DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FIT & ATHLETIC BODY
FIT BODY - Being physically fit or in good shape. Having a fit body means you meet the 5 different criteria: flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance, body fat composition, and cardiovascular endurance.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY & CALORIC BALANCE
There are 2 ways your body burns calories. The first way consists of tasks, such as digesting food and maintaining your heartbeat, your body does to keep it healthy and alive.The second way is by doing physical activities, but this doesn't always mean a sport or a workout. Any everyday activities you do is considered a physical activity and is burning calories.
When your caloric balance is not balanced out it can cause negative effects to your weight. Those negative effects are a gain in weight and loss of weight. Your body gains weight when you're consuming more calories and burning only a small portion of it. Losing weight is the exact opposite of gaining weight. Your body is, instead, consuming less but burning more calories.
CALORIC BALANCEThe amount of calories consumed and the amount of calories burned daily are equal and balanced. It is very important to remember as it concerns your physical health specifically your weight.
ATHLETIC BODY - Being skillfully good at sports. They are built and trained for strength, quickness, endurance, agility, speed, and power, that are used or combined when playing a sport.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS - Consider how much your chosen activity will cost and if the facility of where you will be participating your activity is available. If your chosen activity is out of you budget or has no availability, you may need to go for a second option. REMEMBER: Don't let these considerations intimidate you they are here to help you find a recreational activity that you will stick to, have a great time, and enjoy!
