Fitness at Sabrr Foundation

The word ‘fitness’ can be difficult to pin down because it is used so subjectively in everyday speech. Some people associate physical fitness with being able to climb a flight of stairs while for others it is the ability to run a marathon. The way we view physical fitness here at Sabrr Foundation is a level of physical wellness where you are able to get the most out of life. This doesn’t have to be about running marathons or becoming a gym-rat. It is about getting and keeping your body at least in a fit enough shape, so you can comfortably accomplish the tasks you need to do each day.

So, what are essential building blocks of physical fitness and how can it be achieved? Well, there is cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle strength, muscle endurance, flexibility, and body composition ( what percentage of your body is fat, bones, muscles, water, etc.). To improve these components, you should try a combination of the following:

• Choose from a range of activities like walking, running, weight training, team sports, Yoga and work out regularly.
• Ensure proper nutrition ? stick to a healthy diet.
• Get sufficient rest and sleep.
• Practice stress management and relaxation a go – e.g. with activities like Yoga and Meditation.
