What is fitness? Epsom Personal Trainer explains
A question that should be on the lips of everyone interested in getting “fit”.
What does being fit mean to you?
To me it means being able to complete daily tasks with ease and still having a reserve that is capable of carrying out out the occasional extraordinary task - like pushing a broken down car, helping someone off the floor who has fallen, moving house for a friend, playing games and a variety of other tasks without waking the next day in pain and suffering.
For another person it may mean running a marathon, lifting 3 times their bodyweight or being able to touch their toes.
YOU ARE FIT FOR WHAT YOU DO.
Fitnes is not a sign of health, they can be related but rest assured they are not the same thing; a marathoner is fit for covering very long distances but they are not always healthy - too many die from exhaustion or heart failure, have wrecked joints etc - that is not health. Footballers are fit for running around, jumping and being agile - how many have knee replacements, torn ligaments etc - fit but not healthy.
If you want to be fit then great, I can help, if you want health, great I can help. Just don’t mistake fitness for health.
Just because you can’t run a 10k in under 30 minutes doesnt mean you’re not fit. It just means you’re not fit for that activity. In the same breath, just because you can run it in under 30 minutes does not mean you are fitter than those that can’t - afterall, can you lift double bodyweigth from the ground, ride a horse, walk on your hands?
Once again - YOU ARE FIT FOR WHAT YOU DO!
