“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body; it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”

President John f. Kennedy

Many people are smart already and are not in a healthy and strong position. I believe that everyone is smart but many people don’t try hard enough to try to reach that intelligence. I also believe that just because a person is not in a really healthy position that it does not means that that person is not going to have  that intelligence. it doesn't not matter their physical way of looking.
