Being Fit is a State of Mind
What kind of choices do you make that
influence your state of fitness? Do you choose to eat a Big Mac at
lunch versus a fruit salad and skinless chicken sandwich without
the mayo? Do you choose to drink 3 or 4 cups of coffee instead of
drinking any water?
Have you ever wondered who has the responsibility for you being
fit? Is it your parents, your doctor, your boss? Nope, you are
responsible for whether or not you are fit. When we are kids we had
little control over what foods appeared on the table. We did
however control what we put into our mouths. Even as babies we spit
out what we did not like, much to the chagrin of our parents. As
kids we loved to play and exercise came naturally to us as we ran
outside, jumped rope or rode our bikes. We exercised because it was
fun. As we age, exercise becomes more of a chore and our food
choices are numerous many of them choices that are not healthy for
us. We age and become more capable of making food and exercise
choices on our own. The choices we make fit determine how fit we
are. Did you ever stop and wonder how we make our choices? Are we
fit or unhealthy because of where we live, who are friends are, or
where we work? Do we make poor choices because we believe
commercials on TV or the radio? Our minds are a wonderful piece of
machinery that influences the outcome of our lives. We make
decisions everyday that have either a negative or positive impact
on our life.

It is not safe to scuba dive during pregnancy because scuba diving can create gas bubbles in your baby's blood that can cause many different health issues.
Pregnant women should start out exercising slowly, and gradually progress in intensity up to a moderate exertion level. They should always warm-up and cool down. One way to determine if you are moderately exerting yourself is that you should still be able to talk during exercising. If you are unable to talk while exercising you are probably exerting yourself too much.

What choices do you make when it comes to exercise? When
entering the building do you head for the elevator or the stairs?
Do you park near the entrance of a building or do you park far away
so you have to walk to the entrance? Do you walk to the corner
store or do you drive your car?
We make choices everyday that have an impact on our health, on
whether or not we gain weight or lose it, and that influence our
potential for heart disease, diabetes and other diseases.
Do you have the mindset for a healthy body, one that is fit,
trim and fully functioning? Do you instead have a mindset that
brings junk food and a sedentary lifestyle into your daily
routine?
Being fit is a state of mind because how we think about
nutrition and exercise influences what choices we make regarding
the foods we eat and the types and amounts of exercise we get each
day. Every day we have another chance to make healthy lifestyle
choices concerning to smoke or not, to drink alcoholic beverages or
not and to eat candy, high sugar and fat content foods or not. We
choose to drink sodas and coffee or to drink water and milk.
We are influenced in our choices by what we see, hear and
witness throughout our life. We were influenced in our eating
habits and the foods we grew accustomed to by the foods and eating
habits of our parents. Those habits can be replaced with other
habits either healthier ones or ones that are unhealthy. Being fit
is a choice we make and an action we take based on what our mind
says is good or bad.
