Using a new workout routine with aerobic fitness to harness physical activity in empowering ways

Muscle mass, lean muscle mass, aerobic exercise… there’s a lot to the world of fitness. And simply building fitness feels as broad as telling a builder to build a building.

So what exactly do we mean by building fitness?

Fitness encompasses both aerobic and anaerobic growth. Strength training for muscular endurance and mass growth, for example, will help with your anaerobic fitness while an exercise routine encompassing running or cycling determines your aerobic fitness level.

However, there’s a twist.

Both have an undeniable and strongly bonded connection. Strength training helps with cardio endurance, while rowing or cycling helps with building muscle too.

This is why the world of fitness is best noted as being a world, rather than the individual and separated countries that make up that world; isolating aspects of fitness can lead to detrimental growth. But, of course, closely examining how those nations help each other is of equal merit.

So let’s break down what it means to build fitness, and make a universe of growth possible at last.

Fitness level assessment

To build a tower, you must first lay its foundations. This is true for your fitness growth too. Beyond the fact that assessments can reveal a great deal of your health, with factors like digestive and kidney diseases flagging up, you should be aware of your ability first. From lifting weights to running distance, you could try the following recordings:

  • Your pulse rate before and immediately after walking 1 mile (1.6 kilometers)
  • How long it takes to walk 1 mile, or how long it takes to run 1.5 miles (2.41 kilometers)
  • How many standard or modified pushups you can do at a time
  • How far you can reach forward while seated on the floor with your legs in front of you
  • Your waist circumference, just above your hipbones
  • Your body mass index
