Focus & Customize Your Fitness Plan
Fitness is a way of thinking and being. Fitness is physical and mental too: a healthy body leads to a healthy mind. The good habits developed in improving your physique and strength and stamina often pay off in a sense of well-being and a cleaner, healthier view of your place in this challenging world. To realize the best possible fitness program for you, listen to your body. This means paying attention to its moods and rhythms. It translates to limbering up your body regularly through a routine of stretching and basic aerobics.
Regular, daily walking is an often overlooked tool in establishing a foundation for fitness. Its benefits have been praised for good reason. The oldest kinetic human activity is naturally good for us while avoiding stressing joints and muscles. A solid, crisp-paced 35-40 minute daily walk maintains an aerobic baseline, helps circulation and boots energy and mood. Different people have different bodies, different histories of physical activity and varying levels of confidence in the physical realm. A fitness program designed for a 37 year old man with a background in competitive sports shares limited attributes with one geared to an 80 year old woman who wants to battle osteoporosis. Though her effort is just as valid as his, the mechanics of achievement will be different.
Fitness might be taken for devotion. If the body is a temple, then fitness programs might be forms of worship. True fitness is based on a sympathetic attitude towards the body. Body and mind, mind and body. They are meant to work together. Even if the mind is the body’s master in some ways, don’t turn this into tyranny. Many of our neuroses stem from a too-powerful brain that turns into something like an opponent.
