3 Physical Fitness Facts

I also believed that cellulite was a unique type of body fat, but I learnt that cellulite occurs when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin.
I was also shocked that sit ups do not get rid of stomach fat. I thought this as they work out your core but I have learnt that they do not.
I was shocked from the fact that Cardiovascular disease (heart attacks and strokes) account for more than half of all deaths. I personally believed that car accidents were more likely to account for half of all deaths.

STRONGEST Influence factors for MY physical fitness

Aging: I would like to be as healthy as possible so I can live a long life with lesser chances of health problems. Being physically active can really help me in the long run.
Society and Peer Influence: This is another stronger influence for me as I feel like I am too skinny at times. I have lost a lot of weight over the years and I would like to gain it again in a healthy way.
Nutrition and Weight: This is my strongest influence as I am slightly underweight. My goal is to gain weight by working out and gaining muscle. I will also have to change my diet in order to meet this goal.
