I started to answer Technodivitas's exercise question, but then realised my answer was wandering off on a tangent. So I thought I'd start a new thread.
PYL's: Do you give your pyl direction in other ways if they don't need the discipline of exercise? I think discipline and training of some sort is important, but physical exercise as a discipline is pointless for someone like me. I'm not talking all of the "1001 slave positions of Gor" here or "how to give a bj in 10 easy lessons"; I'm talking brainwork.
For example, I'm an athlete. I have two scholarships; one academic and one athletic. I'm on the soccer field 3-5 days a week. I also hit the gym around 4 days a week. I run. I do karate. I'm fairly brainy; I have a 3.8 gpa. But I'm a girl jock. Usually; I'd rather play soccer or go dancing or do something physical rather than hang out. So a Dom/me giving me an assignment that requires exercise is not going to make an impression.
Now, some sort of mental discipline is a whole nother story! I know a sub who's taking golf lessons because her Dom is a golfer. A PYL I met in chat the other day insisted that her pets learn a bit of Japanese history and language, since she's Japanese! How many PYL's here use mental training of some sort in addition to, or in place of physical training? If you do indulge in mental training, what are some of the things you assign? Do you have a pyl study things that you, yourself are interested in? Or do you have them go learn about something you have a passing interest in, so they can get more information to pass on to you?
Again using my example of myself earlier, I said that more physical training is not going to make an impression on me. But if the PYL gave me an assignment that uses my brain, that would. The thought of someone guiding my mental processes is more intriguing than some guiding my physical prowess. I guess what I'm saying is that a mental challenge is more fun for me than a physical one. Are there any PYL's out there who are more intrigued by a pyl's mental stuff than their physical stuff?
