Everyone has their own definition of fitness or being fit.
To have a better perception, I invited my friends over for a healthy evening snack. Each of them had a different background in fitness and they were all physically fit.
As we got into the discussion of what Fitness really is, I had an assumption that we would all be on the same page. But that’s not how our discussion of over an hour ended.
One of them started of by saying, that the best way to be fit is to play a sport, while others said that there was no better way to be fit than joining a gym. There were others who went on saying that even a morning or an evening walk on a daily basis is more than enough to stay fit and active.
I wasn’t pleased with the discussion, as I genuinely wanted an answer. I too, have been into sports, gyming and various other fitness activities like martial arts and I understood that the answer I tried finding outside, was lying inside.
All I had to do was ask myself a few questions and I was 100% sure that the answer wasn’t far away. So I began interrogating myself and the first question that popped up was, why would someone want to be physically fit?
Without a doubt, I realised that this was a much better question than what Fitness really is. Well, my answer to that was simple, an individual would want to be fit either to stay healthy or either to benefit from some performance related activity like sports or gyming.
I guess that’s all I had to know to get myself in the right direction on my fitness journey. Because at the end of the day, it’s not what you want, but what you need, that will get you to the top.
