You have taken the important first step on the path to physical fitness by seeking information. The next step is to decide that you are going to be physically fit. This website is designed to help you reach that decision and your goal.

The decision to carry out a physical fitness program cannot be taken lightly. It requires a lifelong commitment of time and effort. Exercise must become one of those things that you do without question, like bathing and brushing your teeth. Unless you are convinced of the benefits of fitness and the risks of unfitness, you will not succeed.

 
This involves gradually increasing your heart rate, body temperature and breathing rate. A good indication that your body is warm is that you’ll begin to feel warm and may even break a sweat. To best achieve these responses, gradually increase the intensity of how hard you’re exercising but keep it light to moderate. For example, if walking, take bigger steps, gradually walk faster or even swing your arms more.
 

How often, how long and how hard you exercise, and what kinds of exercises you do should be determined by what you are trying to accomplish. Your goals, your present fitness level, age, health, skills, interest and convenience are among the factors you should consider. For example, an athlete training for high-level competition would follow a different program than a person whose goals are good health and the ability to meet work and recreational needs.
