Women’s bodies differ from men’s in far more than the obvious features: Women’s brains are structured differently from men’s, built for greater pain tolerance so that they can endure the rigors of childbirth.  Women’s cardiovascular systems also differ from men’s, built more for stamina than for quick, short bursts of strength.  Some evolutionists claim this adaptation suits women for the work of hunting and gathering, but your results may vary.  Similarly, women are designed and built to do more work with their legs, so that they do not develop upper body strength as quickly and easily as men do.  Competitive swimmers amply illustrate this difference as the men generate most of their speed with their arms while the women power through the water with their kicks.  

Naturally, it follows then that a woman’s physical conditioning should not be a cheap, brand-X imitation of a man’s; instead, a woman’s workout should be tailor-made to fit her body’s requirements and to suit her fitness goals.  Experts say the more a woman focuses on what she can do, the more she feels motivated to increase and intensify her fitness challenges, because a body can always go further, faster, and better.  They go on to stress, though, that the focus on doing affects a woman’s outlook on everything of value in her life, because it teaches the precedence of performance over appearance.

 Focus on two important fitness principles.

Focus on doing rather than looking.  Women typically set their fitness goals according to ideal weight charts and dream dress sizes, sabotaging their motivation even before they begin working out.  Exercise physiologists insist women should let go of their pre-occupation with how their bodies look, focusing instead on what their bodies can do.  For example, the experts recommend women declare, “By the end of the month, I want to be able to walk three miles in under one-half hour,” instead of stressing over declarations like “I want to be size 6 by the wedding.”  The actual outcomes may be the same, but the focus changes the psychology of exercise, taking the vanity and narcissism out of it, redirecting the motivation to “self-efficacy”—confidence about strength and competency.  Both physiologists and psychologists say that one change fundamentally changes everything about women’s workouts.

 Commit to being fit.  The principle bears repeating: Women must make a serious commitment to everyday fitness.  Three serious health problems commonly afflict American women, and custom-made workouts contribute to preventing all three: First, consistent with larger trends in the population, approximately two-thirds of American women qualify as “obese”—their body mass indexes exceed 26.  You can find your body mass index using any of hundreds of online charts.  Second, women are as susceptible to heart disease and high blood pressure as men, but they typically are not as sensitive to the problems as men.  Third, despite far greater public awareness of the risks associated with osteoporosis, few women exercise and nourish their bodies with respect for both health.

Three fundamentals of a woman’s workout.

The most popular fitness programs for women generally are built around three fundamental requirements of a productive workout, but very few clearly articulate the principles in any way that empowers women to build their own conditioning programs.  The defect is easily corrected.  Every daily workout should include: (1)at least twenty minutes of rhythmic, repetitive endurance  training—walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming. (2)low-weight/high-repetition strength training especially for the upper body—the Nautilus machine remains the best piece of fitness equipment any gym ever installed.  (3) comprehensive stretching—a focused, intensive yoga practice remains the best way to stretch and nourish every muscle group in a woman’s body. 

Of course, post-modern professional women feel unprecedented demands on their time and energy, so that it seems easy to forego daily workouts in the interest of getting things done for work and the family.  Physicians and psychologists stress, however, that women are actually more productive and efficient when they carve-out time for regular exercise.  Most working women find that endurance training before work helps them wake-up and focus; and they similarly find that strength training and stretching after work help them make the transition from office to home, releasing their stress and redirecting their attention.

“A healthy mind lives in a healthy body”. Fitness is quite a rage now-a-days. However, only a small percentage of people are aware of what the term “fitness” is all about. To define fitness: Fitness is the ability of the body to do work without encountering much fatigue. In general terms, fitness means the well-being state of a person’s health. It depends on the diet intake, the exercises performed by an individual during his everyday life, personal habits, etc. These factors primarily define the sate of alertness with which an individual can perform tasks.

A closer look shows that proper functioning of the various body systems is the essential component of defining how fit a person is. It includes that the heart must pump sufficient oxygen and delivers it at the requisite rate to all body parts. Next, if the muscles constituting the muscular system are flexible and do not get fatigued quickly, this satisfies the next level of being ‘fit’. Lastly, if requirement of the components of the body, in the correct quantity is met by daily food intake, a person can be said to be fit. The above stated criteria depend on the following variables which largely determine a person’s fitness.

The primary factor leading to not only physical fitness but also general fitness, on the whole, is the diet of a person. The food one eats, its nature and amount is what matters. This can be explained clearly by the term balanced diet. If nutrients such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, salts and fiber are taken in wholesome amount, that is, as is required by the body, it is called a balanced diet. The constituents and quantity of a balanced diet varies from person to person, depending on the work type and body type of each person.

A laborer who does a lot of physical work, for example, would need more of energy and hence the intake of carbohydrates should ideally be more than those consumed by a person who sits in an office all day long. The other factor which is necessary for physical fitness is exercise. This too, depends upon the work type and body type of the individual. But it must be kept in mind that exercise does not always mean losing weight. Foremost, exercise means to keep the body parts in perfect functioning condition. One must be aware of all facts to keep fit in real terms.

Walking is a form of exercise, which is the key to complete daily fitness.
It has plethora of benefits associated with it. Walking is the best way to stay in shape and build your stamina; it’s like a complete package of exercise which includes cardio as well as weight bearing exercise, because when we walk we carry the weight of our body, something other forms of workout like cycling, weight lifting, etc are not able to provide.

Walking can help cure several problems and prevent even more from happening. We can say if fitness was made available in a single capsule then walking would be the most vital ingredient of all. Walking helps reduce weight, which is very serious problem, nowadays; so many children are obese which can cause serious health related issues in their future.

It is a proven fact that walking for half an hour a day can reduce the risk of heart attack by up to 30%. Walking also helps control diabetes and there are many other advantages like when you sweat during walking it improves the health of your skin, it burns calories, assists respiratory problems and above all it helps to increase the muscle strength and endurance of the body.

In today’s fast-paced world, most people hardly get time to relax and think about their body, so walking is generally not a part of their routine, but we need to realise that without a healthy body we will not survive in this ever-demanding world. In the modern era, most people prefer to use a treadmill rather than going out for a walk. Treadmill helps save people time and they can exercise from their homes only. However, using a treadmill is never the same as walking outdoors, one can never burn the same amount of calories on a treadmill as he/she can outdoors.

When someone is running on a treadmill there is certain amount of work that the treadmill is also doing and there is no air resistance as there is in open spaces. Walking outdoors is more beneficial than treadmill because it challenges out body to maintain it stability when we come across steps, curbs or small obstacles, also when using a treadmill we can never go downhill, which is also very important because that targets a completely different set of muscles. Therefore, if you can find a safe place and a little time for walking, there is nothing better for your body.

Walking is the most natural exercise in the world; it cost nothing and has no disadvantages.
