4 Pillars of Life Time Fitness: Wellness, The Fitness Continuum, Nutrition… and PLAY!

Improvements in Life Time Fitness include focusing on some major categories that will significantly help benefit one’s health through a regular fitness program. Something that we promote with our Personal Training clients here in Napa, is to focus on something we call The 4 Pillars of Life Time Fitness. Within these pillars, we feature 4 critically important themes responsible for positively influencing our Health and Wellness Goals.

Wellness: Wellness can be defined as the ability to maintain oneself in an optimal level of feeling well physically, mentally, and emotionally. This could mean anything from being injury-free, free of illness, and being emotionally happy and healthy.

The Fitness Continuum: We utilize the continuum of fitness as a way to discover where a person is currently in their stage of fitness. This could mean that you are just starting out exercise and fresh into a new program, maintaining your Fitness and exercising about one to two times per week, improving your current fitness level 3 months into a program of exercising 2-3 times per week, or trying to become more athletic. It’s very important to figure out where you are in these four different stages of the Continuum of Fitness. By figuring out where you are in these stages of the fitness Continuum, you can now plan on where your journey of fitness will take you next.

Nutrition:  Another component that is very popular among finding solutions to weight loss, is nutrition. Focusing on your nutrition as a critical pillar to support the overall structure of Life Time Fitness is another useful angle to focus on to maintain a healthy weight and ensuring that your body is being fueled with the proper nutrients that will support its functions.

Hobbies and Play:  Lastly we focus on the category of Hobbies and Play! When we talk about the category of Play, we want to make sure that we are including some sort of Hobby in your plan to get healthier! While it’s important to make sure that we eat right and exercise regularly, it’s just as important to make sure that we are partaking in recreational activities that entail us to use our bodies in recreational ways.

When our clients come to us on how to improve their Life Time Fitness, we need to approach it from various angles.  If you are curious about how to more effectively focus on your Life Time Fitness goals and how to implement some of these tools listed, please feel free to reach out to Napa Tenacious Fitness at napatenacious@gmail.com or give us a ring at 707-287-2727.
