Your physical fitness determines how fit you feel. There is a lot of talk about the importance of fitness even in these times. But what are the benefits of fitness? Why do you need to build your fitness slowly? And why does your accumulated fitness decline so quickly when you stop exercising?
The benefits of good fitness
Your fitness has two parts: a part that you already have naturally and a part that you can build up through exercise. It is nice if you are naturally fit. Both physically and mentally.
With good fitness;
- perform activities in your daily life with ease
- recover faster after exercise
- increases the risk of injuries at sports off
- your resistance to certain diseases is higher
- lower your chances of cardiovascular disorders
- increase your stress resistance
- feel fitter and radiate health
Don't have naturally good fitness? Then you can always improve your fitness yourself by working out. Considering the above benefits, a good investment!
Build your fitness slowly
So the benefits of good fitness are huge, but don't go overboard with building your fitness right away. Your body needs to get used to new movements and an increase in exertion level first. So to avoid injury and overexertion, it is important to build up your fitness gradually and slowly. Do you notice that you are keeping up your exercises or your workout a little bit easier each time? Then you can build up a step further. After training, always give your muscles enough rest to recover. You will notice that your body gets fitter and fitter, that you can keep up the same exercises for longer and that you build up fitness.
Use it or lose it
Do you wait too long between workouts or sports or don't exercise for a long time? Then your muscles will recover to the starting values of before your last workout and your fitness and strength will decrease again. This is because jhe body uses building materials very efficiently. The moment you don't use these substances, your body loses muscle mass and converts it into fat. To stay in shape, it is therefore important to get moving and keep moving!
