How do you define fitness?
It’s a good question, I think.
Generally speaking, here’s a good working definition.
Fitness is your ability to do whatever you ask your body to do.
Can you run a mile without spending the next 2 days recovering from your run?
Do you have sufficient flexibility?
Can you lift a 10 lb. dumbbell and do a circuit routine of upper body exercises?
Can you jump rope for 10 minutes or more?
Can you ride a stationary bike for 15 minutes and maintain 90-120 rpm?
If you can answer YES to these, then you are fit.
I hope you get my point.
Fitness consists of many different elements.
You may be exercising regularly but not be very fit.
It is essential to exercise properly, efficiently, and effectively so that you attain a sufficient level of fitness.
Can you motivate yourself to make exercise and getting and staying fit a good health habit?
If you can, then you are on the road to fitness.
That’s great. Congratulations!
If you have been exercising but are not on the road to fitness (as I’ve explained it here), then get started. It’s never too late.
All around fitness is a key to optimizing both your health and longevity: two things I’m betting you’re interested in.
