Points To Be Cosidered Before You Begin Any Body Fitness Program

What is the present state of your health?

You must evaluate your present body condition before you consider joining a diet plan or a gymnasium. Every body is different and what may be suitable to A may not be suitable for B. Try to find weak points in your body, e.g. Do you have lower back problem or may be, you are allergic to some specific food. You have to learn to take responsibility for your body. Any doctor or a dietician or a gymnasium trainer might miss any such points specific to your body.

There may be many such points. I have listed a few of them.

 1)        Do you have any pain which is not a result of any injury?

 2)     Do you get tired easily during outdoor activities?  

 3)     Do you have inferiority complex as a result of your body shape or as a result of your physical appearance? 

 4)    Has a doctor ever prescribed you a specific exercise so that you do not become ill?

If any of the above points are true for you, you must get deeper into this investigation by checking the following points. Many tools are available to check these parameters.

 1) Your Blood Pressure:  The pressure with blood is pumped to your rest of the body. A healthy person has this between 120 to 139 and 80 to 89.  

 2)   BMI:  Your Body Mass Index is a measure of the percentage of fat on your body.  The higher this number is, the more prone to health risks you are. BMI calculator is available in this blog. You may find it by clicking on the BMI page above.

 

3)   Your Weight:  What is your weight. It should be in accordance with your height. You may find the ideal weight for your height in many charts available online. Just google it.

       

4)  Measure your waist. Your waist line is a major indication of your health. People with larger waist line

are more prone to health risks.

 These four points are important elements for you to take into consideration before you decide any body fitness program whether it dieting or exercising.

What Next?

Once you know your present state of health, you are ready to set your goals. Find out what is important for you and where your body needs improvement. Discuss with your doctor, trainer or the dietician before you begin.

Now that you have this done, you can begin to improve your body fitness.  

Body fitness is not only about Weight Loss

99% percent of us start thinking of body fitness when we gradually start putting on weight. Although, body weight is an important factor but body fitness is not only about weight loss.

Many people make that mistake of starving their bodies in order to lose weight as soon as possible, creating additional side effects. Remember, fit body is not only about looks but also about your general happiness. If you are physically fit, you will not only feel proud about yourself but you will feel happy and contented.
