TIME TO BE FIT
Now days, many people seem to take better care of their cars and their computers than they do of their bodies or their health. A common complaint seems to be that people don’t have the time either to exercise or to pay attention to their diet-and yet they do seem to have the time to be ill! Surely those of us who want busy, full lives should focus on the fact that we don’t have time to be unfit and unhealthy!
There are many reasons for us to get fit and stay active and one of the main arguments is, possibly, because that is what we were designed to do. Man is an animal and until very recently in his history his entire existence was centred around some kind of physical effort.
Indeed, his very survival depended on it-his ability to enemies, climb trees and cross rivers. Nowadays, with our reliance on technology and mechanization, we no longer need to be physically active to survive in the outside world, yet our essential needs have not changes and in order to function effectively and efficiently our entire system-physical, mental and spiritual-requires daily activity. Also, it is not only our muscles that benefit from movement: our organs, glands and systems (circulation, digestion, and respiration) became much more efficient when we are fit and active.
Even in the short term, committing ourselves to a programme of regular exercise can drastically improve our fitness levels. It can-surprisingly quickly-tone and strengthen our muscles; increase our vitality; reduce insomnia; focus our minds and improve our ability to think clearly; regulate our appetite and encourage us to eat healthily; improve our circulation, breathing posture.
Strength, flexibility and stamina; and lift our mood and reduce stress. In the long term, our risk of disease, improve the way our bodies look and feel, and slow down the ageing process.
