When you exercise you exercise your heart.\nHave you not noticed that the people that are not very active are having more heart attacks.\n\nAlso if you are not over weight, it is easier on your pall bearers that have to carry your coffin.

i would prefer a sound mind to a strong body.because it s the mind that controls the body and not the other way round.so i would have a sound mind that would ensure that i have a fit body

Only if you aren't already. Seriously, no it isn't everything. Being fit is much more important than being skinny.

i think it is the desire to fit in. people want to fit in and is being overweight was i then that pressure wouldnt be as high but what alot of people forget is no body is the same. we need to focus on being healthy whatever that is for your height and skeletal structure. if people could just be confident in who they are and remember that we al cant be a supermodel.

You mean because of the extra skin, lack of muscle tone, etc?  Work out as you lose weight.

I would say that playing a sport, or a very active game, is a great way to keep in shape.\n\nIt not only helps to keep you in shape, but it allows you the opportunity to build your social skills such as teamwork and sportsmanship.\n\nIf it's a team sport, it also allows you to learn how to cooperate with others and it may even bring you some newfound friends.\n\nHope that this helps.\n\nBuddhadan

If you are working out, you will get new muscles. Muscles weigh more than fat. That is why your weight isn't a good weigh to tell if you are healthy. It's good that you have quit smoking though.

Increasing weight is tougher than losing. Sometimes even following the right diet does not help because underweight people generally have high metabolic rates. That is the rate of burning food is higher. So nothing gets accumulated in the body.\n\nAs long as you are fit and running you really do not need to worry about your body. Yes people do care about looks but the truth is there is little someone can do about it.

First of all you have to debunk the notion that you have to get fit for others. You have to have an attitude that you are doing this for yourself not for anybody else. Set your goals according to what will make you happy, not what will elevate you in others' eyes.\n\nAny safe exercise is good for you. Don't quit! You'll see the results soon

In its most general meaning, physical fitness is a general state of good physical health. A physically handicapped person's body may be physically fit (healthy), though their ability is likely to be less than optimum.\n\nPhysical fitness is a result of regular physical activity, proper diet and nutrition, and proper rest for physical recovery within the parameters allowed by the genome.

Lazyness is the primary reason most people are out of shape. If you can not at least get yourself to cook then how in Gods name do you think you will actually maintain a good workout plan etc...\n\nStop being lazy and do what is neccessary to achieve your goals.

Males need to maintain at least 4-5% for livable body conditions. 8-12% would put you in the category of many professional athletes and people who are serious about working out. Check out bodybuilding.com for some good forums on that topic.
