FIT for Life

I am a person that believes staying fit is not just for when one is trying to get that six pack abs for a spring break trip in Cancun to impress all the girls but that it is important to simply be healthy. Many health risks can be attributed to simply not getting adequate exercise. Half of the population in the United States is categorized as being obese. This is a terrible epidemic that plagues so many. All it takes is for people to get out and be active. Many individuals find hobbies like basketball, tennis, soccer, racquetball, etc. Whenever people hear about being “fit” or exercising they feel as though they have to go out and get a six pack. Being fit does not necessarily mean going out and trying to be a body builder. A person can be fit without having bulging muscles. Not only does exercise prevent or rather reduce the occurrence of health risks but exercise is said to release endorphins which makes one feel happier. Not to mention exercise puts people in better shape which makes everyday tasks easier. Most of the time people spend hours either watching television, playing video games, surfing the internet, etc. Out of all those hours used doing these various activities that are not making one healthier why not take an hour and dedicate it becoming a healthier happier person. This is the best choice a person can make. It is important to not wait around. A healthier YOU is around the corner, grasp it!!!
