The influence of Environmental Fitness in my day to day living
What is fitness? According to the Oxford Dictionary, fitness is the condition of being physically fit and healthy. It is also the quality of being suitable to fulfill a particular role or task. This dictionary also states environment is the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or planet lives or operates. It is also the natural world, as a whole or in a particular geographical area, especially as affected by human activity.
Environmental fitness is therefore the fitness that I have living day to day in my space, 'my environment'. It is how I interact with my surrounding s and myself daily. So the question is 'Am I capitalizing on my time daily taking care of my body?'
At Home
We take for granted the fact that we are young and sometimes think that we will stay that way forever. Where I grew up, there were few hills. Although this was the case, with the encouragement from my mother, I learnt that exercise is always important and therefore I should always make that effort to do so. Though the area was mainly flat and populated, there wasn't a large degree of pollution especially on mornings it became the ideal time to push that exercising drive forward. As a young child, I took early morning power-walks with my mother as a form of exercise. The air we breathe plays an important role in how fit we become especially when exercise is done outdoors. This exercise revitalized me and fortified me to go on through the day.
Today, while the environment I live in is still conducive to exercising; there is a field with a walkway around it and also gym equipment on the field; I neglect to do any exercise there because of the "am too tired and I have lots of work to do" excuses that I give myself to cushion myself and make myself feel less guilty for not keeping fit. However, I am hurting no one but myself with this way of thinking.
