Why Fitness goals cannot be just numbers

When you blow candles on you birthday cake, you convince yourself saying “Age is just a number.I am still young at heart”. Seriously! I mean you think your young heart can give you a healthy body? Well theoretically yes but realistically? Mr. X is only 30 years young at heart. One morning he wakes up all tired with aching joints. He conveniently blames the heavy bag that he had to carry up two floors of his apartment the previous day. Now his young heart is suddenly concerned of his physical fitness.He immediately makes aresolution of reducing some x kilos in next one month and startswith some rigorous exercise routine to achievehis numeric goals. Every morning he pushes his aching body and lazy muscles to go to gym and finally hiswill power stops showing its power and he gives up!
Please wonder! Are fitness goals just some numbers? Remember, you may reach your number but you may not be fit.Fitness is not just a physical phenomenon but also a measure of mental health. How about defining some realistic fitness goals here:
Goal #1: Build your stamina:
You bought an apartment on a high floor to enjoy the scenic views. God forbid, what if the lift stops working and you cannot climb stairs beyond two floors to catch those views? Unfortunately you cannot bring your house down instead you will have to bring your stamina up. Define your workout routine in a way that helps you do better day by day in your physical activities without much effort.
Goal #2: Achieve Flexibility
You are told tostand and touch your toes without bending your knees. Sounds like the simplest maths problem that you are sure to crack. But bump! You could not do this! Don’t be surprised. Blame the muscle inflexibility. Define a workout that will awaken your lazy muscles and help you achieve better flexibility.
Goal #3: Boost your energy 
You live on junk food; you sleep for 8-10 hours every day like a baby, yet wake up like a sloth. Reminds me of the ad where your soul is pushing your body to work beyond limits. Get habituated to eating healthy, maintaining good metabolism and keeping your deficiencies at bay. So that you can sleep like a baby and wake up like a chipmunk.
Goal #4: Develop Positivity:
It seems a healthy mind resides in a healthy body and an empty mind is a devil’s workshop. Feed your brain with some endorphins, it is the food for your brain to think positive. You will not find the need to take morphine then. Consistent exercise or workout routine will do the job for you. Your fitness goal is incomplete without a fit mind.
Goal #5: The Lifestyle
If you are the one who is stuck to his chair at work the whole day and have no time for anything else then please change your name to John because “All work and no play made John a dull boy”. Factor in some lifestyle changes that can cater to a healthy routine. 
No more wondering. Just redefine your fitness goals. Take it slow, take it steady and be consistent. 
Next time you climb the stairs of your high rise apartment, or blow your birthday candles you will be proud to say “I am young at heart, fit by body and happy by soul”.
