5 Ways To Reach Your Individual Health Goal
Are you unique? The answer is “YES!” We all have individual genetics, fingerprints, traits, characteristics and many other distinct qualities. It may be your voice, laughter, the way your eyes sparkle that makes you the one and only beautiful you.
Your individuality also plays a role in your health. As a matter of fact, we are genetic predispose to certain diseases, maladies, and defects. Conversely, we also can benefit from our genetic code. Whether it is our body style or down to a microscopic level of the quantity of key enzymes in our muscles, our individual genetics play part in our health.
Yet, your genetics are only a proportion of your health equation. Nonetheless, understanding your genetic attributes can pave the way for determining what activity or exercise patterns will best suit you. For example, there are individuals that can sprint 100 meter in less than 10 seconds and marathon runners that complete the race in just over 2 hours. They are unique in their physiology and their training is suited towards that end. You are also unique.
As the health industry continues to attack inactive lifestyles and the risk factors associated with it, general health recommendations are developed. For all of us, this is a good place to start if you do not know where else to start. However, everything about you is unique. Your heart rate is yours. Your VO2 max is yours. And, we even have different percent of muscle fiber types. Therefore, your training plan should be based on your individual traits, qualities, and likes.
Look at it this way. If you did your taxes and got a nice return, you would be happy. Yet, if you found out you left thousands of dollars at risk because of an error, well, YIKES! So, do not risk your health or effectiveness to achieve your health goal. There are many of great ways to get individualized help for your health goal. Let’s look at ways to optimize your plan to your needs.
