About Fitness
Welcome to the Fitness center, Exercising for fitness means that in addition to conditioning the
heart, lungs, and circulatory system, you work all the major muscles of the body.
The goals are to build strength and endurance, so that you can lift heavier objects as well
as using the muscles for longer periods of time before they get too fatigued. You also work on
flexibility, making sure that your joints can move and your body doesn't stiffen up.
You might need to check your wardrobe—or at least your shoes. Many activities don't require special
clothing, but you should dress appropriately for the weather and invest in a good pair of shoes that
are designed for the activity you'll be doing. Experts recommend visiting a store that specializes in
athletic footwear, where trained staff can help you find a shoe that fits your needs and safeguards against injury.
It is never too late to improve your fitness level. Studies have shown that even for elderly sedentary people,
a boost in physical activity can have a significant impact, increasing strength and overall fitness.
