Explanation:

Being physically fit helps to keep blood pressure under control. The heart is a muscle and if it is not exercised it will not be healthy. When you are fit, your heart is less likely to develop the many heart diseases found in so many people today. Walking is said to be the ultimate way to remain fit, with 2000 steps per day great for exercising the heart and keeping those joints supple.

Talking of joints, exercise – fitness – is good for anyone with arthritis or stiff muscles. Gentle exercise from walking or swimming helps to strengthen the muscles, joints and ligaments so that the range of motion is maintained or even increased.

importance of fitness

Being fit is caused by physical activity, but such exercise also makes us healthier emotionally. It gives us a sense of purpose and reduces feelings of lethargy and depression. When you get out and about on your walk you will see or meet other people and this social interaction is also necessary to keep you feeling good about yourself and your life.

Being fit means you will not be overweight – or at least, not as much as those people who never exercise. Being overweight causes a lot of problems, from worn joints to heart disease and many problems in between, as well as making you feel bad about your body image. When you are fit and healthy, you will always be more confident and happier as you tend to seek out people and activities that help you enjoy life.
