Just so happens I started following a fitness youtuber this week, that appears to be a "Born again Christian". Seemingly unrelated pursuits. Yet having watched a few of his videos, he's made some astute observations ... ideas he's taken from being a Christian and integrated them into his fitness journey. Things like the idea of Logos, and the "power of words" and their translation into direct action. The importance of Love, etc. I mean there's some powerful core ideas in Christianity. Many religious ideas have been refined over thousands of years. It's basically wisdom on how to work on your mental state, and how to orientate and integrate yourself into a social hierarchy. How to delay gratification, and restrict and reflect on your actions.
Makes his videos more interesting, and cohesive, since there's at least some philosophy behind it, and it's more than just trying to look good.
