I remember watching this episode of Amr Khaled's, and the whole neighborhood weekly would go down and walk a few kilos.
The idea was not just to be fit, but to have will power and the belief that "if I want to do something, then I really CAN do it" , and so it was just to break the virtual boundaries we have between our hopes and reality, and to gain confidence that anything is possible to achieve AS LONG as we work hard for it and strive for it.
He made excellent very effective projects to improve one's self, and it affected many many people, including myself.
