Physical Fitness – Aerobics, Exercise, Weight Loss
You may ask yourself the questions:
Why should I be fit and if I am over weight then why should I lose weight? There
are many good reasons for you to be physically fit. For example, if you are fit
then you can work harder and enjoy more because a physically fit person does not
tire as easily as an unfit person. A physically fit person has strong muscles and
a healthy heart which allows him to tolerate stress (both physical and mental) more
easily and be more alert mentally.

To be physically fit you must have a body weight
appropriate for your height and build. The objective of weight control is to reduce
the amount of body fat and increase muscle.
When you exercise, the strength and
endurance of the particular group of muscles that you exercise will increase, the
other body muscles are not affected. Therefore your exercise program should include
an appropriate set of exercises that affect all the muscles that you want to strengthen.
Remember to always slowly warm up before starting any vigorous exercise. Warm up
time should be longer and is more important as you grow older.
Rest, relaxation,
and the type of food that you eat are equally important for remaining physically
fit.
Not that by increasing your fitness level you increases the efficiency of your
body. In normal circumstances you function well under your peak fitness level. But
for the same kind of activity a person with a higher fitness level will consume
lesser energy. Therefore a physically fit person is left with greater energy resources
and can enjoy a larger number of activities when compared to an unfit person.
