Sure, that ripped look when the shirt comes off is great, but that is only a small part of the reasons for male fitness. Personal performance is great, too, both athletic and the night time recreational variety. The health thing is also important; the absence of sickness, minimal aches and pains, bouncing out of the bed in the morning (well, rising easily, anyway) and never using sick-time at work. Then there’s the respect, admiration even, from friends of both sexes; the look of surprise when your buddy grabs your upper arm while making a point and pauses with a look of amazement when he feels the bulging hardness under his hand. Male fitness is all of these things and more.
Male fitness effects male attitude. The fit male exudes the confidence that comes from feeling good about himself, a confidence that extends into everything he does. It is an attitude that is read by everyone he comes into contact with and is often the difference between super-success or a marginal response in his personal and business relationships. It is a sad commentary on our society that a fit, healthy male body is the exception instead of the rule.
Male fitness magazines extol the virtues of exercise programs and every one of them outlines programs to build bigger arms, a massive chest, bulging thighs, flaring calves, a wide back and symmetrical shoulders. How does one really start and what works best?
The magazines are good and their articles are well founded, but a beginner needs more incentive and attention to their individual needs. A good fitness club with a competent staff is probably the best answer for a neophyte. Once a program has been set up and some results are being seen, the male on the path to fitness, can adjust his program to suit the schedule and goals.
A typical male fitness program will consist of strength and circuit training, cardiovascular exercises and other athletic endeavors; running, sports walking, tennis and other sports. None of this activity has to be extreme, but it should be enjoyable. A committed workout partner is also an aid. A fit man is a testimonial to the “sound mind in a sound body” principle.
