Total Life Fitness


by Dr. John Demartini
To the person who truly desires to be in tune, total fitness today involves more than a simple body fitness program, it now includes an overall Life Fitness Program. It includes fitness in all areas of daily life. For instance, if your finances are weak and out of shape, and you are under constant worry and frustration over it, how can you expect to have true and total fitness. If your relationships and or family are off center, how can you expect to not be drained of energy. When your life is helter skelter, all your work at the gym, although a temporary boost, is not going to be sustained, let alone regenerative. There is wisdom in getting your life together and more in tune if true and total fitness is your aim.


But how, with all the many attention grabbing and energy zapping stimuli of the day, do you fulfill this overall fitness? The first step involves an honest inventory of your overall fitness. The second step involves its grading. The third and final step involves a commitment to implementing change.


The following questionaire was designed for the purpose of attaining an overall total life fitness. When filling out this questionaire remember that honesty is of utmost importance. To do an inventory on your present fitness status and to lie about it, is to break one of the most significant secrets to overall fitness, that is integrity. To take the first step forward on your overall Life Fitness Program, simply answer yes or no to the following questions.

To take the second step forward on your overall Life Fitness Program simply grade yourself on your preceding answers. For each question answered yes give yourself five points. For each question answered no give yourself zero points. Now total up all your points.


Your third and final winners step is to take action. Overall Life Fitness is yours for the taking.


If your total points range from 0 to70, your total Life Fitness status is very poor. If so, you need a jumpstart and an immediate overhaul before you end up totally out of shape. Start reviewing the preceding questionaire and begin taking immediate action today on its many implied fitness tips. Begin doing one at a time. Work on as many of these tips as you comfortably can. Push yourself though. You may need a mentor or coach, and if so, call on one. You will be amazed at how rapidly your overall life fitness can be upgraded with some extra attention.


If your total points range from 75 to 140, your total Life Fitness status is fair. If so, you could benefit from reviewing the preceding questionaire and incorporating many more of the tips to overall fitness it provides.


If your total points range from 145 to 210, your total Life Fitness status is good. You are definitely above average, but, you could still benefit even more by reviewing the preceding questionaire and incorporating as many of its implied fitness tips as possible. This good status is an easy status to become complacent in, so don't just let yourself plateau at being good, go for excellence. It may take some extra work, but your worth it.


If your total points range from 215 to 280, congratulate yourself, for your total Life Fitness status is excellent. You are quickly approaching an overall Life Fitness. You are either presently a leader or a leader in the making; a role model for others to follow. You have an integrity that makes you a winner. Your personal power and fitness will be an inspiration. You have become your own coach of your own inner winning team. All that is left for you to do is to simply polish up those last few fitness tips so your overall fitness can keep on shining.
