Fitness is the essence of a man. Fitness is the ability of a person to do his normal
everyday tasks with full alertness and vigor without worrying about fatigue afterward
and with extra energy in reserve which can be useful when emergencies arise or during
leisure and recreation. Overall fitness must be the primary goal every man must try
to achieve. In fitness, no one is ever too young or too old for improvement.

One's fitness can be improved by engaging in aerobic exercises and through strength
training. There are three components of overall fitness that every man must focus on
working out in order to be in healthy, tip-top shape. These are cardiovascular work,
strength training and of course, these should be coupled with a healthy diet.

Staying strong by building muscles. Man's fitness regimen should include a work out
routine which aims to build the muscles. Aging causes a decrease in muscle mass of
five to seven pounds (2-3.2 kgs) of muscle for every ten years in one's adult life
given that he lives an inactive lifestyle. Truly, the saying "use it or lose it" is
very applicable to the muscles. Fortunately, there is a good solution to this. Loss
of muscle mass can be replaced by engaging in strength training.

Improvement of Man's fitness by cardiovascular work out. Flexibility exercises, strength
training and cardiovascular work out surely help boost a man's fitness and all these
should be part of a man's work out scheme. But of all these, cardiovascular work is the
most necessary. Exercises under cardiovascular work conditions and develops the
cardiovascular system and also works out large muscle groups.

So if a man does not have much time for working out, devoting whatever free time he might
have to aerobic exercises would do him fine. He might have to put off developing those
biceps but so long as cardiovascular work out exercises are done, then the blood pressure,
heart and cholesterol levels will be fine to keep you staying happy and healthy.

The essence of nutrition to man's fitness. It is best and well recommended to eat
whole and natural foods frequently than to eat large amounts in one to three sittings.
Always keep variety in mind when doing the shopping. This will ensure that one is getting
most if not all of the nutrients and minerals needed by the body to keep fit and healthy.
Always keep the three important macronutreints in the diet; these are fats, carbohydrates
and proteins. Prioritize proteins though over carbohydrates but never exclude any one of
the three on some fad diet.

Some tips in keeping a man's fitness level high, efficient and safe:

1.) Drink plenty of water all through out the day, especially when working out.

2.) Do exercises properly using the correct techniques, whether it's weight lifting or
aerobic exercises. Always read and understand, and follow of course, the instructions
outlined by the personal trainer.

3.) Make sure the is always a spotter when lifting weights.

4.) Challenge the muscles, but make sure that it's kept safe.

5.) Stretch, warm-up prior to working out and cool-down gradually after sessions.

6.) Check the equipment for safety before using them.

7.) It is better to do less than overdo the whole thing. Overtraining will exhaust
enthusiasm and kill performance.
