Physical Fitness is for developing good health and a better lifestyle. The importance of physical fitness has two meaning such as general fitness (health and well-being) and specific fitness (sport related activity or occupation). Everyone can benefit from being physically fit. I’ll be here to show you step by step to start changing your life and start feeling healthier about yourself.
By 2020, the center for disease control and prevention estimated 3/4 of Americans will be overweight or obese. Also, diabetes will increase by half and many other potential diseases. Therefore, I created this website to help anyone who wants to have a better lifestyle.

Physical Fitness for Beginners
When you see a new person walking in the gym, what do they do? Most of them will use any machine that is available. I know this because I was one of them. When walking in the gym and working out without a routine plan can and will crush any dreams that you have set up for yourself. I have experienced this and had to adjust many things and made many mistakes but do not get agitated.
Fitness is a lifestyle, not a one-time thing. To begin the process, first, change any ideas like becoming a model or becoming a bodybuilder for a while. That is because you need to focus the end goal. First, the goal is to be physically fit and then you can choose a long-term goal like bodybuilder, powerlifter, or fitness model.
To start, begin with these workouts
- Stretch (for at least 5-10 minutes)
- pushups (as much as you can in one minute)
- pull ups (as much as you can in one minute)
- squats (heavy weight, 3 sets 2-5 reps)
- bench press (heavy weight, 3 sets 2-5 reps)
- 2-mile run (16 minutes max)
This will improve your muscle endurance, muscle strength, and cardiovascular. These are the key components that will help you tremendously to feel better and be stronger over time, in that order of course, if you considered doing this in your routine. Also, track your results. Buy a notebook if you have to and track your results.
Eating HealthyÂ
What many people will agree that to be physically fit and healthy will be the food that you eat. You must make sure you are eating healthy so no junk food or processed food in general for a while. Keep your meals clean as possible.
Best food to eat:
- Oats/Whole grains
- Lean Meat
- Vegetables (mostly greens)
- Good fats (nuts, almonds, organic peanuts)
This type of food will give you sufficient nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, good fat, complex carbs, and lean protein. The only difference is if you want to gain weight, you’ll have to eat more calories than those who want to lose weight. It does not matter if you eat healthily or not. I’ll be more specific later on in this blog.
Kids And the Importance of Physical Fitness
Kids and the importance of physical fitness are critical in our modern time. The increase of overweight or obese is rising and it will not only affect the adults but also our kids. I’ve seen many children trapped indoors watching television or playing video games. The concept of physical fitness will not change even with the kids.
The best way to improve Endurance for kids:
- Bicycling
- Running
- Jogging
- Walking
- Swimming
- Jump rope
- Martial Arts
- sport related activities (soccer, basketball, football)
The children will have many benefits such as increasing energy, prevent disease, and improve the academic curriculum.
The best way to improve strength and endurance:
- Push-ups
- Pull-ups
They’re limited but they must know how to lift their own body weight. Also, it will help to develop strength. Measure their muscle endurance by doing as much repetition as possible in one minute.
Nowadays, kids are not spending enough time to be active. If this continues then we will have an increase in overweight or obese children, which could include diseases like diabetes. Put your children in a school activity and limit their hours of watching television or video games. To begin, they must keep moving and develop muscle strength and muscle endurance. Also, don’t forget to stretch like any other athletes before starting.
Conclusion
The importance of physical fitness has been proven to benefit your health and your physical abilities. I’ve been showing you how crucial physical activity and eating healthy but, in this blog, I will show you how you can implement it. This is my own experience and proven research if you are trying to gain weight, lose weight, improving strength, and so forth.
