What is Fitness?
Fitness can mean different for each individual. For some people, fitness can be to finish a 10k marathon, and for some people, to have a six-pack. As long as you have fitness goals in your life, it’s fine.
Your fitness should help you to be in shape and healthy. And should allow you to do the activities that you want to do without any pain. Fitness is not only about your body and it’s also about your mind. It helps us to balance our body and mind.
Having a healthy body and mind helps you to achieve many goals in your life. But the biggest challenge all of you face is on keeping the fitness habit going. You do it for one month and stop due to lack of motivation. Suddenly after six months you start again and stop. This start and stop, will not help you to achieve your fitness goal.
Start slowly, day by day improve on that and be consistent. One day you will achieve your goals and keep doing that. To keep you motivated for your exercise and fitness we have gathered some quotes about fitness.
