“I’m already thin… Why should I work out?”
This is one of those lines we don’t hear as much in the fitness industry as some others, but it is a question that deserves some attention.
Working out, including resistance training, cardiovascular training, and flexibility, is not just for people who wish to lose weight. Fitness training is for your health, not just your looks. Thin does not necessarily mean healthy. Research has shown that someone who is thin and unfit is actually less healthy than someone who has a few extra pounds and is fit. People who are thin and unfit can have heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. just like people who are overweight and unfit. A sound exercise program can also make your body look and feel even better.
If you are someone who falls into the “thin but unfit” category, make a commitment to yourself and your health and begin your fitness program today.
