Be Fit, Be Careful

Everybody would like to have a fit body with good muscles so as to attract many people. Those who want to keep their body fit will usually do exercise daily. Fitness is not something that we can achieve in a single day. We have to work out on a regular basis every day as well as have to consume healthy food daily, but there are some people who want to improve their body in a short period of time. These people will work out more vigorously from day one itself, but would stop it after some days or weeks due to time constraints or some other reasons. Whenever I think about fitness, one incident came to my mind.

A guy who I know very well, having more enthusiasm in building a fit body decided to start doing exercise by utilizing the fitness center in the basement of his apartment. Because of his more enthusiasm, he worked out heavily on day one. There was no one in the fitness center except him. He got fainted in the middle of the workout and was not able to walk steadily. Somehow he managed to come out of the fitness center and reached the elevator. He was very tired and was not able to wait for the elevator to come. After getting inside the elevator, he lost his conscious while pressing the button. The elevator got closed and started. Due to his unconscious, he fell down inside the elevator. Unfortunately while falling down, his hand touched the stop button and the elevator got stopped in the middle. He got up after a minute and realizing the elevator was stopped, he thought he has reached his floor. Since the elevator door didn’t open for a long time then only he realized the elevator got stuck in the middle. He called the operator and managed to come out of the elevator after staying inside the elevator for 30 minutes. He took a complete rest and wasn’t able to do any work for the rest of the day. After this incident, that guy stopped going to the fitness center.

People who want to improve their fitness have to be very careful and can learn from the above incident, the consequences of over enthusiasm shown in improving their fitness. They can show enthusiasm, but too much of enthusiasm will leads to the vulnerable situations like the one that happened to the guy mentioned above. I believe people whoever reads this blog would understand this and would take extra care while improving their fitness.
