Regular exercise will keep your body fit in a variety of ways. Much of this will depend on your goals so if your goal is to be fit and stay fit then be sure to stay active and you will be able to achieve your goal.
Staying fit through aerobic activity will help keep your heart and lungs strong. Keeping these strong will help send oxygen to your muscle. This will result in an increased endurance and the ability to prevent you from getting winded.
Strength training will also be very important for everyday activities. Lifting weights will allow your body to be prepared for everyday movements. In addition, you will be stronger over time which will help increase bone density which will be very beneficial for your body in the long haul.
Exercise can keep you fit in several ways depending on the type of exercise performed.
Strength training is excellent for strengthening your muscles, bones, and joints. In addition, strength training can improve posture, muscular endurance, and slightly boost your metabolism with the addition of lean body mass. All of these effects will allow you to lift heavier loads (whether it's a suitcase, child, or barbell), perform activities for a longer period of time without your muscles fatiguing, and even look better in the mirror.
Cardiorespiratory exercise (such as walking, running, or swimming) is excellent for strengthening your heart and lungs. Your heart and lungs will be able to pump more blood and oxygen to working muscles with less effort (known as improved cardiac output), improving your endurance. This will enable you to perform activities without getting winded (struggling to catch your breath).
