Exercise on the Sabbath
Question
I really feel a great sense of satisfaction from physical exercise and from the feeling of meeting a goal. Am I allowed to do that on the Sabbath? During the exercise I suffer and enjoy every moment at the same time (not just at the end of the workout).
Sabbath shalom
Answer
It seems to me that no. Satisfaction is not enjoyment.
