Eckhart Tolle explains that your body only grows stronger when you deliberately challenge it, like lifting weights. The challenge creates a demand for energy, your body adapts, and over time the effort becomes enjoyable.
If you want to strengthen your body, you have to make life difficult for your body for a while. For example, you're lifting weights. Ah! I can't do it, Eckhart Tolle, put it down. No, the body doesn't want to do it, but you're creating a huge challenge for the body. As the body meets the challenge, there is a demand for more energy because there is a need for more energy. If there's no need, there's no demand, and the energy doesn't come. And after a while, the energy comes, the body gets stronger, and then you actually begin to enjoy the act— physical activity.
