Fitness is usually full of misconceived ideas. To help pull apart some of those misgivings here are some definitions:
Health: a state of complete well-being, and not just the absence of dis-ease or infirmity.
Physical Activity: Bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles; requires expenditure of energy and produces progressive health benefits.
Physical Fitness: the ability to meet the ordinary as well as the unusual demands of daily life safely and effectively with-out being overly fatigued, and still have energy left for leisure and recreational activities.
Health-Related Fitness: fitness programs that are prescribed to improve the individuals overall health; components include cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength and endurance,flexibility and body com-position.
Functional Fitness: exercises that train your body for daily tasks. Functional fitness tends to emphasize core stability
Skill– Related Fitness: Fitness components important for success in activities and athletic events requiring high skill levels; encompasses agility, balance, coordination, pow-er, reaction time and speed.
As you can see the fitness spectrum varies greatly. It covers everything from the barely active to the athletic individual.Most of the clients I see are the ones who fall into the functional fitness or health-related fitness categories. People who are looking to better their lives.
The problem with this large spectrum is that you may not know where to start. That’s where get-ting some help from a trainer, even just a session or two can really set you up for success as the trainer can usually pin-point your needs. Your fitness is directly related to your quality of life, ask for help.
