Can this exercise be a sin?

[Angel7]

i heard of an easy exercise of African origin. you jump up and down (not to much) and shake your hands around just a little.

they say it matches the pulse of earth’s electric magnet thing.
so it brings a lot of oxygen to your cells.
giving you more energy.

jumping up and down isn’t a sin.
but does this exercise originate from something sinful?
like the practice of a pagan religion?

i’m probably being scrupulous.

No, it’s not a sin.

Though I don’t know if I believe that just because you’re jumping up and down and shaking your hands you will get more energy. Seems like a scam exercise to me. That’s just my opinion.

Tell me if it does work though!

Hey, It’s sure to get your heart moving! Get to jumping!!

Hey, the sisters used to have us do this in the class room once or twice a day. Its got nothing to do with any magnetic field, but much to do with getting oxygenated and getting ones blood circulating. That was 65 years ago and I still do it when I feel my body stiffening up.

So it does work!

By the sounds of it works, but due to none of the reasons expressed!

In scientific terms the only thing movement of one object within a magnetic field will achieve is the possible induction of an electric current.

I seriously doubt that relative to the strength of the earth’s magnetic field, our comparatively diminutive size compared to it and the minuscule amount of movement that would actually happen, the magnetic effects would be negligible to non-existent on your oxygen assimilation or absorption. Others are right to say that it’s just simple exercise that invigorates you, by expending stored energy, increasing your heart rate and making you breath faster which will result in a more oxygenated blood supply to your brain (as a consequence of the blood going everywhere in your body, not just to your depleted muscles) and therefore making you feel more alert.

There’s no sin in the actions. The story is almost certainly wrong scientifically, but being hoodwinked isn’t a sin either, although telling others what you know to be fallacious probably is.
