The
importance of physical fitness cannot be emphasized enough. In today's society
that is moving towards a more sedentary lifestyle, there is a greater need than
ever to increase the daily activity level to maintain both cardiovascular
fitness and body weight staying active means keeping your body functioning at a

does not have to be something boring and dreaded. It can be something that you
enjoy that helps to increase the overall happiness in your life, as well as
relieve symptoms of stress, depression and anxiety. Try to find some activities
that give you pleasure or even a buddy to do them with so that exercise is a
fun and enjoyable activity (and one that you continue on a regular basis

something. Any type of moderate activity like walking, swimming, biking or
organized sports can contribute to your physical fitness. Explore your fitness
options at your local gym, community center or community college for courses

Health
and exercise are the two sides of the same coin, absolutely inseparable from
each other. Let us analyze what health is. According to W.H.O. Health is a state of complete Physical, Mental, Social,
Emotional and Socially well being of a Person. Health is, in common understanding, the name
given to the correct well adjusted working of the physical system of man's
body. This involves the efficient working of all the systems of the body i.e.
the nervous system, circulatory system, digestive system etc. If all these
systems working efficiently in a man's body, the man is called healthy. Now,
let us consider as to what makes these systems work efficiently? The human body
is very intricate and there are so many internal organs all working as singular
bodies and also coordinating the functions of all together. It is on the good
and efficient working of all its organs that the health of a human body
depends.
Many
important organs are internal organs and cannot be seen from outside, or can
they be touched with the hand. so, the problem is, how to keep so many internal
organs work efficiently and keep them
trim and healthy. It is for this problem of maintaining these internal organs
that, there are certain norms which, if man follows with immunity, he will
remain healthy with all these organs working well and efficiently. It is to
deal with these unseen organs that are vital to man's health that exercise is
said to be the best tonic, and energizer. With a detailed plan of exercises,
man can give all his organs a befitting rejuvenation on a daily basis.
Exercise
tones up our movements, keeps the spine straight and fit, and the digestive
system perfect. The blood circulates through the body reaching out to all the
parts of the body.
Asides
this, when the exercise gives the heart a chance to pump faster its capacity to
pump blood faster is proportionately increased. Thus, with an exercise format
regularly followed, man can help keep all his organs, internal and external
geared up and in absolute fitness. Exercise also tones the muscles and keeps
man active. Thus, with exercise, man provides for himself a good and perfect
and sound health.
Exercise
and health are absolutely inseparable and are always seen going hand in hand.
Exercise is also one neat and sure way of avoiding health hazards and
medication. Exercise could well be called a tonic for all times, for all people and for all ages. Once this
tonic is consumed regularly on a daily basis, no other medication may ever he
required.
