will discover
that it is weaker than the one you had been using moderately during
the same time. Inactivity produces the same effect upon the whole
muscular system.—
