Physical fitness is the ability to carry out an action or a piece of work to be healthy and ready to deal with. Physical fitness is also a way to help prevent diabetes, some cancer and heart problem. But first to do physical fitness, you need to ask or see your doctor to make sure that if you have any health condition, before you entering any physical fitness program.

            There are five major components, which contribute to physical fitness are cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition. Cardiovascular endurance is how to check your heart and lungs so that they both are providing oxygen and blood at the same time when you work out. Muscular endurance is to help not to make you getting tired when you exercise. Muscular strength is the ability that helps you to have muscles. Flexibility is to help you get loose and stretching when you're done exercise. And body composition is how you check yourself,  which is according to your height, weight, frame size, and the relative between your fat mass and your muscle mass. So when you do physical fitness you have to know how your body work and how to check your body while you are exercising.

And you can also do physical fitness by not using this equipment or this machine such as walking, running, working in your garden, riding bike, walking your dog, dancing, swimming, and there are still more activities that you can do. For example, you participate in an activity like soccer, volleyball, basketball, football and more activities. You can do any activities that you like or fit you. And remember not to push yourself so hard. You can just pick one and do it about 30 minutes and stop. Then you can do another difference one that you like on the next day about 30 minutes again.

Hmong Women’s Way of Giving Birth

I like to tell about how Hmong women live that give birth of a child in Thailand and Laos look like. I had been helping my mother by the way, that prepare the piece of cloth and get the warn water for her when she gave birth to my young sisters and brothers.  Also, I had killed some chicken for she eaten before she gave birth too. Then she won strong and have mike when the baby was born. After that the baby was born, and I had to wash my mother clothes and also the baby too.

When our mother and father brought us into the world, they tore up cloth and wrapped us in it. Our mother gave birth, not on a bed, but on the ground. Our parents had a bed, but it was high, and they were afraid the baby would fall off and get hurt. They put a blanket next to the bed, and the mother gave birth on it. We did not have any doctors then. When the baby was born, the other women were helping out mother would pick it up and washing it. Our mother would then get up to change her clothes, come back into the room, take the baby in her arms, and breast-feed it. We did not have any dairy milk where we lived.    

Three days after a baby was born. Parents would give him or her name. Before naming the baby, however, they would kill some chickens and maybe a pig and have a feast. We did like this way, because from our culture that we believe, but now we do not use it so much. Just some still doing this way because they are in the old religion and also, some people are in Thailand and Laos.    

So now we have doctor and have live difference from that way, but however, still some of our women out there don’t have good doctor. They would have the same life like that, and you do not have to learn like this in here. But I just hope you will understand my experience, and knowing the other women live.
