In Latin, fit means 'to be.' It has an existential and broad connotation, suggesting that fitness is the process whereby one becomes able to live. Modern culture simply takes fitness to mean 'being in shape.' 

​

At General Fitness Guidelines (GFG), we use the term 'fitness' in both the Latin and traditional sense. To us, fitness is being healthy, in shape, knowledgeable and joyful. It is more than merely staying in physical shape.

 

GFG fitness entails:

 

• Philosophy:

  • Understanding the nature of life

  • What is important and why

 

• Western Science:

  • Being able to set efficient goals (and organise your life)

  • Know the science of nutrition and exercise science

  • Understand spirituality

  • Become aware of the individual psychology; regulate thought, word and deed

 

• Eastern Science:

  • Discover the Eastern view on life

  • Become proficient at Transcendental meditation (TCM)

  • Learn the ancient science of holistic health: Ayurveda (Indian holistic medicine)

  • Get initiated into Vedic culture (wisdom)

  • Obtain knowledge about Jyotish (the third eye of Vedic culture)
