Recognizing our embodiment helps our understanding of wellbeing through the concept of being in the zone, or the flow state. This is key for forming our wellbeing values, necessary for establishing the connection of movement to cultivating our minds and bodies to the best of our abilities. The explanation of sensations can be further developed when pleasure is added to show how movement can be thought of as a type of sensation, which relates to the concept of how exercise fits into the model of the mind and body connection and our embodied states.

You should care how you look. The majority of people who workout do it to maintain or improve their health and are concerned with their appearance on some level (whether to get rid of a beer gut or work towards abs of steel). While you work on your appearance (which can’t happen overnight) you should look good doing it. If your clothes are cute, then that can help motivate you to want to put them on and use them!
