Feel Good Fitness:-

The seven essential lifestyle choices for a long, healthy life are getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, exercising, maintaining a healthy body weight, abstaining from smoking, using alcohol in moderation, and taking care of one’s mental health this is called Feel Good Fitness.

Physical Fitness as Defined

It is not enough for someone to only look good and feel good in order to be called physically fit. An individual should consider the kind of lifestyle he/she has including the food he/she takes every day for these can lead him/her to better health.

This month, we’re honoring the movement that inspires you and questioning the idea that doing so should make you look a specific way.

When I was three years old, I was a gym rat.

Having a single mother as a child meant that I frequently had to accompany her to work, hair appointments, choir rehearsals, and yes, even the gym.

My mother taught aerobics at night and worked for a utility business during the day. Her favorite thing to do, her preferred method of relieving stress, and the place where she felt most at home was teaching those sessions.

I used the child care area at the gym by default. As ancient as leg warmers and lycra leotards, I have happy recollections of crafts with the adolescents who watched over me and of killing time by watching racquetball matches with my nose pushed against the court glass.

I began attending my mother’s classes as I got older, and I was always the youngest student there. I eventually began to see fitness as more than just something my mom enjoyed as a teenager in the midst of preprofessional dance training. I also found it enjoyable.

Fitness was just something we did as early as I can recall. It was an integral part of our way of life, not just a pastime, habit, or duty. That lesson was a gift in and of itself.

Moving away from the mirror

Furthermore, I learned from my mom’s fitness journey that you may achieve true fitness by concentrating solely on your smile when you look in the mirror.

Unbelievably, my mother used to be a Shape Magazine success story due to her significant weight loss. But, as it frequently happens for so many of us, losing weight for the sake of appearing a certain way proved challenging to sustain over time.

I know my mom struggled since she didn’t think she looked like an aerobics instructor from the 1980s. She didn’t think of herself as the epitome of fitness and was constantly afraid that others would think less of her because of it.

However, what I remember is different. Her zeal, vitality, and musical taste were adored by her students. They cherished her kindness and acceptance of everyone who entered the space.

Simply because of the happy atmosphere and sense of community she fostered, they continued to attend her sessions. You could tell my mother was having a great time instructing those classes.

Neither she nor the people she instructed were motivated to pursue health by looking “the part.” Instead, it was her happiness.

Developing a fitness lifestyle

My fitness journey as an adult has taken unexpected turns. My career as a professional dancer was derailed by a knee injury, but it led me to the Pilates studio, where I found a new passion—first as a student, then as an instructor, and finally as a master trainer.

I’ve always found it fascinating that my professional route continued where my mother’s enthusiasm ended; it’s definitely more than a coincidence.

Over the years, as a participant, trainer, and editor, I have experimented with many different exercise approaches. I’ve repeatedly discovered that you won’t succeed in fitness if you don’t love it. And the best way to ensure that you’ll remain with it is to design your lifestyle around healthy movement.

The best fitness is when you feel happy.

As we examine the concept of “feel good fitness” this month, we wanted to concentrate on more than simply the many advantages of exercise. We are aware that being physically active makes us feel well, but fitness is also influenced by feeling good.

The ideal exercise for you, in my opinion, is to move in a way that suits your particular body since you’ll want to do it again and again. A habit will form organically as opposed to being forced.

In light of this, this month we look at the advantages of physical activity outside of the gym, such dance, hiking, and tai chi, and physical therapist Marcy Crouch shares her passion for horseback riding.

Traditional HIIT, cycling, and yoga courses are also very beneficial to your body, mind, and soul.

Everyone benefits from exercise, regardless of appearance. In order to achieve this, we are questioning the conventional #fitspo imagery. People that show that everyone can be fit, regardless of size, race, age, or ability, encourage us.
