Exercising is certainly an important part of getting fit and healthy but it isn't all there is. Real fitness is more than just going for a run or lifting weights once in a while. To truly be fit you need to make good choices in all areas of your life. As you age, leading a healthy life and being fit will become more important than ever. How many times, over the last months and years, have you thought "I really need to get healthier" to yourself?
Thankfully there are things you can do right now to increase your fitness and health. Here are some hints to help you become healthier and physically fit.
Before you start doing any sort of regular fitness routine (running, lifting weights, etc), you should see your doctor. A health care professional's opinion and assessment is vital to making sure that you approach your new fitness routine correctly. Your doctor will help you identify the areas of your lifestyle that need the most work. Your doctor will also help you develop an exercise routine that fits your health history as well as your current lifestyle. You should never try to do everything by yourself...something that is doubly true if you haven't ever had a regular workout plan before. Getting your doctor's opinion on your starting point will help you decide exactly where you want to go and the way in which you will get there.
Remember that muscle weighs more than fat. You need to remember this fact especially if your primary goal is weight loss.
If you work out regularly and eat a balanced and healthy diet it is entirely possible that you will lose inches off of your waistline but not lose any of your weight. This is because muscles get bulkier as they get stronger and fat cells shrink the more you work out. Watch your measurements closely as you work out and increase your fitness. You may find that the numbers on the scale don't go down much but the numbers on the tags of your clothing do. Keeping this in front of your mind will help ward off disappointment about your lack of weight loss as you work on getting in shape.
Get together with your friends and get fit. Even if everyone in your group shares your level of inexperience, you can keep each other in check as you all work to be fitter. It is a lot more fun to get fit with a group of friends than it is to try to get fit all by yourself. Having people who will jump all over you if you slack off can really help you. Having someone to keep you focused and on track is very important. Following a fitness routine with your friends is a lot easier than only ever working out alone. Fitness is a goal for just about everybody. We all wish we were stronger or had more endurance. Everyone wishes they were healthier. The problem is that not very many of us know how to make the changes we need to accomplish this. Don't get intimidated. Everyone has to start somewhere! There are people throughout the world who feel the same things you feel right now. The most important thing is that now you know what you want to do. You just have to get up and do it!
