When we talk of exercise, staying fit, the image of a slim person immediately comes to our mind. We
all view staying fit as staying thin, but this is not necessarily true. Many young women now with the
advent of the modern age, even men are obsessed with staying thin, good looking as they term it. A
person can be fit even though he or she may seem to be obese to the rest of the world. Exercise is
the key to keep oneself fit. Exercise is not necessarily standing at one place and moving your arms
and legs as the one used to do in school. One can incorporate exercise into or along with any activity
one enjoys. Dancing is an exercise provided that the pace is fast, climbing upstairs is another way to
reduce or come back to an earlier level of fitness, but overdoing it can cause knees to pain. One can
do power walks as well as an exercise in order to stay fit.
Exercise must be combined with a proper diet. Regular exercise is not a license for unhealthy eating
habits. At times one does indulge in a binge but it should be once in a while only. One’s diet should
be well packaged with proteins, carbohydrates as well as minerals.
