Enter the date of the first test at the top and the results of each activity below the heading
FIRST SURVEY. Take the second test three months later and enter the date as well as the results under the heading:
SECOND EXAMINATION. After the second survey, reward the guest: 5 extra points for each activity you improved (+5).subtract 5 points where you did not improve (-5).zero if there was no change (0). Symbolically, only the alphabet from fat is fit. It is symbolic because you remove the common "and" and replace it with a special "I". "I" as in me, in myself, as in an individual. The "A" in "fat" can be: a three-pack-a-day smoker, snacking between meals and watching TV, a nervous type who can't sleep at night, a person whose weight groans every time they step on it, a diabetic/heart patient etc., depressed person, stressed person, alcohol drinker, active couch potato but by getting into a fitness lifestyle the 'a' disappears from 'fat' and is replaced by a healthy glowing 'i' as in FIT. Watch the 'I' emerge... I don't need the damn cigarettes. I don't feel hungry all the time. I can sleep soundly. I can lose weight without feeling like I'm shrinking. I've managed/banished my illnesses.
I feel light and joyful. I can relax without worry. I don't need to drink to relax. I feel active and energetic all the time. Changing 'a' to 'I' is a wonderfully fulfilling process. However, if you are over 35 or have any medical condition, be sure to consult your doctor before starting an exercise program. If you have answered the questions in the "How fit am I?" section of the personal survey, you will already be aware of your health and fitness level. But you'd like to know a little more, wouldn't you? For example, what is going on inside your body? So let's understand its amazing mechanism that nature has gifted us all with. Lung Power At birth, each of us is declared "alive and kicking" the moment we take our first breath and scream our lungs out. It shows how vital oxygen is to us. To stay alive, we need a good dose of oxygen flowing through our lungs. It is the foundation needed for our physical condition. Until now, you may have thought of your lungs as a pair of bellows that help you breathe. Now let's see what happens when you inhale. Your lungs process air.
For comparison, you have a cup of rice before cooking. You clean it by separating the grain from the small stones. Then you take the separated grain and put it in the cooking vessel. Similarly, your lungs separate oxygen from air (which includes nitrogen and other gases such as carbon monoxide) and send it around the body. Pure oxygen is absorbed by your red blood cells into your hemoglobin, and these little sponges of oxygen travel through your bloodstream. Your bloodstream is like a great river that flows through your body and carries these oxygen sponges to the tissue. (Tissue is muscle, bone, nerve. A group of cells makes a tissue, and a group of tissues makes up your organs, heart, lungs, stomach.) At their destination, these fungi "push out" oxygen and reabsorb the waste carbon dioxide from your tissue. They return to your lungs, where the waste gases are expelled. Your fitness depends on your lungs' ability to process air. The more air your lungs process, the more oxygen you get to your tissues and the more efficiently your body will work. Aerobic exercise does just that - it increases the efficiency of your lungs and helps them "suck" more oxygen into your system. Now you will understand why smoking is so harmful to your health.
When you smoke a cigarette, you inhale carbon monoxide that would normally be filtered out by your lungs. The act of smoking is like the underworld sending its gun-wielding thug - carbon monoxide - into your home. A thief (carbon monoxide) terrorizes your main guard (your lungs), who is forced to let him in. This killer gas enters your blood cells and grabs the hemoglobin in a paralyzing grip. In this way, it prevents oxygen-rich hemoglobin from reaching your tissue and disrupts your body from working efficiently. But the good news is that when you stop smoking, your body can recover and resume its normal performance within a few weeks, if of course your heart has been scarred in the meantime. Aerobic exercise not only strengthens your lungs, but also expands the surrounding space, allowing them to expand more and process more oxygen.
