Recognizing Significance

It is common sense on why physical fitness is essential to our everyday lives. Not only does physical fitness help keep our bodies healthy and fit, but physical fitness also has a lot of other benefits. . With me becoming a personal trainer, it is so important to know all the good effects fitness has on yourself and your clients. I found an article online that shows the importance in different aspects of your life and body. Here are a few:
 
Cardiovascular Endurance: Cardiovascular endurance is nothing but the measurement of your heart's strength. It also implies the ability of the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues and to remove wastes. Physical fitness helps you achieve cardiovascular endurance and helps to increase the oxygen flow to all the body muscles.

Muscular Strength: A balanced and regular fitness regimen helps to increase the ability of muscles to exert force and sustain contraction. In short, to put it simply - a regular workout will make your muscles stronger and thus, increase your overall strength.


Flexibility: A regular workout session will ensure that you move your joints and muscles to their fullest extent and hence, it will increase the flexibility of these joints and your overall body. Flexibility in body movements is achieved only through physical fitness.

Body Composition: One of the indicators of physical fitness is a balanced and healthy body composition. Minimum of fat and maximum of lean mass is a sign of a healthy and fit body. The lean mass includes muscles, bones, vital tissues and organs.

Healthy Mind: A healthy mind dwells in a healthy body. Any exercise included in your fitness regimen, will lead to the production of endorphins in the body. Endorphins are chemicals that make you feel happy and hence a healthy, physically fit body is always accompanied by a healthy mind.

Drive-away Illness: Yes, it is true. Moderated and balanced workout in a fitness regimen helps to boost the immune system of the body. Fully functional and strong body immunity means that your body develops the strength to ward off diseases and infections
 
Overall, becoming a personal trainer would not only help people feel better about their bodies and physical apperance, but I would be helping them in so many more ways then I ever thought. Eating healthy, exercising, and having a good attitude is the simple way to living a long, great life.

  1. Physical Fitness has always been with me since I was very young. When I was younger I always played sports such as football, basketball, baseball/kickball, dodgeball etc. with my friends and neighbors. But when i turned 16, my dad wanted me to lift weights, and so I did. Ever since then I have always been active and weight lifting to become fit and healthy.
