Part 1: Fitness And Where You Stand Right Now
--------------------------------------------------
Fitness is a term that is used to help define the ability to stay in the best physical shape. You may ask, then, ìWhat am I staying in shape for?î To each person, this will be something different.
For most, it is a matter of staying healthy as long as possible. You see, your body is designed to work as a machine. When each part of the machine is cared for, the entire machine works the best that it can. When the machine is neglected either in part or in the whole, then the machine wonít run well and eventually wonít run at all.
If a car, for example, is well maintained for many years, it will last many years longer. If it isnít taken care of, for example you donít change the oil in it, you cut several years off the life of the car. Thatís costly to you, but when you look at this as your body, you are shaving away days, weeks, and even years off of your life when you donít take care of your machine (your body.)
Fitness is a necessary part of life. Before we get on the soap box, remember that fitness is something that you can get into the habit of doing which makes it easy.
Fitness is not something that you have to struggle with. When you were three you were probably taught to brush your teeth. You learned to put your clothes on. When you were learning how to do them, you likely hated it. But, once you learned how to do it, it became something that you didnít think twice about. Do you worry about brushing your teeth today? No, because itís a habit. Thatís what we want you to think of when you think of fitness.
Itís just something that you do. Granted, the first weeks of learning to be fit and staying healthy will be the hardest. Youíll dread it. Youíll find excuses about not doing it. Youíll claim that getting fit is just too hard. You just canít give up what you love. Thatís not true.
In fact, if you have the will power to save your life by sacrificing for just a few weeks, youíll see that fitness can be easily mastered by you.
Take a look at yourself right now. What do you see? If you are unhappy about any part of your body, chances are good that area of your body is bothering you because itís an unhealthy area.
Although many people start looking into fitness because they want to lose weight, fitness is not just about weight loss. By understanding where you stand on these factors above, you can work to improve your overall wellness and increase your lifespan as well as the quality of life that you are currently living.
If you donít think that you need to lose weight, thatís great! You are one step closer to being healthy. But, thatís not to say that you donít have health problems beyond that level. Many people are still at risk for high blood pressure, high cholesterol as well as other concerns even though they arenít technically overweight. Therefore, you need to take into consideration the fact that overall health is in fact important to improve.
Your weight, your blood pressure and your body mass index are good indications of your overall health.
Yet, it goes further than this, too. You should understand how well your body is working, too. Do you have any physical limitations? If you physically can’t lift things for fear of hurting your back, this could be a potential problem that needs to be considered.
If you have problems with your legs, your neck, your arms or anything else, you should address these specific concerns. The best place to start is to work with your doctor to determine why you aren’t physically fit in those areas. That way, you can improve your overall health and then improve upon your situation by knowing how to.
The foods that you need play a significant role on your health. Foods are the fuel that your body requires to do a good job at the tasks that you ask it. In our machine look at the way that food works, the food that you consume is the fuel that your machine needs.
If you don’t give it quality food, it won’t perform the right way. Have you ever gone to put gas into your car and gotten to a really bad gas station where the fuel wasn’t high quality or even up to standard? It slows your car down. You don’t get the gas mileage that you are used to and you may even need to perform more maintenance on your car than you usually need to do.
In the way of your body, healthy food is just as important. If you consume the wrong foods all of the time, your body will not be able to perform as well as if you gave it the highest quality foods.
Without nutrition, your body can become ill faster and with greater intensity. Your body does not heal as quickly from injury. Your blood pressure rises, your heart rate increases to unhealthy levels. You are more prone to limitations physically as well as mentally.
