Evaluating Your Fitness and Your Goals

  1. Step 1 Know your current fitness level.
    Consider getting a physical exam before beginning any exercise program. This is especially true if you have medical problems, especially related to the heart, lungs, kidneys, or joints.
    • The older you are, the more important it is to see a physician before you begin moderate or strenuous exercise.
    • If you have quit smoking in the past six months, you should also consider a visit to the doctor before getting started.
    • Remember that you should not be ashamed of where you currently stand. It is all about where you are heading!
  2. Step 2 Choose your target fitness level.
    Figure out the level of fitness you are trying to achieve. Knowing your goals will help keep you motivated to exercise.
    • Health-related fitness requires that you maintain a minimum level of fitness for your age to reduce your risk of illnesses that can be caused by lack of exercise or poor nutrition.
    • Performance-related fitness concerns the activities you want to do. Some occupations, such as firefighter, require higher levels of fitness, as do some recreational activities, such as hiking.
