Question

Dear Rabbi, I think you missed the first part of the question. Is it permissable to exercise on Shabbat if it is NOT enjoyable.? For example, weight control, which almost sounds like a medical procedure. Thank you

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

No, unless it is a serious health risk, like obesity, which should be discussed with a Rabbi. AA
