Fitness and a Healthy Lifestyle Personal Project 2017

What is this Guide about?
This guide will be about fitness, types of exercises and how to do them, diets and foods and
some Recommendations from me about these topics and different workouts which I will
introduce.
So what Is fitness? Well, fitness as many people see it would be something like being able
to swim a for a mile or being able to do 50 push-ups but these things just focus on one
component on fitness, obviously these are all important but fitness is much more, the
United States Department of Health and Human Services categorizes Fitness into five
categories, these are Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance,
Body Composition and Flexibility. In this guide I will not be looking at all of these categories,
I will be looking at Muscular Strength and Endurance to be precise, the reason for this being
that those are the two most people see when they hear the term Fitness, as well as the fact
that these two are the largest components of fitness.
What types of exercises will I find in this guide? This guide will be focusing on something
called home workouts, which basically means fitness and workout without equipment. This
is becoming a very popular type of workout because more and more people are finding
time to go to the gym and exercise there. These workouts are mainly focused on things like
push-ups, sit-ups squats etc.
What is diets and foods about? Well believe it or not the way we eat makes a major
influence on the way our body develops. That is why you might hear the saying “The body is
made in the Kitchen” when it comes to fitness gurus. This statement does have a lot of
meaning because it is true to an extent, yes you can influence muscle building through your
diet and yes it does make it more affective, but you can’t just eat and expect to build up
your muscles, or lose weight. It has to be a good balance between both, exercise and diet.
What kind of recommendations will I expect? The recommendation section of this report
will come from me personally, that is the section where I will talk about all the exercises
that have had the most effect on me personally, by this I mean that these exercises will be
the ones where my muscle growth was the highest and where I had the most success out of
