I think it's safe to say we live much more sedentary lives now - sitting at our desks for hours on end, driving rather than walking, eating all sorts of not-so-healthy things.

There is nothing wrong with women (and men) taking part in sports, using facilities that are reserved for them. It may not have been a practice at the time of our Beloved (PBUH) but it shouldn't be suggested that it is wrong to do.

On the contrary, I think women and men should be encouraged to be more active. Also, not everything revolves around a gym however, it is easier to build in 'gym time' into a schedule. Walking, biking, jogging, gardening, hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, kayaking, canoeing, climbing... there are many activities that can be done in groups or alone or with couples (husband/wife).

A healthy, fit, ummah.
