Proper Fitness

There's basically three things that a person needs to have for an ideal body he or she wants. It's proper nutrition, working out, and getting enough rest. These three things performed at a world class level on a consistent basis will make the athlete just kill stuff when it comes to doing physical and normal activities. Let's break it down into paragraphs like a five paragraph essay, starting with my first sentence being my thesis.

Number Uno, proper nutrition should take up about 80% of the time. Basically munching off of those good chips or addictive popcorn in my case while watching a NBA legendary player lose to a great team like it happened yesterday is not a great idea. It's better to get off the couch now especially because he's not going to win after losing three straight. The climax is over and it was fun before the other guy blasted a long range three pointer that just shut down the home crowd's energy and made fans start leaving. It happens! It should be easy now to get my butt off the couch because I saw a gain of two pounds on my weight scale and regretting that cheesy and caramelized melting popcorn and finishing half the bag that is fit to feed four hungry people!

Number Two, even after going to the bathroom, I saw only .2 pounds lost off my water weight. If you want to see some more excess of water weight lost, then you are going to have to work out. In addition, working out picks up your metabolism. From running only 13.1 miles a few weeks ago, I only lost about four pounds. It's like burning off a whole pizza; it's not bad at all wouldn't one say? It's more like an excuse from running only a distance of half marathon every two days to eat a lot to gain all of that weight after getting too thin!

Number Three, even after running only a half marathon one day a week and averaging about running only 35 miles in seven days, trust me, it isn't that bad as it seems, it's quite fun. I even average about 35 miles an hour in my car so to average that out in a week of running isn't really a lot if one would think on the long term scale. Proper rest so even though I feel bad to get eight hours of sleep and get up feeling all good and not knowing if I was snoring while dreaming hard about pretty ladies and on those rare occasions, I've probably been forced to take a peek from one of them being naughty but that's another case in the dream world which doesn't count! Rest is so pivotal so that you don't wake up sleepy. From being sleepy, it's easier to act stupid with simple routines like falling asleep while driving and hitting the curb and then the body just gets a jolt and sometimes, you might wake up in a hospital. Yes, proper rest helps the body recover so that you can run only another 13.1 miles freely the next day without feeling so tired!

In conclusion to this five paragraph essay regarding proper fitness, to sum it all up it's 80% proper nutrition, 20% work out, and then rest. I'm not saying 0% rest to add it up to 100% but I should add that 100% should be proper mind set and if you add in 100% rest, it becomes 300% for proper fitness. It works in the power of threes!
