Embarked on a transformative fitness journey, sculpting my body and mind through dedication, sweat, and perseverance. Progress, strength, and vitality achieved.

1. Movement is
health:
What is "fitness"
and how can it be
improved?
Most people are familiar with many
of the benefits of exercise,
including improving muscle
strength and endurance, reducing
the risk of heart disease and
stroke, and preventing obesity.

2. Perhaps the importance of regular
physical activity is understood, but
the concept of "fitness" is certainly
not. While doctors encourage
patients to improve their physical
condition, little research has been
conducted on the importance of
being in good physical condition.
Physical activity – Exercise –
Physical Condition
What is physical activity and
how is it different from physical
exercise?
Physical activity is, quite simply,
any movement that involves the
muscles and consumes energy.
This includes daily activities such
as climbing stairs, walking to work,
cleaning the yard, walking the dog
or playing with the children.

3. Exercise is physical activity with the
difference that it is planned,
structured and repetitive. Examples
of physical exercise are cycling,
swimming, using the elliptical, brisk
walking and running.

What is "physical
condition" and how does
it equate to physical
exercise?

4. By the term "physical state"
we refer to how developed
we are in five faculties.
These are:
· cardiovascular endurance,
· muscle strength,
· muscular endurance,
· flexibility

5. · and body flexibility
Fitness is essentially the
goal of physical exercise. It
means improving the health
and efficiency of various
body systems and includes:
· the strengthening of
muscles and bones
· healthy joints
· the improvement of
endurance, through the
better functioning of the
heart and lungs

6. So what do we mean by
"good physical
condition"?
As mentioned above,
physical activity and fitness
have huge health benefits.
Good physical condition can
even be considered
necessary for a person's
-respectively- good health.
This includes everything
from overall well-being (and
psychology) to physical
condition.
If we wanted to give a very
simple and clear definition to
good physical condition, we

7. would characterize it as a
state of physical well-being,
in which the person is able
to perform daily activities
without problems.
The more the body is
exercised, the healthier the
body's systems remain.
Daily activities become
easier and, instead of tiring,
offer rejuvenation.
What exercises help to
maintain good physical
condition
A program that incorporates
cardiovascular exercise,
weight training and flexibility
is an important step towards

8. good health, especially as
the years go by.
Exercises that help
maintain good physical
condition are:
· Cardiovascular exercises,
such as walking, climbing
stairs, cycling and
swimming. Such exercises
strengthen the health of the
heart and lungs, and thus
increase endurance and
promote blood flow to the
muscles.
· Resistance exercises, such
as weight training and
resistance training, build

9. muscle mass, promote bone
growth and provide joint
stability. Daily, "random"
movements performed
safely, such as quick
side-to-side movements
while walking, in turn
promote bone health.
· Stretching plays a big role
in developing flexibility as it
promotes blood flow to the
muscles and reduces the
risk of injury. Activities such
as yoga and pilates help
with flexibility, enhance
balance and improve
posture.

10. How to stay motivated to
exercise
To start an exercise routine and
stick with it, set small, achievable
goals first and break your workouts
into shorter periods. Remember
that it can take weeks to make
exercise a habit, so try to stick to a
schedule.
Here are some other ways you can
fit physical activity into your day:
· Start your day with 10 minutes of
stretching. Yoga stretches in
particular will give you a much
better start to your day.

11. · If you are traveling by public
transport, get off one or two stops
earlier and walk the rest of the way
to your destination.
· Whenever possible, use the stairs
instead of the elevator.
· Park further away from your
destination to 'earn' a few extra
steps.
· Do not sit still for hours in front of
the TV and computer. Get up and
change your body position, doing
small stretches.
Remember that the key to
motivation and success is balance.
Be gentle with yourself, as the goal
is completely pain-free movement.

12. Listen to your body and stop the
activity if you are in pain. Once you
feel better you can continue.
Choose activities that you enjoy
and especially those that allow you
to spend time with your friends and
family, such as simple walks.
After all, think about it, every step
you take is a step towards better
well-being and good health.
