Hey guys! Fitness Should Be Fun!
You already know how to be fit. So just do it.
I'll make this short. Nike was right! Their classic slogan "Just Do It' is bang on. The escense of fitness is in "just doing it" and it doesn't much matter what activity "it" is or how good you are at doing "it".
I believe that nearly everyone already knows how to get and stay fit. I also believe that most of those people are not aware of that fact. They'll very often claim that they need to know more in order to workout correctly, precisely effectively. So, until they can do it perfectly, they won't do it at all. The trouble is, our heads are filled with too many fitness facts and figures, techniques and rules, numbers and guidelines, products and accessories. And the more some of us know the more we think we don't know enough. And the more hesitant we are to act on that knowledge and, in fact to do anything.
But if I asked you to tell me, off the top of your head, what you thought were the main things you should do to become and keep fit, you'd tell me: "Exercise regularly, eat right and get enough rest". You would, of course, be right. If I then asked you to list some specific exercises and activities, healthy foods and how much rest you should be getting, I'll bet even very unfit people would be able to tell me that, and more. But for some reason, just knowing does not lead to action.
I would like you, dear members to enlighten me as to why this is so. How many of you have fussed over precisely what you need to know, do and buy before you can start to become fit. (What exercises, how many repetitions, how much weight, how many days, how long each day, when and what to eat before and after a workout, what to wear - it goes on and on.)
Then again, some of you may realize that this is a trick question. What I really want you to do - right now - is stop reading, push yourself away from the computer, and "just do it"!

Remember, It's Gotta Be Fun ... or it's just exercise.
