Definition and Meaning

• Fitness incorporates physical mental health as
  well as emotional satisfaction self-awareness.
• Physical fitness is to the human body what fine
  tuning is to an engine. It enables us to perform
  up to our potential. Fitness can be described as
  a condition that helps us look, feel and do our
  best. More specifically, it is "The ability to
  perform daily tasks vigorously and alertly, with
  energy left over for enjoying leisure-time
  activities and meeting emergency demands. It is
  the ability to endure, to bear up, to withstand
  stress, to carry on in circumstances where an
  unfit person could not continue, and is a major
  basis for good health and well-being."
• Physical fitness involves the performance of the
  heart and lungs, and the muscles of the body.
  And, since what we do with our bodies also
  affects what we can do with our minds, fitness
  influences to some degree qualities such as
  mental alertness and emotional stability.
• As you undertake your fitness program, it's
  important to remember that fitness is an
  individual quality that varies from person to
  person. It is influenced by age, sex, heredity,
  personal habits, exercise and eating practices.
  You can't do anything about the first three
  factors. However, it is within your power to
  change and improve the others where needed
• Physical Fitness It is the ability to carry out
  daily routine physical activity without being
  unduly tired and have ample energy to face
  emergency tasks as and when arise.
