Hi lovelies,

Your body is a reflection of your decisions, surroundings, and thoughts. It would be best if you decided to take care of your body physically, mentally, and emotionally. You need to engage in appropriate exercise and activities that fit your purpose and BMI category. 

 People will have different reasons to work on their physical health: for pride, general well-being, appearance, or athleticism. Choose the right regime for you and take up the challenge. The measure of physical fitness is in the general feel of your body. 

Here are some of the determining factors that you need to consider during your physical health journey:

Body Mass Index (BMI)
The body mass index is a measure of your height against your weight. It is an accurate calculation of determining your weight range: overweight, obesity, underweight, or average. Once you identify your BMI, you will know which types of exercises you need to do to maintain or improve your body's performance. 

Apart from BMI, waist circumference is also an indicator of the body's fitness progress. Before your program, your trainer will document these measurements that the trainer will compare to throughout your program to determine how far you are progressing. It will also be an excellent, motivating factor that you can use to push yourself to the finish line. 

Flexibility 
Flexibility is determined using the sit and reach test. This test defines the flexibility of your lower back and hips. It measures how far you can reach while sitting down with your legs slightly apart. To improve your flexibility, you need to work on stretching routines that alleviate the stiffness around the back and the hips. 

Appearance
Though it may not be your primary purpose of working out, beauty and appearance make the top two reasons in most physical fitness programs. Besides toning the body, these programs ensure that you have a new fabulous look, which brings confidence. 

Some of these programs do not completely tone your body; you need to do CoolSculpting to have a refined look. Coolsculpting ensures that your body gets rid of unnecessary shrank fat in your body that will otherwise be a nuisance to your perfect look. 

Physical Fitness Is a Lifetime Commitment
Physical fitness is not a show for the season ticket holder. It is a lifetime commitment that you need to commit yourself fully. It would be best to have a complete turnaround in the food choice decisions you make and the company you keep.

Aerobic Fitness
Aerobic fitness generally tests your heart rate according to your age and gender. You need to match up to the aerobic standards to measure up to the fitness standards. You can take the heart rate test by timing your jogs and runs. Regular documentation of these results will indicate your progress in your physical fitness journey. 

Keeping your physical fitness in check all year through requires total commitment to the course. Regardless of your reason to take the fitness program, you need to adhere to the mentioned points to ensure a fruitful plan. Focus on your goals, and the results will follow!
