A Place Called Fitness, How Do You Get There

The word fitness can mean so many things to so many different people.

The very idea of being fit is appealing to most everyone. It can evoke deep feelings associated with personal accomplishment and self worth. For most people it can become a life long challenge, an elusive quest to feel good and look great.

So how do you begin on the road to fitness?

I think the best description of fitness would be to refer to the overall state of your health. I really don’t think it has to do with a persons specific size or body weight. After all, we are unique individuals. Have you ever heard the term “skinny fat people” This term applies to the many thin people who do not have an ounce of body strength, lean muscle, and probably have high cholesterol numbers and arteries clogged with dangerous plaque.

If you were to ask me for direction to a place called fitness, I would probably reply. It’s not far, just a stones throw away from good eating habits. Take a turn at good nutrition and daily exercise and then it’s straight ahead to a life long commitment to good health and personal happiness.
