โAnyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-comeโ (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)
Question:
May one work out/exercise on Shabbat?
Answer:
Strictly speaking, one who exercises, such as doing crunches or pushups etc.., and does so for pleasure, and not in order to break a sweat, is permitted to do so on Shabbat or Yom Tov [1]. However, there are many poskim including Maran Ztzl who write that one should not do so, since it is not in the spirit of Shabbat [2].
Even according to the more lenient opinions, a person may not lift weights on Shabbat, or run in a way that one is trying to break a sweat. [3] Running would be permitted only if one derives pleasure from doing so, but not in order to sweat. [4]
Based On R' Yonatan Nacson's Laws Of Shabbat With Some Additions.
