General fitnessPhysical fitness is the result of regular physical activity, proper diet and nutrition, and proper rest for physical recovery within the parameters allowed by the genome.
Many sources also cite mental and emotional health as an important part of overall fitness. This is often presented in textbooks as a triangle made up of three sub-sections which represent physical, emotional, and mental fitness. Hence, one may be physically fit but may still suffer from a mental illness or have emotional problems. The "ideal triangle" is balanced in all areas. Workout equipment is something that all people can use. More than half of all Americans are overweight because of a lack of exercise. Two of the most commonly cited reasons for not exercising are that gyms are so far away and embarrassment at initial workout attempts. By having a home workout center, people will eliminate both barriers to working out. Physical fitness provides more than just the ability to do something. People who are fitter are healthier and lead better lives. Many of the leading causes of death are lifestyle diseases that can be cured by simply exercise. For example, both heart disease, the number one killer last year, and Type 2 diabetes are directly related to lack of exercise. So while a home fitness center may appear to be expensive, it is actually very cheap compared to a lifetime of medication to treat the illnesses that accompany a lack of exercise.
