Fitness Programmes CanberraFitness programs actually find their origins in military exercises practised by the ancient Persians, Greeks and Romans. Exercises to prepare soldiers for battle included hunting, marching, riding, and javelin throwing. Exercises also became a matter of politics in the near East as the leaders of civilisations such as Assyria, Babylonia, Egypt, Palestine, Persia, and Syria.
Gymnastics are also a very old form of fitness program. Confucius encouraged regular activity and invented Cong Fu exercise programs that consisted of various movements and stances developed the concept of exercise in China. This first big breakthrough in the history of fitness then led to other Chinese sports the classic systems of Hindu philosophy that strives to bring together and personally develop the body, mind, and spirit. The exercises derive from Yoga, which was practised for thousands of years in Asia. Today over twelve million people still practice yoga, tai-chi, kick boxing and forms of martial art.
Today cycling, gymnastics and competitive sports are practised all over the world. Additionally there has been new exercise regimens invented such as Strippercise (working with a stripper pole) and Pilates (which involves the use of pulleys and a rack.)
