The physical activity is helpful - fitness clubs, sports - at least help us to move.
Improve blood circulation and co-ordination. But do not help us to come into contact with ourselves, because their motive is outside in relation with the self- experience.
It set us in the position of moving our body in definite purpose, instead of becoming aware of ourselves.
You can play golf or tennis until you will be the expert, but I do not believe, that as a result of it, your habitual attitude will a little bit change.
