There is a misconception in the minds of many that zenith fitness is for those who are below the age of 30 years but it is not true men above this age too can be highly fit. Fitness which is the finest is the one that is achieved when one has an athletic body built or when has the power to all the tasks, in all when the muscles can work hard for you.

One must take a balanced and full diet to in order to increase the power of the muscles. Finest fitness is one that is capable of maintaining the energy in the body and has the power to perform the essential tasks.

In his/her diet one is required to take in the optimum number of calories.

Also try your best to be active. A lifestyle that makes you sit you all the time must be kept away from. You must exercise regularly. If your body is part of Page 10

a routine where you do a lot of physical exercises then your stamina would be maintained and your muscles would be strong as well. those who are serene and not much active tend to get flab in the middle part of their body.

Their body loses resistance to injuries and various diseases. In order to maintain the finest fitness not much is required.

One just needs an active period of 10 minutes. You can take up the stairs instead of lifts or stretch your body or even walk over the treadmill for 10

minutes. Never be cruel to your body. Take time out to relax the muscles.
