What does it mean to feel fit and healthy?
For me, it means freedom – freedom to do whatever I want and my body will allow me to do. If I want to do a fun run, go on a hike, go shopping for clothes that fit and look good, carry heavier items, I know I have the strength and energy to do it, without barriers or excuses. It makes my everyday life easier.
Having good health is something we take for granted, but its something we should all work hard to achieve.
Health and fitness is determined by what we eat, how we live our lives, our choice of leisure pursuits and what we do to keep ourselves physically fit. We all need a certain amount of the right type of exercise to keep us healthy, regardless of our lifestyle, age or physical ability.
Remaining physically fit is important for these reasons:
- It will give you a feeling of better health through increased energy and vitality, making you feel better about yourself and about your life.
- it helps the activities in your life easier to manage; it keeps your body in shape and keeps you looking good, which in turn provides ‘the feel good factor’ making you work more efficiently and effectively.
- Keeping fit can help improve your quality of life and help maintain a good standard of health, preventing or delaying heart related diseases.
- Exercise helps reduce stress & improves personal performance.
- Exercise helps you control your weight and body shape.
- Team sports can improve your social life.
