No matter to which age group you belong to b it the teen age or the

20’s or 30’s it is a must to love and take care of your body.

To get and maintain a healthy body you ought to connect yourself to a

routine with regular exercise schedule. If your body has the capability to do

everything and enjoy doing leisure activities as well, then you are physically

fit. Also, for a fit body it is easy to take on the stress and do some work

even in times that are adverse.

Physical fitness is all about god health of heart, muscles, lungs and all the

body parts. The fitness of the body is based on the restrictions that are put

on the body physically and what all one is able to do in a certain lifestyle,

like what you eat and what are your habits.

Here is a little history about the components used in physical fitness. With a

fit body one can survive longer as the body has more capacity to keep and

maintain the required levels of oxygen and all the nutrients that are

essential for the perfect functioning of the body.

If the body is flexible one can do a lot of varied activities and move the body

in various styles and also move the joints. Stamina can be increased with

exercises like jogging, swimming and running whereas if one does the

push-ups and lift weights the muscles can be made stronger.

The workout must be planned in such a manner that all these components

are included. One of the most essential things for every workout is to begin

with warm up exercises. When the body is warmed it actually puts the

muscles to such a condition where they can hold the stress of rigorous

exercises. And after the exercises a few exercises must be such which make

the body cool again. Never do too much of exercises.

It is good to go for walk daily. But if you do the push-ups on regular basis it

may have adverse effects on the body. The schedule for physical activities

must plan in a manner where the body becomes prepared for all the kinds of

activities. Body must be competent to do simple as well as rigorous

exercises. The exercises must be cardiovascular as well as strength based.

To start with one can plan a schedule where he/she exercises twice or thrice

a week.

As the time passes one can increase the duration and frequency.

Along with the exercises one must also take care of the diet one takes. For

those who are exercising to shed the excess weight then take a diet which

has calorie less food and one that gives more strength to the body. On an

average 240 to 400 calories are burnt when one does cycling and 740 to 800

calories are burnt in jogging.

One must avoid taking excess salts and sweets in the food. Alcohol, caffeine

and nicotine must be strictly kept away. Drink a lot of water and try not to

take too much of saturated fats in your diet.

Chapter 1: How to Achieve ‘Anytime Fitness’

Everyone is running at a high speed in the present time and this

requires one to stay fit. What is exactly meant by fitness?

It is the caliber of an individual to adjust himself to the changes and to

handle the pressures along with the conditions that keep changing. All those

who are fit, will have a peaceful mind and healthy body in all the situations.

Physical fitness includes mental a well as body fitness.

On the other hand, we can say that fitness in another name given to health.

The pressures of the present life can be handled successfully only by those

who have a good health and in other words to succeed today one needs to

remain fit. Both the things are related to each other. Those who are fit are

taken as vigorous and their level o0f vigor rises at every point.

The evolution theory too states that those who are physically and mentally

fit are the only ones who can survive and also let their genes be passed on.

Therefore, we can say that fitness is synonym to health; it is also about

adapting to the surroundings and the changing environment. For this one

needs to go for the regular exercising schedule too, in order to suit himself

and endure in the ever-changing environment.

There are many people who do not take care of the fitness and do not

consider it of much importance. This is sheer because they do not know the

profits of fitness. There are a lot of pleasures that are given by life to every

individual but they can be enjoyed only if they one is fit.

Is it possible to remain fit at all times? Yes, if one looks positively to all the

things in life then life can be developed to give it a brighter look. One must

not worry of the illness or if you are forced to walk a little of a mile or to

take upstairs in place of lift.

It must be taken as an idea to stay fit if you are forced to do some physical

work. This is a strong base for fitness. This would make you free and your

mind too, peaceful. Along with this your confidence level too would rise as

then you would be ready to take anything as it comes your way.

The training for fitness is nothing but making the muscles work in a manner

that your body is made fit. In turn, one gets fitness with regard to aerobics

and muscles, which enhances steadiness and elasticity of the human body.

But before you take up any schedule for physical fitness training you must

check your own physical capacity. This can be checked with your doctor.

One must exercise regularly for 30 to 40 minutes and the exercises may

include running, swimming, cycling or dancing etc. these are all different

kinds of aerobics.

For the best results the attention must be focused on the muscular fitness.
