Nowadays the majority of people worry about their health and generally try to ensure their body is in good shape. People talk about fitness and workout routines on a day-to-day basis. Hopefully, our short English fitness vocabulary will be useful to you next time you talk about your level of fitness or your exercise routine in English.
Difference between health and healthy

First of all, the word HEALTH is sometimes used incorrectly. Make sure you use it as a noun.
Example:
My health is my wealth.
A very common English expression but it is very important.
The word HEALTHY is an adjective so again make sure you only use it in this way.
Adjectives in English describe nouns and pronouns. We can place adjectives either before a noun or after a verb.
Example:
I am healthy. He is very healthy.
Porridge is a healthy breakfast choice.
Also, we can use it in the comparative format healthier, healthiest.

To ensure you are in fact healthy you should visit the doctor frequently. I am terrible at this and usually only go if I am ill and even then I have to be very ill before I make an appointment.
However, I still try to ensure I eat a healthy diet and take reasonable (some) amounts of exercise.
Before taking up exercise (cycling, running or gym work) it is advisable to get a check-up (let the doctor check your heart, blood pressure etc). If there are any problems they can be picked up (identified) before it is too late.
We have many ways of exercising and it usually depends on your time and preferences. I like cycling but others prefer the gym or jogging.
Whether it is a gentle workout (easy at the beginning until you improve your condition) or a strenuous session (harder workout for more experienced and fitter people) there is something to suit everyone.

to loosen up/to warm up
Before doing anything in the gym or before you set out for your jog it is always recommended to do some stretching exercises to “loosen up” or “warm up”. In that way, you should avoid any muscle injuries.
Circuit training
If you are working with a personal trainer or with a specific plan you usually do a few circuits (specific exercises that you repeat several times)
Example:
I do 2 circuits and repeat every exercise 15 times.
After the gym or your jog you will want to warm down (similar to warm up but at the end of your work out).
Then you may jump into (quickly as not much time) the shower, grab (again to take something quickly) a quick drink and get going (go where you have to go, work or school or home).
In order to stay healthy, we need to have an active lifestyle. Please make sure that you not only learn English fitness vocabulary words but also maintain a regular exercise routine.
