How can you ever win the battle of the mind?

It's impossible to conquer your mind without conquering your body. You cannot have a strong mind in a weak body.

Even the Buddha had to learn to conquer hunger and control his bodily desires before he could sit under a tree and meditate for seven weeks straight and attain enlightenment.

While we won’t be learning to conquer hunger or meditate for weeks at a time, we will try to make our body stronger and more flexible by giving it 1 to 1.5 hours of exercise, every single day.
I won't be going into the "benefits of exercise" bit, because you're already aware of how vital exercise is to both your body and mind and I don’t want to lengthen this blog with redundant information.

primarily for two reasons that you're probably not aware of: 
1. When you exercise, your body releases a lot of dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins (the release of these chemicals is what makes you "feel good").

When you cut out a lot of pleasure-giving activities from your life (such as porn and TV), your body will start to crave the release of these chemicals.

Exercise will help you manage those cravings by acting as a proxy activity for the release of these “fun” chemicals in your brain.

2. Exercise improves your ability to control your emotions by enhancing the connection your mind has with your physicality.
You will be able to control your blood flow at will and you will learn to manage your heart rate – both of which are essential to emotional control.

Further, as your hormones start getting in balance, you will find it much easier to control random outbursts of emotions – you will become much a much calmer person as a result.

As a bonus, exercise will give you an outlet to release any frustration and extra, unused energy that you will have because you’re holding off on masturbation.

You’ll know the real power of sexual transmutation when you start to feel overwhelming amounts of energy.

If you already have an established strength training routine, you don’t need to do this separate exercise routine. Just make sure your training is rigorous enough and that you get some cardio too.

If you don't already have a strength training routine, we're going to incorporate 60 to 90 minutes of bodyweight exercises into our daily routine.

(Note that strength training means lifting weights. If most of your workout involves aerobic exercise such as jogging, you will want to incorporate these bodyweight exercises too, because exercise is not just about burning calories, it’s also about gaining lean muscle mass. Lean muscle is the holy grail of health and physicality.)

Here is your exercise routine for the next 60 days:

1. 60 Jumping Jacks to warm up
2. Stretch your body
3. 60 Squats
4. 60 Push Ups
5. 60 Sit Ups
6. 60 Calf Raises
7. 3 1-Minute Planks

If you do not know how these exercises are done, Google them. Note that this is by no means an easy workout. If you find it too challenging (and if you aren't already exercising - you probably will) - take as much time as you need to rest in between the workout. You don't have to it all at once. Break it up into as many sets as you like.
On the other hand, if you find it easy, increase the repetition count to 100 instead of 60.
Side-note: If you're morbidly obese, don't do these exercises. Not only will you not be able to them correctly, but you'll also hurt your joints because of the weight. I recommend taking up activities such as swimming and jogging until you are regular obese (as opposed to morbidly obese).
