Fitness Tip - What are you fit for?

What are you fit for?

Before embarking on any new fitness programme it's important for you to realise what you want to be fit for.

Fit or fitness are very broad terms and can be applied to a number of different things.
Ask yourself what you are fit for right now.

If all you do is sit around watching TV in the evenings, sit at a desk in front of a PC all day and drive around everywhere in the car, then that is exactly what you are fit for. If you play golf 2 times a week that is what you are fit for. If you run marathons, then that's what you're fit for. Do you understand what I'm saying?

If you want to get fit then be very specific about what you want to get fit for. If it's your dream to run the New York marathon, then that is your ultimate fitness goal and it's vital that you adapt a training programme to compliment your goal.

Setting a definitive and specific goal will help you to achieve your ultimate aim and keep you motivated.
