Physical Fitness
The concept of physical fitness does not mean
puffing weights and gaining super human strength, but the concept
of physical fitness is based on several different people with a
different motive towards gaining the perfect body. The motive of
physical fitness may differ from person to person. These motives
may be low weight exercise for fat burning purposes or high weight
exercises for high powered muscle building or flexibility gaining
exercises or even accuracy and stamina development for the body.
Understanding the concept!
The concept of physical fitness not only
includes the exercises that we do in the gym but the concept has
much more to it. Yoga exercises, cardio vascular endurance
exercises, power gaining exercises managed in gyms, flexibility
exercises as done in aerobic, dance or ballet classes and speed,
stamina and agility development exercises are all a part of
physical fitness. As I have already discussed, that these
exercises are done for different purposes, the purpose might be
different for you, like maybe for you the motive towards total
physical fitness may be to have humongous muscles like wrestlers
or to have a better lifestyle by the means of yoga or to increase
your stamina in any certain sport that you want to face greater
challenges.
Many people confuse the term physical fitness
with having great muscles and super human power, but this is not
so, your body building or fitness needs may be different from your
next door neighbor. It might be so that you are into physical
fitness to increase your muscles and the weight, whereas, your
friend or colleague might be an over sized and an over weight
person who just wants to lose his excess fats. For both of you the
exercises will differ to a greater extent. You will need to
suffice with advanced and heavy weight power based exercises,
where as your friend or colleague might only need to do some
aerobics and jogging. So for you the term physical fitness means
gaining power and muscle and for your friend this means losing fat
and gaining a healthy life style. These needs differ from person
to person.
Why physical fitness?
Generally the term used for this process is
task oriented or specific fitness. The best example to differ and
judge the differences between various kinds of physical fitness
needs is the difference in the training routines of the military
and sports players. The Olympic players need the kind of exercises
that may help them build stamina as a priority and then power; the
military service exercise schedule will include exercises that
will help develop the endurance and feasibility to work hard in
all kinds of atmospheres. As you must have now understood the
meaning of physical fitness and why it is not to be confused with
core muscle training or advanced exercising techniques.
Your daily walk for 20 minutes is also a part
of physical fitness because it also helps you tone your body
according to the way that you want it to be.
