Fitness is the optimum level of performance that a physical body can engage in. In the older times, fitness was considered as the physical ability to exert in work without getting heavily fatigued at the end of the day.

In today’s modern times, the rise of hypokinetic diseases (Obesity, heart attack, diabetes etc), due to sedentary lifestyle has changed the definition of fitness.

A physically fit person has good lean muscle mass, lower cholesterol and fat, and is able to indulge in sports and perform well. For athletes, fitness would mean peak performance in sports.

For a fat person, fitness would mean lower fat concentration, and for others, it just means a daily bout of jogging.

Every person thus has his own perception about fitness. For many others, bulky muscle mass and sculpted physique would be fitness for them.

But, then many people find exercise as “work outs” that are unpleasant and stressful. Many such people resort to shortcuts, such as steroids, over working out, excessive protein supplement consumption, fat burning pills etc.

An entire industry these days has come ...
... up on the fitness mantra. It is worth billions of Dollars, and manufactures supplements, pills, diets, steroids, etc.

It also touts to give effective physical fitness tips to every person, as if they are physiologically the same.

We are bombarded everyday with so many kinds of information. Some recommend heavy workouts, others recommend light ones. Some ask us, to use protein supplements, others ask us to stay away from them.

All these kinds of information can overwhelm people and make it difficult to setup proper and suitable exercise regimes.

Fact of the matter is that every individual has different biological needs and has different genetic makeup. Some people have great mesomorph body shape and can easily gain muscle mass, while others have ectomorph body shape and cannot gain mass easily.

Such kinds of people need different advice and different exercise regimes that can benefit them greatly.

But more than that, it is the attitude to fitness that defines whether a person remains in peak physical condition, or that he abandons it and goes back to square one.

Attitude towards fitness is what makes or breaks a fitness freak.

An attitude towards fitness must be such, that gym sessions be as essential as a breakfast. Such an attitude will never make a person bored of going to the gym. He never gets tired of exercise routines and enjoys the workout as a challenge to indulge himself to physically extreme limits.

A positive attitude to fitness plays a long term role in a having a perfectly fit body and mental health. It increases confidence in a person, and makes him mentally as well as physically active.
