Over the last 25 years, ever since the introduction of Dr. Kenneth Cooper's book, Aerobics, many

individuals have focused on walking, running, cycling, swimming, and other types of aerobic activity as their

only means of exercise.

Unfortunately, this has led to many of these same people neglecting other key components of fitness;

such as strength training, flexibility and body composition. Many of us lack the strength to carry a full bag of

groceries, or the flexibility to pick up our shoes without bending at the knees. In addition, as we have aged,

we have replaced muscle tissue with fat tissue.

Continued work by Dr. Cooper at the Institute of Aerobics Research, is showing that in addition to the

need to stress our cardiovascular system, that more attention needs to be placed on building stronger muscles

and increasing joint flexibility. They are talking about the benefits of balanced fitness: regular physical activity

that includes strength training and flexibility (stretching) in addition to aerobic conditioning.

For many years, "fitness" has been solely a measure of cardiovascular (aerobic) endurance. And, while

aerobic fitness is the cornerstone for health and quality of life, there are two other components that are

nearly as important. When developing your home fitness program it is only appropriate that you develop

all three components in order to achieve balanced fitness, and thus optimal health and quality of life. The

three components are:

— Muscle strength

— Cardiovascular fitness

— Flexibility

 Balance Fitness

Many people considering beginning a balanced home fitness program still think "no pain, no gain." They

usually think they have to cycle or lift weights until they are over-tired and their body aches. This idea of

fitness is outdated. What they don't realize is that, in a short time using proper guidelines, the

initial tiredness or soreness will be replaced by increased energy for work and recreation and an increased

sense of well–being.

Since 1978, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) has had an influence on the medical

and scientific communities with its position statement on "The Recommended Quantity and Quality of

Exercise for Developing and Maintaining Fitness in Healthy Adults." For the first time since 1978 the

ACSM has revised its recommendations on exercise for healthy adults. The new paper published in 1991

expands and revises advice on cardiovascular fitness and body composition, and now recommends that

you add resistance training. This is new information to those of us who have only cycled, ran, swam,

watched our body weight and controlled our diet to attempt to maintain fitness.

Balanced fitness can do more to ensure a long, healthy life than just about anything else known to

the medical community today. It's never too late to start a fitness program but ideally, you should build

strong muscles, flexibility and a strong cardiovascular system early in life and enter the later years with your

physical potential at its maximum.
