Fitness is a condition that helps people feel and do their best. Fitness helps our bodies perform what we need, whether it is enjoying a walk, doing household tasks or running a marathon. When you set your fitness goals, you should consider your skills, age, fitness level and health. When you start out slowly, you will slowly progress to the higher levels.

&nbsp;
Whether you are new to fitness or a fitness-guru, you should always start with a warm-up and end with a cool-down. A warm-up includes ten to fifteen minutes of low-intensity activity, such as jogging, walking, arm circles, trunk rotations or knee lifts. A cool-down includes ten minutes of low-level exercise, slow walking and stretching. As a rule of thumb, you should try to perform moderate intensity activity most days of the week, for example, do brisk walking.

&nbsp;
Fitness is available to anyone. Everyone can increase their level of fitness if they have motivation and willingness to adjust their lifestyle to their fitness goals.
