German term or phrase: Ich bewege mein Luxuskörper
An expression: Ich bewege mein Luxuskörper. What does this mean figuratively? Have asked native German speakers but they have never heard of it. Have seen it on google in texts but no explanation.

Thank you.

Swedish translation:Min dyrbara kropp rör sig...
Explanation:
I think the sense is double here: he/she has spent a lot of money and effort on his/her body (bodybuilding) and since Schwarzenegger would appreciate it, he/she should be proud of it even though it has certain drawbacks (clumsiness).
"Dyrbar" has this double sense.

Reference: Ich bin ein Optimist

Reference information:
Can I assume that you found it in this context? At first I thought it was a sarcastic comment, talking about his/her "beautiful body" when in fact s/he seems down about it, but maybe it does mean just that, and not meant figuratively at all?

Example sentence(s):
  • Schließlich bewege ich meinen Luxuskörper in Richtung Küche. Das jahrelange Bodybuilding hat sich ausgezahlt. Mehr breit als hoch stoße ich zwar überall an, aber Schwarzenegger, Gott habe ihn selig, wäre trotzdem stolz auf mich gewesen.
