Be Prepared through Fitness and Exercise

Fitness and Exercise

Fitness and Exercise are essential to maintaining a proper balance/lifestyle.  One of the additional benefits is that you will be more prepared for emergencies, such as if you need to help lift items, move sand bags, help clean up after a disaster, or walk/run to necessary locations to get help.

"Exercising physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual abilities is required to not only maintain but also improve these abilities. Without exercise, these abilities diminish. Furthermore, fitness in one area can strongly influence fitness in another. For example, improving physical fitness enhances mental, emotional, and even spiritual acuity.

"Specific exercises are designed to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and aerobic capacity. But every exercise must be tailored to meet a person’s individual requirements, such as age. Where weight bearing is a problem, water exercises are helpful. Chair and desk exercises are useful for those who spend long hours in a sitting position. There are many exercises and activities like these that are inexpensive and can fit the budget of almost anyone." - http://providentliving.org/self-reliance/health/exercise-and-fitness (Additional resources at the provided link.)
