Developing A Customized Fitness Plan

By Scott Rogers


The definition of fitness depends on individual goals and preferences. This explains why some people are comfortable with weight while others only want a lean body. Others are comfortable with any body as long as they are not straining in daily activities. Further, individuals bodies respond differently to exercises, foods and other attempts to keep fit. The best approach therefore is to have a customized fitness plan.

A personal goal is the foundation for any fitness plan. During planning, consider your current position and where you would like to be in the next week, month, year, etc. You may want to add weight, shed some or have a body that is manageable. Other goals include boosting your energy levels to make it easier to fulfill your duties on daily basis. Planning should be informed by personal targets.

Any fitness journey will require investment in time and resources. It is not a must that you register into a gym or purchase expensive equipment. With minimum resources, you can manage to stay fit without compromising on your health or safety. Find a park or field where you can jog. Improvise around the house for weights and stretching facilities. You may also choose a minimum gym package and supplement it with improvised options.

Remaining fit should not come at the expense of your health. Consult your physician to avoid straining the body unnecessarily. There are cardio exercises that are risky and should only be conducted under supervision. Consult your doctor for health or lifestyle adjustments that need to be made as a result of the developed plan.

Workout sessions require sufficient time to be effective. This means investing a number of hours on regular basis. They should be hours where you can concentrate and produce the best. Do not be in a rush to complete an exercise. You will be exposed to injuries either because you are not paying attention or have skipped certain steps. Commit certain hours and avoid excuses to skip exercise.

Diet is an integral part of any fitness plan. Muscles and tissues strain and are torn during exercise. The body requires the right nutrients to ensure full recovery. The energy that is spent in the gym must also be replenished. By working with a nutritionist you will find an arrangement that assists you to meet your goals and still remain healthy.

Remaining fit will require you to engage in common activities like jogging, workout in the gym, stretching, etc. These activities require a lot of motivation to attend consistently. It is motivating to join a team. The team offers moral support and challenges you whenever you slack. It is this challenge that will keep you focused and enable you to meet your goals. Joining a team does not mean that you abandon your personal goals.

Some of the planned goals will be met while others will not. This is a reality that everyone must live with. To avoid frustration or stagnation, adjust the goals accordingly. This helps you to challenge the body and thus remain fit. In case you are experiencing a challenge in some areas, seek the assistance of a professional.
