Are You Healthy or Fit?

 

Health and Fitness are essentially two separate things.

 

Being physically fit does not mean you are healthy, nor does being healthy mean you are fit.

Are you physically fit?

  Can you run 2 miles?

  How many step-ups can you do in 2 minutes?

  Can you bench press your body weight?

  How many push-ups can you do?

  How many pull-ups can you do?

  Can you touch your toes?

  Is your resting heart rate below 60 beats a minute?

  Does your heart rate drop at least 10 beats after
60 seconds of rest from an intense physical activity?

The above questions address fitness, but what about your health?

Do you struggle with…..the vicious cycle,

  Fatigue or lack of energy?

  Headaches or lightheadedness?

  Bloating, Indigestion, Heartburn or other GI problems?

  Cravings or low blood sugar?

  Mood swings or irritability?

  Allergies or frequent infections?

  Constipation or diarrhea?

  Difficulty falling or staying asleep?

  Joint pain or stiffness?

   Hormonal Imbalance

 

Good health is more than absence of disease! You may not have a diagnosed disease, but are you truly healthy if you struggle with fatigue, headaches, digestive, hormonal problems or any other type of ailments? 

Being physically fit – doesn’t mean you are healthy or visa-versa.

There are plenty of physically fit people…who are not healthy. 

The key is to be health and fit.  If you fall short in either category, I encourage you to learn more and follow my Blog/Vlog and use the other Health Quizzes to help you reach your goal.
