Jogging Bad For Weight Loss and Fitness? Yes!

Why Jogging Is Bad For Weight Loss And Fitness

Drive down any scenic road on a weekend morning, and you're likely to see more joggers than scenery. You might feel jealous at how fit and energetic they look, and perhaps even a twinge of shame as you look down at the box of donuts in the seat next to you which was your purpose for being out this beautiful morning.

But are your feelings of jealousy and shame justified? Should it be you out there in high end cool running gear jogging along to shed some pounds and get more fit?

After a particular analysis, we think you'll agree the precise write back is No, that should not be you. Why?

Because Jogging is Bad for weight loss and fitness.

While you definitely should be seeing for ways to lose weight and come to be more fit, millions of habitancy are doing more harm than good selecting jogging as their form of exercise. Can millions of habitancy be wrong? Well, grab a donut, read on and settle for yourself.

First A Few Definitions

Ok, let's be clear who and what we are talking about with some definitions:

Jogger - man who runs 1 hour per workout session at a pace of 5 miles per hour (12 minutes per mile). Since many joggers keep a faster pace than that. We will also address "Runners" who keep an 8 mile per hour pace (under 8 minutes per mile). These definitions are provided by the Mayo Clinic Weight Loss Website.

Weight Loss - The losing of weight per your scale or your clothes feeling more loose. Sorry, buying new, larger clothes does not qualify under this definition (be great if it would, eh?).

Fitness - There are many ways to define fitness. We have chosen one that hopefully matters to the most people: A person's widespread corporeal health measured by their potential to successfully perform a wide range of functional tasks.

Why Jogging Is Bad For Weight Loss And Fitness - The Evidence
Caloric Deficit

You will likely outeat the fat you burn while jogging or running

According to the Mayo Clinic, a 160 pound man who jogs for an hour will burn 584 calories. A 160 pound runner ramps up the fat burned in an hour to 986. If you weigh more you burn more calories, if you weigh less you burn less. Many habitancy don't jog for an hour per workout, but we want joggers to have a chance at success here so we'll pretend they all do.

In order for our jogger to lose weight as a direct corollary of this workout they will need to ensure they do not eat more fat than the 584-986 they just burned. This is what's called the "caloric deficit" and it's probably the most widely accepted and proven formula to weight loss.

How realistic is that? Not very. An hour of any practice tends to create a pretty serious appetite at some point later that day (which would be the worst time to eat it by the way), let alone the feeling of "entitlement" that comes from a workout well done. So most joggers (from here forward when I say joggers I am together with "runners" unless noted) are going to head out for a nice meal to celebrate their efforts. A meal that will have much higher fat than what they would eat if they didn't jog.

But does it literally take a huge meal to make jogging or running a net loser for weight loss? The Power Bar you eat right before the run has 230 calories, that bagel with the cream cheese "schmear" you eat with your running group after the run has 400 or more calories, as does One decent sized slice of pepperoni pizza you've literally earned. If you settle to splurge on dessert because you jogged today, any decent one will literally add 500 or more calories. We won't even mention the integrate extra beers or glasses of wine...oops, guess we just did!

So it's a good bet that joggers and even runners will add enough fat to their diets on practice days to outeat what they just burned, which at best will be a breakeven, and very often will create a net caloric (as in Weight) Gain.

But we are not stopping there. What about on those days you don't jog? How many habitancy are literally that disciplined to cut back on their eating since they won't be burning those further calories? More often, you hear "I'll run this off tomorrow" as they head back for seconds on the pasta. So, now the growth in fat caused by jogging on workout days leads to more fat on non workout days, further expanding weight gain.

We articulate this is how Most habitancy carry on their eating, which means most joggers are gaining weight as a corollary of their jogging efforts.

To be fair, there are a select few habitancy who do carry on their fat more effectively than outlined above-- we have a name for those habitancy - "The 2% club": The 2% of habitancy who successfully articulate a low calorie diet. While members of the 2% club can create a caloric deficit by jogging, it still will not be a significant deficit, and more importantly 2% Clubbers Don'T Need To Jog To Lose Weight because they are successfully dieting!

Muscle Catabolism

You will literally lose muscle while jogging, especially since jogging does not involve your upper body in any meaningful way.

A "catabolic state" refers to the state in which your body is burning protein for its nutritional needs. A catabolic state is one you'd like to avoid as it means you are burning muscle to create energy for your practice efforts. Yet joggers and runners are putting their bodies in this state every time they work out.

When you jog you are using your leg muscles which gives them a theorize to grow stronger. That's good, but to jog for an hour your body needs to find energy, and low intensity activities like jogging for an hour will need to entrance energy from all possible sources which consist of fat and muscle.

Here's a uncomplicated question: What does jogging do to benefit your upper body? uncomplicated answer: Nothing. So along with the fat you want to burn, your body is burning muscle as part of it's energy to let you do your jogging workouts. And, where is it most likely to "catabolize" this muscle? From your upper body where it's not being used and therefore not needed.

And while jogging can give you stronger legs, a weak upper body is harmful to fitness as defined at the start of this essay. This is one example of how jogging harms your fitness. There's more to come.

Most joggers and runners come to be aware of this and start doing upper body resistance training such as weight lifting to forestall muscle catabolism. That's a literally good idea, but that's not jogging for fitness is it? No, that's having to do More practice to offset the negative effects of jogging!

Plus, studies indicate that every pound of muscle on your body takes 3 to 10 times more fat to retain than fat, so allowing any muscle catabolism means you are literally slowing your metabolism throughout the day. Slower metabolism does not sound like a good thing for whether weight loss or fitness does it?

Again, the devil's advocate will want to argue that joggers can minmize muscle catabolism without supplemental practice by using Target Heart Rate Training. Basically, this involves exercising at a rate below your "target" heart rate to encourage more fat burning. So now we are jogging slower which means we are burning fewer fat which harms our caloric deficit. This makes weight loss even more difficult. Now we're confused. What's the most sufficient way to jog again? Do we jog faster and burn more fat or jog slower and save more muscle?

Adaptive Response

Your body will adapt to the challenge of jogging fairly quickly, thus making it progressively harder to lose weight or come to be more fit. Once your body adapts to jogging you enter a "death spiral" of needing to run further or faster or both to see any further improvement.

Adaptive response is just a fancy way of saying that your body will do it's best to adjust to anything level of practice you are trying to do. It will "adapt". This is why it's a lot easier to perfect the 1 hour jog after you have done it 10 times than it is the first time you try it.

But when it comes to weight loss, adaptive response is exactly what you don't want. It means your body has reached a state where jogging is no longer a challenge, and because you are now capable of handling the task at hand, there is no theorize to drop any further fat or add any more muscle. In addition, your metabolism has a similar adapative response. You will be doing the same exercise, but anything metabolic benefits you were getting will continue to decrease the good you get at it. You might think of this situation as a "plateau".

As adaptive response makes your runs less and less sufficient from a fitness, metabolic and weight loss standpoint, joggers are left with 2 choices: run faster or run farther to give your body a new challenge that it needs to heighten upon in order to adapt. Running faster or farther is not necessarily a bad thing, but it dramatically increases your chances of injury and also starts to take an inordinate estimate of time to perform an sufficient workout. Plus it's Hard. A much harder jog (or run) that lasts a lot longer increases your chances of giving up on your jogging program. And if you do give up jogging because it becomes too much work to see any results, you are at risk of significant weight gain without an even more restrictive diet.

Bottom line, your adaptive response to jogging has a determined aspect in that it's good for your potential to jog (not necessarily for your widespread fitness--see Practical Applications), but it's Bad for your weight loss efforts, and it creates a never ending "death spiral" of harder, longer jogs or harder, faster runs that most habitancy will have issue staying with due to injury or lack of motivation.

Injuries And Other health Issues

Jogging's repetitive appeal over long periods of time makes joint injuries very likely. Other injury and health concerns come from the adaptive response death spiral mentioned above, running in traffic and in inclement weather.

Pavement is hard and unforgiving. Your legs pounding against it for thousands of steps per jogging session can cause serious short term and long term injuries to your joints and muscles.

Sure, there are good running shoes that can help forestall injuries, but sooner or later you're bound to injure a knee or ankle or even worse, a hip while jogging.

There's also the issue of running on the roads with automobile traffic which has been known to cause serious injury or even death. That cannot be determined a plus for joggers.

And, the sheer distance of jogging, a repetitive appeal for 1 full hour, increases the chance of a range of injuries like shin splints or a range of foot problems versus shorter forms of practice due to muscle fatigue.

There's more. Consideration must be given to the health and safety risk of running in inclement weather. Jogging in ultimate heat or cold, rain, snow or worst of all icy conditions greatly increases the risk of injury or an illness that makes you miss workouts for a short period of time or perhaps something worse.

Of course the treadmill offers a viable explication to many of these issues, but not all of them. And many joggers insist on jogging outdoors throughout the year. When they do, the risk of injuries and other health related issues is very real and should be determined in an assessment of the benefits of jogging.

Practical Applications

Jogging has few practical applications. Jogging is not a good form of training for most other activities -- except for more jogging. Plus, the loss of upper body muscle and lower body joint problems that often corollary from jogging can literally decrease your widespread fitness level.

Remember our definition of fitness: A person's widespread corporeal health measured by their potential to successfully perform a wide range of functional tasks.

We would have to concede jogging could heighten your abilities at the following activities:

1) More Jogging
2) Basketball - well not literally the sprinting up and down the court to be competitive, but you can jog down to set up a half court play with the best of them.
3) Football - Jogging from the huddle to the line of scrimmage.
4) Baseball - Jogging to the dugout with a beer in your hand at your weekly softball league.

Umm, that's all we can think of. The rest of the activities in the above sports and many others like skiing, tennis and golf require vigor (both muscle and joint), the potential to use your body at full speed, as well as hand eye coordination, none of which are helped by jogging.

The fact that jogging has no practical applications as cross training for any other sport makes it a lot of time spent for very minute benefit, except of course for #1 above--more jogging. This is especially true when you correlate jogging to other practice alternatives like vigor training, and interval training. You can spend a lot less time exercising and come to be more sufficient at performing all sorts of other sports and activities. This in turn offers you more opportunities to have fun and heighten your fitness. Does developing your jogging skills help you with any other activities or tasks you like to do?

The Verdict?

Based upon the wonderful evidence outlined above, the verdict is Jogging is a Bad practice for weight loss and fitness. Running for an hour at a faster pace does offer determined advantages over jogging but still ends up a net negative for weight loss and fitness when all the factors are considered.

Sunday Driving

So, the next time you head out for weekend donuts you can smile at thin or fit seeing joggers, because now you know they didn't get that way by only jogging. And when you get home, grab a maple custard (my favorite!) and spend 30 minutes studying weight loss and fitness plans that work on enhancing your body's metabolism to solve the caloric deficit problem because there are much good ways than exercising endlessly and cutting calories. Also, a good fitness plan should put in order you for a wide range of tasks and activities.

If you study hard and plan correctly, your practice schedule should only take half the time the joggers spend but will take you much further down the road to weight loss and fitness.

We hope you do your homework and find the plan that's right for you because being happy with your weight and fitness is a great feeling that everybody should enjoy.

reasoning Fitness Challenge: 90 Days to turn


Fun or Fitness

I have read hundreds of examples recently where habitancy have taken a 90 day challenge to improve the physical fitness and I love it! What great way to get in physical shape than partner with a society of like-minded individuals? However, with all the focus on a physical challenge, aren't habitancy missing out on two other key aspects of fitness - the mental and spiritual sides?

If habitancy are going to challenge themselves anyway, why not begin a 90 day total mental fitness challenge? Work on all three areas of life by enhancing one's physical, mental, and spiritual sides. For example, just as flabby muscles must be worked out in order to tone and strengthen, so too does flabby thinking. In fact, if anything, flabby mental can have more disastrous effects in a person's life than flabby muscles. Therefore, if a man is investing power for 90 days anyway, then make it a total transformation, not just a physical one.

A person's understanding life changes when he begins to feed on a steady diet of definite books, audios, and connection with others who do the same. Indeed, I know of no other operation than can turn a person's life as fast as changing his associations. Birds of a feather, in other words, do flock together. My good friend, the late Charlie "Tremendous" Jones, used to say, "Five years from now you will be pretty much the same as you are today except for two things: the books you read and the habitancy you get close to" It was eighteen years when I first heard Charlie's words and took his advice. It changed everything.

Fitness experts say that 85% of physical fitness is in proper dieting. I believe the same principle holds true for mental and spiritual dieting as well. Tell me the understanding diet a man routinely feeds his mental and spiritual sides and I can fairly accurately predict his five year future. Success is that predictable; however, it isn't that easy.

Why not? Because the right habits, although easy to do, are also easy not to do. Left to themselves, most habitancy will select the path of least resistance, which means chronic in their bad habits rather than changing. The good news, however, is that straight through associating with others in a 90 day challenge, a man can leverage the society to help drive his personal change. In essence, society is the contrast in the middle of good intentions and good results. Many will give up on themselves, but fewer are willing to give up on others who are counting on them.

Fortunately, it only takes three steps for a man to turn everything:

1. Invent a proper diet for the food and thoughts entering his body and mind.

2. Make commitments to himself and others to corollary the new diet for 90 days.

3. Utter connection with others who have committed to do the same thing.

There it is. A recipe for success in any area of life. It's been said that a man changes when the pain of staying the same or the joy of changing becomes big enough. Eighteen years ago, I took Charlie "Tremendous" Jones up on his mental fitness challenge and it has made all the contrast for me. I share this with the readers to encourage them in the three step process for real change. Are you ready to take the mental fitness challenge?

8 Key Training law For Fitness and Sports Training


Fun or Fitness

The 8 Training ideas are research-based guidelines that can help you accelerate your training strengthen and optimize your results. Knowing how to apply these ideas gives you an educated basis on which you can make informed decisions about designing your fitness or sports training program. The ideas can also help you rate the merits of fitness equipment and personal training services.

All of the ideas complement each other. For best results, they should be applied in concert throughout every phase of training.

1. Principle of Specificity suggests that your body will make adjustments according to the type of training you perform and in the very same muscles that you exercise. How you train determines what you get.

This principle guides you in designing your fitness training program. If your goal is to enhance your comprehensive level of fitness, you would devise a well-rounded program that builds both durability and comprehensive body strength. If you want to build the size of your biceps, you would growth weight loads on bicep curls and connected exercises.

2. The Principle of Overload implies that you must continually growth training loads as your body adapts over time. Because your body builds and adjusts to your existing training regimen, you must gradually and systematically growth your work load for prolonged improvement.

A ordinarily acceptable guideline for weight training is to growth resistance not more than 10% per week. You can also use percentages of your maximum or estimated maximum level of doing and work out within a target training zone of about 60-85% of maximum. As your maximum doing improves, your training loads will increase, as well.

3. The Principle of recovery assets that you must get enough rest between workouts in order to recuperate. How much rest you need depends upon your training program, level of fitness, diet, and other factors.

Generally, if you perform a total body weight workout three days per week, rest at least 48 hours between sessions. You can perform cardio more often and on successive days of the week.

Over time, too microscopic recovery can corollary in signs of overtraining. Excessively long periods of recovery time can corollary in a detraining effect.

4. The Principle of Reversibility refers to the loss of fitness that results after you stop training. In time, you will revert back to your pre-training condition. The biological principle of use and disuse underlies this principle. Naturally stated, If you don't use it, you lose it.

While enough recovery time is essential, taking long breaks results in detraining effects that may be noticeable within a few weeks. Important levels of fitness are lost over longer periods. Only about 10% of power is lost 8 weeks after training stops, but 30-40% of durability is lost in the same time period.

The Principle of Reversibility does not apply to skills. The effects of stopping convention of motor skills, such as weight training exercises and sport skills, are very different. Coordination appears to store in long-term motor memory and remains nearly excellent for decades. A skill once learned is never forgotten.

5. The Principle of incompatibility implies that you should consistently change aspects of your workouts. Training variations should all the time occur within ranges that are aligned with your training directions and goals. Varying exercises, sets, reps, intensity, volume, and duration, for example, prevents boredom and promotes more consistent correction over time. A well-planned training program set up in phases offers built-in variety to workouts, and also prevents overtraining.

6. The Principle of change suggests that workout activities can enhance the doing of other skills with coarse elements, such as sport skills, work tasks, or other exercises. For example, performing explosive squats can enhance the vertical jump due to their coarse movement qualities. But dead lifting would not change well to marathon swimming due to their very dissimilar movement qualities.

7. The Principle of Individualization suggests that fitness training programs should be adjusted for personal differences, such as abilities, skills, gender, experience, motivation, past injuries, and bodily condition. While general ideas and best practices are good guides, each person's unique qualities must be part of the practice equation. There is no one size fits all training program.

8. The Principle of balance is a broad understanding that operates at dissimilar levels of healthy living. It suggests that you must avow the right mix of exercise, diet, and healthy behaviors. Falling out of balance may cause a variety of conditions (e.g., anemia, obesity) that sway health and fitness. In short, it suggests all things in moderation.

If you go to extremes to lose weight or build fitness too quickly, your body will soon respond. You could palpate symptoms of overtraining until you perform a healthy training balance that works for you.

For fitness training, balance also applies to muscles. If opposing muscles (e.g., hamstrings and quadriceps in the upper legs) are not strengthened in the right proportions, injuries can result. Muscle imbalances also lead to tendinitis and postural deviations.

Keep these 8 Training ideas in mind as you construct and carry out your fitness training program. They can help you make wise practice decisions so you can perform your goals more swiftly with less wasted effort.

Golf Fitness Exercises For Women Golfers


Fun or Fitness

Golf fitness exercises can be useful for the woman golfer in terms of improving the foundation of the swing, rotation in the backswing, speed improvement in the downswing, and a consistent discontinue position. Learn how golf fitness exercises can advantage the woman golfer. Lowering scores and manufacture the game more enjoyable.

It is well known in pro golf how integral golf fitness exercises are for success at the top levels. Men on the Pga Tour and women on the Lpga Tour understand the benefits of golf fitness exercises in achieving success. Outside the circles of pro players many questions exist about golf fitness exercises. Questions such as; what are the best exercises to improve golf fitness levels, are flexibility exercises and stretches best than other forms of golf fitness exercises, and what are the benefits of golf fitness exercises for the woman golfer?

These and many questions surround the topic of golf fitness. This report is to provide some answers for you on the topic of golf fitness exercises for woman. It has been well documented in magazines and television how Lpga women such as Annika Sorenstam apply fitness programs to advantage their play on the course. Is there a inequity in the middle of the Lpga player and the amateur woman in relation to golf fitness training? The rejoinder is no. Yes, the women on the Lpga Tour are the best women golfers in the world, but the physiology of the Lpga player and amateur are the same. The skeletal, muscular, and neural systems are the same. The pro player has the same whole of muscles in their bodies as the amateur. The woman's pro player has the same skeletal structure as the female amateur, and nervous theory as well. Granted the Lpga player has more refined and sufficient swing mechanics, but the body is the same.

As a result of the body being the same, the theory and structure of a golf fitness agenda for any woman is similar. Before discussing the specifics of a agenda for women it is requisite to understand a few leading principles. The first principle to understand about a fitness agenda is sports specific. Sports exact is a term describing the type of training utilized in a golf fitness program. Sport exact training plainly states the agenda utilized by the woman athlete is geared towards improving them in their chosen sport.

A second principle closely associated to sports exact training is cross specificity training. Cross specificity training is the utilization of exercises to originate the woman golfer in the positions, movements, and actions incorporated in the golf swing. The goal of cross specificity training is a exchange of training result to the field of competition. plainly stated, a exchange of training result is the quality of exercises utilized to train the female golfer having a direct advantage on their doing on the course.

For example, golf flexibility exercises will effort to improve the flexibility within the player. As the player improves their flexibility parameters in relation to the swing. She may be able to generate a bigger shoulder turn, which may increase the length of her drives. This advantage is an example of a exchange of training result onto the golf course. In summary, the three theory that assist in the improvement of a golf fitness agenda for women are; sports specific, cross specificity training, and exchange of training effect. Many additional theory exist that are used as guidelines in the improvement of a fitness program, but these are three requisite ones.

Outside of the guidelines governing the improvement of a golf fitness agenda for woman. exact corporeal components within the body are needed within the body to execute the golf swing correctly. Remember, it is the body performing the biomechanics of the swing. In order for the swing to be executed correctly and efficiently obvious levels of flexibility, balance, strength, endurance, and power are required. These are the actual corporeal components within the golfer a fitness agenda looks to originate and improve in relation to the golf swing.

The swing requires the body to move through a long range of motion for an sufficient movement to occur. Much of this is contingent upon the quality of the core to coil and uncoil during the swing. In order for these two biomechanical actions to occur efficiently, the improvement of proper flexibility in the core is necessary.

We apply flexibility exercises that are cross-specific to the movements in the swing to originate flexibility. The majority of these flexibility exercises are rotational and dynamic.

The swing is a dynamic movement, indicating that the body is in constant motion. It is crucial to originate a range of motion in a dynamic rather than a static (not moving) method. The goal of these exercises is to generate a range of motion in the core for the golf swing. Flexibility is the first corporeal component requiring improvement within the woman golfer.

One needs to maintain, dynamically, a garage body throughout the whole swing. We have all hit balls at the range and know what happens when we do not stay balanced during the swing. improving the balance and stabilization capabilities of the core translates into a best golf swing. best balance equals a best Swing. Even subtle movements are consistency killers; thus we need to originate and maintain balance for a consistent swing.

Balance is associated to the efficiency of the nervous theory and force of the muscular theory working together. The improvement of greater balance in the core and swing is the result of two types of exact exercise. The first challenges the nervous theory creating greater efficiency. The second are exercises that generate increased force in the core. The compound of these two types of exercises permit for the body to maintain posture, promote sufficient weight transfer, and generate power in the swing. The result is a more consistent, accurate, and fine swing. This is the second component included with a golf fitness program.

Remember that the golf swing is a repetitive movement. The mechanics of the swing repeat with each stroke. This process can be repeated hundreds of times in a round of golf. Ever go to the range and hit two buckets of balls? At some point the body starts to tire, and shots scatter.

Proper endurance training enables us to repeat a sound swing. We yield this through a series of exercises developing endurance in the whole body. This nets us a consistent swing through eighteen holes. Increasing endurance leads to lower scores. This is the third corporeal component of the golf fitness agenda for women.

Club head speed is a function of power. The more power generated by the body, the greater speed at which a club head impacts the ball. More power to the ball equals longer drives. Developing higher levels of power within the muscular theory of the body is achieved through the implementation of power exercises. These types of exercise assist in creating higher power outputs of the muscles complex in the golf swing. Power training is the final component found in a golf fitness agenda for women.

In summary a golf fitness agenda for the Lpga or amateur woman golfer is relatively the same. Golf exercises for the woman golfer are sports specific. The exercises are cross-specific to the movements, positions, and requirements of the swing. The exercises within a woman's golf fitness agenda induce a exchange of training result onto the course. The swing requires obvious levels of flexibility, balance, strength, endurance, and power to execute correctly. A golf fitness agenda for women will look to improve these corporeal components of the body. The end result is an improved swing equating to lower scores and more enjoyment on the course.

The point of physical Fitness


Fun or Fitness

In its most general meaning, bodily fitness is a general state of good bodily health. Obtaining and maintaining bodily fitness is a succeed of bodily activity, proper diet and food and of procedure proper rest for bodily recovery. In its simplest terms, bodily fitness is to the human body what fine-tuning is to an engine. It enables citizen to achieve up to their potential. Regardless of age, fitness can be described as a health that helps individuals look, feel and do their best. Thus, bodily fitness trainers, impart it as the quality to achieve daily tasks vigorously and alertly, with left over energy to enjoy leisure-time activities and meet accident demands.

At the same time, since what humans do with their bodies directly affects the state of mind, fitness influences to some degree qualities such as thinking alertness and emotional expression.

Physical fitness is often divided into the following categories in order for citizen to be able explore its components or parts. Particularly, bodily fitness is judged by:

1. Cardiovascular endurance: This is the quality of the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues and to remove wastes over sustained periods of time.

2. Muscular strength & endurance: strength deals with the quality of the muscle to exert force for a brief time period, while durableness is the quality of a muscle, or group of muscles, to preserve repeated contractions or to continue to apply force against an inert object.

3. Flexibility: This denotes the quality to move joints and use muscles straight through their full range of motion.

4. Body composition: thought about as one of the components of fitness, compound refers to the body in terms of lean mass (muscle, bone, vital tissue, and organs) and fat mass. Actually, the optimal ratio of fat to lean mass is an indication of fitness. Performing the right set of exercises can help citizen get rid off body fat and growth or say muscle mass.

The most coarse image for a gym or fitness town to feature on their logo is one of the human body. The form can be whether masculine and muscular or a slim, feminine shape depending on the message that you want to convey.

We looked over a large variety of fitness business logos and noticed other coarse themes too. Practice tool such as barbells, dumbbells and treadmills can work well. A fastener such as a heart could emphasize the condition benefits of quarterly workouts.

Movement is a coarse theme in fitness logos and the images of people and other objects used on many designs are made to look like they are in a state of movement.

Color Choice

When it comes to selection of color, anything can work well. Color combination's that are vibrant and fascinating are coarse in this industry although conservative colors can also suit some types of gym or fitness club better.

Bear in mind that logos are normally more effective when they are straightforward in design. Using excessive color can make a logo unnecessarily cluttered so the best designers will normally stick to only two or three colors. This can also make for a more versatile image, especially when it comes to printing.

Font Selection

Your designer should contribute you with concepts that show a variety of font or lettering styles. The right font can also help to reinforce the message that you want to get across in your logo.

One thing that we noticed with fitness and gym logos is that they often use fonts that slope forwards, implying movement, enlarge or speed.

Working With a Designer

There are many online institution logo associates that can put together a compose that is tailor made for your business specifically. Most of them feature portfolios of their former work on their websites so you can look through and see how they have tackled gym and fitness logos for other clients.

Once you have chosen a compose firm to work with you will have to complete a briefing form that sets out your requirements for the project. Be sure to give them as much facts as possible about your business, your target store and your competitors. They can then compose something that accurately represents your business.

Refer them to some examples of gym logos that you like or dislike so that they have some idea what you are seeing for.

Many business owners hesitate to spend a few hundred dollars on a expert design. However, when you think that a logo will be serving you over a duration of many years it is easier to comprehend the value. A great logo will likely offer you a better return on investment than any other component of your marketing plan.

Get you gym or fitness town off to a good start with a great seeing logo design.

3 Major Components expound the importance of corporeal Fitness


Fun or Fitness

The point of corporeal fitness in the life of whatever trying to seek great condition and over-all well being is not just as easy as working out three days a week. Life itself is nothing but constant checks and balances and so to should be your condition and fitness.

What I mean is this, life is a series of waves, it may seem things have a constant but this is only an illusion. For life to profess it's "constant" it must accomplish a equilibrium of these waves which can be called an equilibrium or when things seem to be complacent.

The point of corporeal fitness in your life and in your condition is just as leading as the constant equilibrium of life itself. But to accomplish this equilibrium in condition you must understand three major components. It is in this description that you will examine these components and why they are so leading in achieving equilibrium in your condition and corporeal fitness.

#1 The Mindset:

The mindset will be one of the most leading aspects, no, The most leading aspect of your corporeal fitness. If you don't have the mindset, the drive, the perseverance, and the ability to channel your focus then you will fail before you even get started.

Mindset is made up of your goals and your convictions. Are you of the mindset to do what it takes?will you push straight through the pain? Will you do it again tomorrow or give up today?

Before you can begin to understand the point of corporeal fitness you must first look deep within yourself. You must pledge to your inner self that this is what you truly want. Go beyond the simple thoughts and dialog within your outer self, adhere to your goal and know, no matter what those thoughts say, you know deep within yourself to continue pushing forward.

#2 What You Eat:

The point of corporeal fitness is also just another form of equilibrium in your over-all health. Working out and using your body will be just one step in creating harmony within your body.

To accomplish that equilibrium of condition you must also look at your eating habits. Now I hate to call healthy eating a "diet". The very word "diet" to me signifies a temporary outcome or a short term goal. This word can also be looked at subconsciously as a negative in your life.

I don't want you to "diet" or restrict yourself. What you do need to do is understand the food you eat. Eat for the reasons of condition and longevity, not only for pleasure or avoidance of pain.

When you understand the food you eat you will never have to diet again. You can still eat the foods you desire on chance but with part operate and in balance. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables more often then ice cream and candy. Drink water more often then soda and alcohol.

Eventually you will find that you don't have to diet, that you can enjoy these "bad" foods, but soon you will perceive you don't even need them in your life. By taking the balanced and part advent rather than short term restriction you can reach your long term goals.

When you deprive or punish yourself you give reasons to break down when your emotional load is overwhelming. When you give in you may give up. This is not because you are weak but because you are human.

In a balanced advent you perceive that you are not being bad by enjoying something tasty. But instead you can take the moment to for real enjoy the sense of taste and the pleasures it provides. But after wards you will drink your water and tomorrow you will enjoy your fruits and vegetables.

Strive for equilibrium not restriction.

#3 corporeal Fitness:

So by now you can see that the "importance of corporeal fitness" cannot be looked at as a one trick pony. It is only part of a collaborative advent of over-all condition and fitness.

But lets take a look at corporeal fitness itself. Why is it important?

Well, I am sure you have heard this saying before, "Use it or lose it". The same idea goes with your body. Sure it won't happen over night, but in long term, if you don't use muscles they will break down and be used for alternative energy.

If you don't stimulate your body if will never feel the need to be strong and ready for corporeal actions. If you don't give your body a imagine to do a single action it simply won't do it!

Think of it as doing your chores. Sure sometimes they seem pointless even though it will take a whopping 15 minutes to vacuum. But think about it, if you don't vacuum the dust will build up and the room will begin to look old.

In time, because this room is not taken care of it will become cluttered and un-used. Bugs may move in and take over just as viruses, bacteria, and cell deformations may take over an unused body.

So think about it, if you just took that 15 minutes to "vacuum", the room would stay more vibrant and fresh a lot longer. Sure all is bound to break down in time as that is the life and the laws of physics that we live by.

However, up holding something will keep it new, longer. Taking care of the room will give imagine for it to be used and kept up.

Just in the same way straight through corporeal fitness that your body has a imagine to renew your skeletal structure, to build muscle, to burn fat, and to keep your body running optimal.

By now the point of corporeal fitness should be very apparent. Don't neglect the very ownership you have all the time had and will all the time have regardless of what life may bring.

Your body is after-all your temple and your car to interact and enjoy all that life has to offer. Either that may be the taste of foreign cuisine, the sound of laughter from your friends, the feeling of touch when you embrace your children, or that sense of "feeling good" when all is as it should be.

physical health and Fitness


Fun or Fitness

What is physical condition and fitness? Before you know how to attain this you have to first settle what it means to you. It's my notion physical wellbeing is possessing adequate power to live your life free without needing to stress about being unwell, sore or simply feeling too sluggish to do anything. Be assured that even skinny or regular sized folks can be very unhealthy. A great metabolism doesn't make you a wholesome person.

Motivation. This might be the most difficult thing to overcome with regards to becoming or remaining healthy. Men and women are frequently over weight or lethargic because they just can't get motivated to get out there and do the exercising they are aware they should. So how do you get motivated?

There are a few straightforward ways to get motivated to workout. First of all you can workout with a good friend, spouse or even your kids. This advent is very productive as even on days when you don't feel like exercising they are able to supply you with that tiny push you need to just do it anyhow. And there will be days like that, believe me.

Secondly you could endeavor some straightforward subconscious triggers to help you get motivated and remain motivated. Seeing at oneself in the mirror every day to remind oneself the surmise why you're exercising can be effective. Just take a look at your self and picture what your body may be like when you've reached your physical condition and fitness goal. And while you're standing in front of the mirror speak to yourself. Say "I will go for that walk tomorrow." 10 times to yourself. Even when you don't believe it. It is an established method of motivation, utilized by some of the worlds most prosperous businessmen and women.
Exercise to improve your physical health.

Exercising is the key. Cardiovascular exercise is beyond doubt the most productive way to stay in good shape. Walking for 15-30 minutes each day is a good method to raise the broad levels of power each day. So if you're only beginning out take a gad around your block, if that is too far walk to the angle and back again once or twice. Should you get bored swiftly you could just walk for 15 minutes in a direction then convert and walk back home. By doing this you can recognize new streets and keep the walk interesting. Or if you go shopping a lot walk down every department even if you don't need something there.

Some other great exercises for general physical condition and fitness consist of cycling, running, swimming, martial arts, dancing (zumba). Sports like Squash or Badminton are good also. These will supply you with a quick paced hour or two per week of intense workout, that with time will build up your endurance and core level of fitness.
Physical condition and the food you eat.

And lastly diet is important. The less 'bad' food you consume the simpler it's going to be to verbalize a good physical condition standard. Try changing out your white bread for wholemeal. convert your eating habits. Eat only until you're full and place the rest inside the refrigerator for a snack. Try eating five times a day, this has been proven to trigger your metabolism and help with the digestion of food. You might also try including more fruits and vegetables in your diet.

As usual a good diet and regular exercise is the key to good health. Life is waiting for you to live it and good physical condition and fitness will make sure you can for years to come.

health and Fitness Failure Is a choice


Fun or Fitness

I'm sure every person has heard the old saying, "Failure is not an option". Ordinarily it involves some type of spy or soldiery performance movie where the hero has declared that the characters must win at all cost. In life, especially in the area of fitness, however, failure is an option. That is you do have a option to give up or keep going from wherever you find yourself in your journey to condition and fitness.

Failure occurs the moment you quit trying to ensue either it's fitness, business, sports, or anyone in life a man might strive to achieve a obvious goal. Quitting any goal removes all hope that you will ever achieve that goal. As long as you keep intriguing send toward a goal no matter what the odds are against you, you retain the hope of success.

Take away hope, and you take away a person's will and opening at happiness. The hope or promise of something best makes today all the more enjoyable. Don't get discouraged if you try and fail to lose weight, build muscle, ran that mile faster, or anyone your goal is. As long as you get up every morning with that goal still in your heart and mind, and you keep putting one foot in front of the other toward that goal you haven't failed yet. The quitter is the only one who we can say has truly failed. The man that chooses to stop trying, chooses to accept failure.

Considering how vital hope is to the individual, it's prominent to make smaller short term goals to go along with long term goals. Finding success at any level does wonders to motivate and keep us going toward our more long term difficult goals down the line, and it's much easier to reach those small steps than the ones much farther away.

Proverbs 13:12 Kjv
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

While fitness takes a lot of rule and estimation sometimes, don't make it out as an all out war all the time. Having a warrior's mentality toward fitness isn't necessarily a bad thing, but for the sake of not getting burned out, try to keep it fun along the way.

Switch out to dissimilar exercise programs from time to time to keep things fresh even if they don't necessarily directly correlate with your specific fitness goals. Having a wide variety of exercises and fun things to do make it a lot easier to be fit overall. There's a million things a man can do to live a fit life and have fun at the same time. Go walking, bike riding, swimming, play sports, toss a Frisbee, play with your dog, chase the kids, mow the lawn, garden, run, lift weights, chop wood, etc.

Just anyone you do, don't stop. The same thing goes for eating right. If you jump off the wagon and eat ice cream one day, that's no big deal. Just start again the next day, or the very next meal, eating healthy again. Besides, occasionally eating something fattening is fine, but just as I propose in my book, coarse Sense Biblical advent to condition and Fitness, don't bring unhealthy things home. Make drinking a coke, or eating ice cream something you do only on a special occasion. Junk food you take home Ordinarily comes in larger quantities, and, once you have it opened, the temptation to keep eating it will be too great. A serving or two once a week, is one thing, but all day, and part of the next is way too much.

Still even if you mess up a whole day, or even a week don't quit, just get started again. As I've said before, the best way to eat right is not bring junk food home period. Make home a junk food free zone.

In the end, failure is never final, and not even a reality until or unless you allow it to be. As long as you purpose in your heart to keep trying, and mean it, then failure is truly not an option.

Kettle Bell Tabata Training: Fitness In A Four petite routine


Fun or Fitness

For rapid drive and conditioning, Tabata is leading the way. Dr. Izumi Tabata, a Japanese researcher, created this high-intensity, extremely effective workout. It became an immediate hit with sports and fitness enthusiasts after it was touted as the method of ultimate, rapid, whole conditioning by Japanese speed skaters.

Tabata training consists of eight intervals of twenty seconds of maximum intensity workout trailed by ten seconds of idle time. It's far from easy. In fact, it's so demanding that it's leading to expand slowly to avoid overtraining, immoderate fatigue and nausea.

It's the intensity of the exercise that produces the results. Dr. Tabata's test subjects used exercycles. It can be any operation that uses many muscle groups and reaches an intense level of endurance. Kettle bells are extremely excellent for Tabata exercises because they offer a selection of weight and they have portability that turns roughly any location into a suitable place for the four tiny drive training routine.

Kettle bells are also chosen over other exercise tool because they wish the use of supportive, stabilizing muscle groups. They build strength, coordination and balance. There is more body involvement than with barbells or dumbbells. When Tabata is done with a bit heavier weight, it increases lean muscle while burning fat which results in greater muscle density. It's the muscle density that gives the body a defined appearance of fitness.

As with any high-intensity workout routine, it's leading to devote time to warming up and cooling down. Warm-up exercises might include shadow boxing, jumping jacks or jumping rope. The entire purpose is to prepare the heart and the rest of the body for what's to come. Cooling down at the end of the high-intensity habit can consist of stretching exercises, leg lifts and walking.

When first starting out with a Tabata routine, do one high-intensity exercise for ten seconds and then rest for a full twenty seconds. Do it only six times. Consequent this habit for the entire first week. In the second and third weeks, increase the workout to seven times and then eight times total.

Weeks four, five, six and seven should then consist of fifteen seconds of high-intensity exercise followed by fifteen seconds of rest; this will initially be done five times and increase by one repetition each week. Weeks eight through twelve, begin with twenty seconds of exercise followed by ten seconds of rest at four repetitions. increase the repetitions by one each week until ending in the twelfth week with a full eight-repetition set.

Traditionally, Tabata relies on one selected exercise that's repeated throughout the entire eight set. The only absolute requirement is that the exercise must be high-intensity. However, development use of a kettle ball and a complicated habit creates several safe bet exercises. For example, here's one popular Tabata workout routine:
* Twenty seconds of the right arm swing followed by a ten second rest.

* Twenty seconds of the left arm swing followed by a ten second rest.

* Twenty seconds of front squats using the right arm followed by ten seconds of rest.

* Twenty seconds of front squats using the left arm followed by ten seconds of rest.

* Twenty seconds of push press with the right arm followed by ten seconds of rest.

* Twenty seconds of push press with the left arm followed by ten seconds of rest.

* Twenty seconds of a two-armed kettle bell swing followed by ten seconds of rest (repeat again).

It's potential to unblemished all of the Tabata kettle bell exercises for one side of the body before switching sides to continue and then ending the habit with the two-armed swings. Mixing up the habit will keep it fresh. It won't allow the body or the mind to come to be bored.

Tabata kettle bell training is not only for men. Women also use Tabata interval training for the ultimate increase in aerobic, anaerobic and cardio conditioning. One-arm kettle bell swings are ideal for women. They target the hips, thighs and butt areas as the lower body muscles are called upon to preserve the movements. Women have more lower body drive than men while having less upper body strength. This makes them well-suited for this routine:

* Hold a kettle bell by one hand

* Slightly bend the legs; lean forward.

* Lower the kettle bell until it's between the knees.

* Swing the kettle bell upward to about face height while extending the hips.

* Let it fall and return to the starting position.

* Repeat as often as potential while retention proper form for twenty seconds. Rest for ten seconds.

* Repeat with the opposite arm.

* Continue to alternate arms until the completion of four high-intensity intervals with each arm for a total of eight in the set.

Tabatas are commonly tiny to three sessions per week. When part of the goal is to burn fat, it's best to merge them directly after drive training. Otherwise, there's a good possibility that the high-intensity Tabata training won't leave enough vigor in preserve to accomplish the accepted level of drive training needed to profess current muscle mass.

If weight loss isn't part of the goal, Tabatas can be used at any time during the drive training exercises to increase endurance. Mixing the conditioning of Tabatas with drive training is ideal for athletes who might be called upon for sudden bursts of drive and vigor during a game or match. It's tapping into anything reserves you have and putting them into instant play.

Tabata high-intensity interval training has numerous benefits:

* It effectively develops the Vo2 Max (maximum oxygen consumption) which strengthens the heart.

* It increases the Rmr (resting metabolic rate) for a full twenty-four hours after the completion of the routine. This means that calories are burned long after the habit ends.

* When you increase your Vo2 and elevate your Rmr, maintaining the proper nutritional diet results in the loss of body fat.

As an added bonus, the Tabata training method means optimum strength, endurance and conditioning even when there are only four minutes to spare a few times per week. With all of the known benefits and so tiny time to be invested, who can afford to pass it up? Kettle bell Tabata training is not only heart smart; it's just plain smart.

corporeal Fitness and You


Fun or Fitness

Physical fitness is to the human body what fine-tuning is to an engine. It is not a race, it's a pursuit. In its most normal meaning, physical fitness is a normal state of good physical health. It is a foundation for a long and successful life.

Physical fitness is ordinarily measured by periodic tests measuring strength, endurance, agility, coordination, and flexibility. physical fitness is the capacity of the heart, blood vessels, lungs, and muscles to function at optimum efficiency.

It has two meanings -- normal fitness (a state of condition and well-being) and exact fitness (the capability to perform exact aspects of sports or occupations). physical Fitness is important, even on bed rest.

A general-purpose physical fitness schedule must address the following essentials:

Cardiovascular Fitness: It is the capability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to contribute oxygen to muscles while persisting physical activity.

Regular exercises enable more blood to be pumped with each stroke of heart.

Flexibility Training: Stretching increases the range of petition of a joint. It improves suppleness.

Strength Training: impel training is the use of resistance to muscular contraction to build the strength, and size of skeletal muscles.

Muscular Endurance: durableness is the capability to exert for a long duration of time. In humans, it is ordinarily used in aerobic or anaerobic exercise.

Body Composition: In physical fitness, body composition is used to impart the percentages of fat, bone and muscle in human bodies.

Fitness

Fitness, most importantly cardio-respiratory fitness, has been directly correlated to the mortality rate. Fitness can be described as a condition that helps us look, feel, and do our best.

In previous years, fitness was commonly defined as the capacity to carry out the day's activities without undue fatigue. These days, physical fitness is thought about a measure of the body's capability to function efficiently and effectively in work and relaxation activities, to be healthy, to resist diseases, and to meet crisis situations.

Many sources also cite mental and emotional condition as an prominent part of full, fitness. This is often presented in textbooks as a triangle made up of three sub-sections, which relate physical, emotional, and mental fitness.

Physical fitness involves the performance of the heart, lungs, and muscles. And, since what we do with our bodies also affects what we can do with our minds, fitness influences to some degree qualities such as mental alertness and emotional stability.

People ordinarily prefer walking for fitness activities followed in order by: swimming, fishing, bicycle riding, camping, golf, bowling, exercise equipment, hiking, hunting, aerobics, calisthenics, jogging, and tennis. Women prefer fitness-related indoor activities and men prefer outdoor sports.

The top level of physical fitness tends to mesh physiology and psychology. The exercises enhance function of the muscular and skeletal systems, enhance circulation, augment energy and elevate full, individual levels of fitness. The level of physical fitness can be influenced by regular, systematic exercise.

As energy depends on nutrition, proper nourishment is prominent to physical fitness. If diet is not adequate, the fitness level will drop. Overweight, underweight, and weak individuals will have below mean fitness levels.

Hockey Drills - Off Ice Fitness and Skating Drills to improve Speed and Power on the Ice


Fun or Fitness

Hockey drills aren't something that you have to leave behind when you step off the ice. There are abundance of ways that players serious about improving their game can work themselves off of the ice to simulate on ice situations, and to make gains in the areas that absolutely matter while games. Here are some great drills you can do off-ice to make your a more dominant player when you hit the rink.

Interval Running

Interval running (or stationary biking) is a great dryland exercise because it'll enhance your speed and quickness, and also help condition you for games. You can do ladder drills where you change the duration of work and rest as you go, or you can do set duration intervals. A great one to do is 45 seconds of hard work followed by about a small and a half of lower intensity work. This simulates the real life intervals you touch in a game with shifts and bench rest.

Shooting Races

This one is great to do if you're training with a teammate that you can race against, but if you're by yourself you can just try and beat your own time. All you need is somewhere you have room to run and set up a net. Set up a net with four targets and a set of pucks (or balls). Then set a marker at least 100m away. The goal of the drill is to do four sprints to the 100m mark and back, hitting one of the targets each time. Keep track of times and always try and beat your last best time.

Inline Drills

One great way of conditioning yourself while the off-season is to strap on a good pair of inline skates and simulate your on-ice drills that way. The strike for home you'll use on inline skates is slightly different to that of ice skates, and you'll need a concentrate sessions to adjust, but the muscles you use for both is exactly the same. That means for fitness and conditioning purposes, inline skates are a excellent substitute for ice skate and will work all the same muscles you need for game time.

Hockey Fitness For 8-11 Year Old Players - 3 Top Tips For Young Kids Hockey Training


Fun or Fitness

Hockey fitness for 8-11 year old kids may seem like something unimportant but it's not, and in reality, it's something every parent and coach should be working into young players' hockey schedules. Not only will training help the kids perform better on the ice, boosting their belief and in turn their love of the game, but instilling a love for fitness in kids at a young age will help to ensure they grow up to be wholesome adults as well. Here are three very leading things to think when it comes to fitness training for young hockey players.

It has to be fun or there isn't any point...

You verily need to find a way to make fitness training fun for the young players or else all it's going to do is sour them on the game and they won't see the results from it that they would if it was enjoyable. Make working out or doing dry-land training a fun taste and the kids will excel. The best way to do this is to have the kids workout as a team, or at least with one other teammate. Make it a competition or a fun challenge and they'll jump all over it.

Remember that kids aren't adults...

8-11 year old kids (and young teens as well) aren't industrialized enough to work out the same way that kids 15 and over, and adults do. In fact having a young kid do the same workout as a fully industrialized teen or adult is verily detrimental and will hinder them more than it will help them. It's still massively leading for kids to start training early, and it has huge benefits for them on the ice and in life, but you have to be sure that the workouts they're doing are right for their age group.

Follow a schedule designed for hockey...

If you don't have a coach or a trainer with exact knowledge in fitness training for kids, specifically training with hockey in mind, then your best bet is to succeed a program. You can hire a trainer to compose a program, but that can be very costly. The other great selection is to succeed a pre-designed hockey exact program.

The 5 components of corporal fitness are often used in our school systems, condition clubs and fitness centers to gauge how good a shape we are truly in. The 5 components that make up total fitness are:

Cardiovascular endurance
Muscular force
Muscular endurance
Flexibility
Body compound

Total fitness can be defined by how well the body performs in each one of the components of corporal fitness as a whole. It is not adequate to be able to bench press your body weight. You also need to decree how well you can deal with running a mile etc.
A closer look at the private components:

Cardiovascular endurance is the quality of the heart and lungs to work together to furnish the needed oxygen and fuel to the body while sustained workloads. Examples would be jogging, cycling and swimming. The Cooper Run is used most often to test cardiovascular endurance.

Muscular force is the whole of force a muscle can produce. Examples would be the bench press, leg press or bicep curl. The push up test is most often used to test muscular strength.

Muscular endurance is the quality of the muscles to accomplish continuous without fatiguing. Examples would be cycling, step machines and elliptical machines. The sit up test is most often used to test muscular endurance.

Flexibility is the quality of each joint to move through the available range of appeal for a definite joint. Examples would be stretching private muscles or the quality to accomplish safe bet functional movements such as the lunge. The sit and reach test is most often used to test flexibility.

Body compound is the whole of fat mass compared to lean muscle mass, bone and organs. This can be measured using underwater weighing, Skinfold readings, and bioelectrical impedance. Underwater weighing is determined the "gold standard" for body fat measurement, any way because of the size and charge of the equipment needed very few places are set up to do this kind of measurement.

Why the need for corporal fitness testing?

As stated earlier the 5 components of corporal fitness characterize how fit and healthy the body is as a whole. When you have the battery of tests performed you will receive facts on the definite areas you made need to work in. A very definite goal oriented fitness program can be advanced from the test battery.

If body compound is of (higher fat compared to muscle mass) there are many condition associated diseases and illnesses you have a higher opening of contracting. It is foremost to concentrate healthy eating habits with your exercise program.

If you scored low on the cardiovascular test you would have a higher opening of being at risk for heart associated illnesses and would not do well with activities that require longer times to complete. You would participate in things such as long bike rides, swimming and jogging for extended periods of time to exact this component.

The next three tests can have results that are isolated to definite joints and muscles of the body or sway the body as a whole.

If you score low on the flexibility tests, you have a greater opening of decreased operation in daily living activities/sports and a higher risk of injury. You may also caress low back pain. It would be foremost to included flexibility training into your workout everyday.

If you scored low on the muscular endurance test you fatigue early into the exercise or activities of daily living. Many exercises that require high reps and low weight would be implemented into your training program.

If you scored low on the muscle force test you do not have adequate force to accomplish well in sports, resistance training and activities of daily living. Your fitness program would have a progressive force training component added that would allow you to become stronger with tiny opening of injury over time.

Fitness testing has its limitations - while it gives you a good idea of where your body is, it does not paint the entire picture. As stated earlier some of the above tests are only testing definite body parts. Other foremost factors such as balance and agility are not tested. It also requires the quality to accomplish the tests. It would be risky for man who is in poor condition and does not exercise to participate in fitness testing.
