FITNESS by Zeynep Fitness is important for people to introduce to their lives. For some people even though it may seem like a side hobby, fitness is actually much more than just a physical activity. Fitness is important for everyone. Children, adolescents, and adults of all ages need regular physical activity. Physical activity promotes good health, but besides that, it improves mental health, reduces stress, and increases self-confidence. The world is a busy place. When one chooses to do a sport, they choose to focus on moving at the pace they want to, rather than the pace the world dictates, which gives the person a time out from the world. Another way fitness impacts one’s mental health is that it is a great mood booster. For instance, in swimming rhythmic breathing, total immersion at the moment, and a connection of mind and bodythe perfect mindfulness ingredients, and they all come included in every swim session making you feel better and relaxed from all the busyness of the outside world. Stress is one of the common feelings most people experience. In other words, stress is all over the world. Some people stress about school, some stress about life, and some stress about what to eat for dinner, etc. Stress comes in many forms and produces many symptoms. Mental symptoms range from worry, insomnia, anger, and hostility, or sensations of dread, foreboding, and even panic.
