Why Fitness Is Such A Good Catalyst To Enhance Your Capabilities

I believe that it is common for most people to go through life without truly understanding what it means to tap into even an inch of their latent potential.  Without being able to adequately relate to the physical nature of your capabilities, it would be impossible for you to exert a tenacious attitude towards your goals. After a civilization of sedentary folks have hammered in your head that you are incapable of ascending beyond society's perception of what it means to be successful and happy; you have been essentially brainwashed into believing that it is the way that it should be. But it is important you understand that we are apart of a society that people are unable to relate fully to themselves. This is the only era throughout the history of civilization that severe health epidemics have emerged because of a lack of physical activity, a sedentary lifestyle and bad nutritional habits. Industrialization has made us less human than ever. It would be impossible for you to relate to your capabilities without fully exploring all avenues of experiential learning.

In all aspects , the mind and body both work together synergetically to most efficiently carry out functions.

The human body is a system, and like any efficient system it is comprised of functions that work together in a cohesive pattern to optimize performance and output. In the most basic sense these functions primarily include the acquisition of thought and most importantly movement. A sedentary society; disassociated from movement is considered excessively 'neurotic' because people are forced to compensate for their lack of physical activity in other ways. Henceforth the traditional educational system is most suitable for people who are better able to associate with learning via visual and auditory means; in complete absence of kinesthetic awareness. Most people lack kinesthetic awareness because they are completely disassociated with what it means to relate to their physical capabilities. The inability to understand what your body is capable of, and to push it towards it's own capabilities will stunt your ability to become better than you are today. It will stunt your ability to think and function effectively. Your cognitive ability will greatly diminish as you continue to neglect the health and sanctity of your body. You will also not fully understand the type of dedication, discipline or relentless consistency involved in igniting dramatic physical change. When you begin to understand this; suddenly new goals become more easily achievable. When you look at the average person who is unable to climb a flight of stairs without becoming completely winded; you will immediately know that the results of your efforts will greatly translate to any other endeavor. Suddenly the sky will be the limit and you will forget the limitations which were previously imposed upon you. 

Some of those issues that are strongly correlated to a sedentary lifestyle include poor nutritional choices, low levels of motivation and an increased risk of anxiety and depression. Setting fitness goals does help to effectively reverse most of these issues because there is an element of accountability involved. For you to achieve your fitness goals; you need to have the commitment make better nutritional choices. You need to tell yourself that you are going to adhere to a certain nutritional and workout amalgamation for a specific period of time in order to achieve your goals. Already; you are setting goals that can; and will be achieved considering that you commit to them. Particularly for the previously sedentary person; there is a reward mechanism that goes beyond simply seeing physical changes over a period of time. The endorphin and serotonin release that is associated with intense physical activity is self rewarding; and automatically it will keep you motivated to continuously push towards your goals. Through exercise you are essentially creating significant physiological changes to your brain chemistry which reinforces other good habits. This renewed level of motivation will eventually spill over into other facets of your life including your job, personal relationships and assist in nurturing further self improvement. 

A sedentary lifestyle is poisonous.  You might not realize it because you had the same nutritional habits for as long as you could remember. You might have spent everyday for the past 6-8 years working a desk job; sitting in front of the computer or television during your off time, it is likely that you won't realize how much of a disservice that kind of lifestyle does for you. You won't realize the type of brain fog you get; or how exhausted you are after walking for five minutes. The reason your joints ache all the time and you have to take frequent visits to your doctor is because you have been neglecting the most vital aspect of your life; your health and wellness. If you have been sedentary your whole life, you are greatly missing out on the benefits that fitness has to offer. In fact simply following a moderate, progressive exercise routine combined with good nutritional habits could potentially be the one small change that could turn your life around.
