Fitness is not only about health it’s about self-love, power and strength. When it comes to being fit, for women, it is taking strength in everything you do, be it a morning run, a yoga practice or working out at the gym. It’s about taking advantage of your body and making it the best version of you.
Why Women Need To Get Fit?
Exercise is essential for every woman at any age. Not only does it benefit the body by reducing the incidence of long-term diseases such as heart disease and osteoporosis, but it also benefits the mind. Exercise releases the “feel-good” endorphins that combat stress, anxiety and depression.
Fitness is not only healthy, it is also a boost to confidence. The more you push your body and see what it can do, the more success and confidence you create, which carries over to everything else.
Finding What Works for You
Fitness is not one-size-fits-all. The trick is to do something you love and that works with your schedule. A hiking or cycling trip is maybe just what you need if you love the outdoors. For socially inclined folks, there are group workouts like Zumba or Pilates where you can be inspired and encouraged.
A women’s forgotten method to create muscle, enhance bone density and boost metabolism is strength training. Women are not bulimic, believe it or not, because they gain muscle from doing weights.
Overcoming Barriers
From time pressures from parents to body image issues, fitness is a different story for women. The point is to stick with yourself and fitness is no deal. Take it easy, be realistic and keep in mind regularity is more important than intensity.
Celebrating Progress, Not Perfection
Fitness isn’t about getting into a certain body type; it’s about being fit, healthy and energetic. Mark every milestone, whether that be a mile longer, or a weight more often, or just being a little more fit throughout the day. Moving forward is personal, and there are no two ways around it.
Building a community
A good support group is everything. Join a gym or internet community of women who are sharing their exercise tips. Motivation and collective experience are a positive and motivating environment.
Everything you do to make your life a fitter, healthier and more capable you. Let it be, celebrate where you are and be strong in every single step.
