Fitness Specific to YOU
So we have been talking about how everyone's view of fitness is different but I really want to know, well, more specifically what fitness means to you.
Does it mean being ripped, lean, fast, strong, skinny, average, active? Or all of the above? These are the aspects that need to be looked at when attaining that level of fitness specific to an individual.
I took a survey of 50 random college students (male and female) to find out what fitness meant to them. It was no surprise that the results were pretty close to what I expected.
Of all the males surveyed (34 males) 73.5% of them said fitness or being fit was being "ripped". Now is this true for all guys? Obviously not, because the other 26.5% had a different idea of what fitness was all about.
Same rule applied with the 16 girls surveyed on in the opposite direction. 94% determined their level of specific fitness was being lean and slender. While only 6% had thoughts otherwise.
The important thing to remember here is the fact that this was a survey of only 50 college students. When the sample size is larger you can only imagine the variety of answers you would receive.
My point is this, whether you are physically active already or thinking about become physically active now or in the future, always make sure you are aiming towards a fitness goal that is specific to you and your needs.
