Many factors come into play when we consider our body’s fitness. The daily intake of food, vitamins, and water are absolute necessities and, most often, the items thought about. If we use our resources wisely and educate ourselves about the things our body needs to maintain fitness over the course of our life, it isn’t a difficult thing to attain. But you cannot abuse your body for years and then hope for immediate results in trying to attain overall fitness. It didn’t become bad overnight, and it will not become better again that quickly.

Proper attention to the physical needs of each part of your body results in the fitness of the whole. Every part of your physical body exists to work in unison with another part of the body. Two hands are necessary for the optimal functioning of the limbs, two feet, two eyes, etc. The physical body is designed to work better than any machine invented to date. It is more complex and powerful than any piece of equipment we have on the market. It takes more power than believable, and continues to operate, even without the daily requirements being met, for several days. It is a fascinating machine, as machines go. But it is an even more fascinating subject when we choose to care for our bodies as the temples they really are. They house our mind and soul, and when the body is in good shape, it does its job tremendously well.
