Why is it that the world is focusing more and more on fitness, but at the same time everybody seems to be even more out of shape?
Scores of new diets come in and out of the market place that promise us amazing results in a matter of weeks. There’s always some sort of new magical pill which claims to be able to make you “fit”.
Each year, waves of people make a New Year’s resolution to keep in shape and sign up for a gym membership, only to return to their sedentary lifestyle a month later.
The world is constantly in search of the answer. Unfortunately, so many people go looking for the easy fix, the path of least resistance.
The problem is that there is no easy fix.
There is no easy answer.
The truth is that anything worthwhile in our lives requires our effort and attention. Our physical health should be no different. Who do you want to be – the out-of-shape person you’ve been in the past, or the fit and tone person you know you can be?
We Are All Human
Each person is built slightly different, but we all have the same basic needs. Both men and women alike need to maintain certain levels of muscular strength and endurance. We also need to maintain good cardiovascular health and flexibility. Where we differ is in the level, degree, and type of fitness we are trying to achieve.
Regardless of the type of build you are shooting for, you will need to know how properly build your strength, cardiovascular health, and flexibility. For many people, this will mean learning how to lift weights and exercise effectively.
Weights Matter
You may have friends who claim you can get fit without weights. That may be true, but how are they defining “fit”? Sure, you can be thin without resistance training. But I’m assuming you want to be fit in the sense of looking good and having the strength and endurance to live the life you want. When combined with a cardio program, building lean muscle mass will burn fat faster and give you far more endurance in whatever you do – competing in physical events or just playing with your kids.
And weight training is the most effective form of resistance training. You’ll see progress faster with weights and you’ll fill out your t-shirt a little better. Whatever your lifestyle and personal goals, you’ll be better if you add weight lifting. Hey, even Tiger Woods incorporates weight training into his regimen, in a sport not exactly known for body building.
Getting There
Our approach at World Fitness Network is to steer clear of the fad diets, the magical pills, and the hype that surrounds the fitness industry. And we’re not talking about building bulk muscle simply to build bulk. Let’s get back to common sense. Let’s take a long-term and sensible approach to health and fitness.
