Health and Fitness - the same thing or not?

If you train a lot, you can run, swim, cycle - do triathlons, run marathons, swim distances - you must be fit and healthy, right? - Not necessarily.........

If you eat right, indulge in moderation only, control your intake of food and alcohol - you must be fit and healthy, right? - Not necessarily.........

The above two examples will already have given the game away.  You can be fit, in terms of cardiovascular fitness, endurance etc. and still unhealthy.  If you're not feeding your body well, with the nutrients it needs to maintain the lifestyle you're choosing, then you run the risk of being fit but not healthy.  How often have you seen marathon runners get sick often, and break down through lack of sufficient nutrients to sustain their fitness regime?

How many people do you know that eat and drink frugally, and limit their intake of excessive sugars, fats, carbohydrates - they may be slim, yet if you ask them to run for a bus they would probably be in a bad way by the time they got to the bus stop!

So what's the solution?  A focus on both, of course!  We need to train our bodies, train our minds and train our metabolism!  That's why elite sportspeople have a coach! Get your mindset right, get expert information about what and how to organise your training, and your results will follow.
