11 Components of Physical Fitness in Action

By Jeff Angel on June 5, 2013 Leave a Comment

Ladies, being physically fit is not just about looking good in a bikini or having a tight backside or not
having fat dangling from your arms when waving. Gentlemen, being physically fit is not about how
much weight you can bench press, how big your biceps are or weather you have a four pack or a six
pack for abs. Believe me, this is all good stuff. However, everyone should consider all aspects of
physical fitness in order to be defined as a physically fit individual.

There are 11 components of physical fitness. If you are not incorporating all components of physical
fitness into your daily exercise program, then you are not doing enough to improve your fitness level
and overall health.

The 11 Components of Physical Fitness include:

1. Agility
2. Balance
3. Body Composition
4. Cardiovascular Endurance
5. Coordination
6. Flexibility
7. Muscular Endurance
8. Muscular Strength
9. Power
10. Reaction Time
11. Speed

All 11 components of fitness are present in everyone’s daily lives. You just may not realize it. For
instance, you use agility when walking quickly through a crowd during Christmas shopping at the
mall. Muscular strength and endurance is being used when unloading a carload of groceries from
Costco. Your reaction time is being challenged every day you drive your car to work or drive the kids
to school. Your body composition is stagnating every time you choose not to go for a long walk
outside and instead sit on the couch watching Real Housewives or your favorite sports team.

Trying to incorporate 10 of the 11 components into one workout may seem impossible. (I say 10
because while body composition is impacted by exercise it is not an actionable part of a work-out).
But, take some time and consider a training session that utilizes an exercise step or BOSU, some
dumbbells, a medicine ball, and your body. You will find you can incorporate the 10 components
into one workout.

I’m not going to bore you with written details as how to set up a circuit of exercises that mix in all the
components of physical fitness. The best way to do this is by showing you. My YouTube
videos demonstrate some of the best, most efficient ways to include a number of exercises that will
challenge you in all areas of physical fitness. These videos are just demonstrations that may educate
you and hopefully make you sweat a bit.
Knowing all 11 components of physical fitness will help you to be stronger, leaner, and will increase
your fitness level at any age. These components should not be forgotten when heading off to the
gym or when heading out for an evening walk. You may find yourself doing an extra push-up or
picking up your pace and starting into a light jog. Enjoy your training and have fun!
 "Dance With My Father"

Back when I was a child

Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me
And then spin me around 'til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved

If I could get another chance

Another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again

When I and my mother would disagree

To get my way I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said

Later that night when I was asleep

He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me

If I could steal one final glance

One final step, one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door

And I'd hear how my mama cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me

I know I'm praying for much too much

But could You send back the only man she loved?
I know You don't do it usually
But, dear Lord, she's dying
To dance with my father again

Every night I fall asleep

And this is all I ever dream

Verse I
Nandito ako,
palagi lang nandito
ikaw lang naman ang lumalayo
nandito ako
lagi lang nandito
naghihintay sa bukas na pinto

Refrain:
Ngayo'y nagbago na ang panahon pagibig
mo'y kumupas kinalimutan ang lahat

Chorus:
Di ko alam ang nangyare
lahat ay kaybilis at nanlalamig kana pala
di ko man lang naramdaman
di ko alam ang nangyare
di ko man lang napansin
huli na ng malaman ko
ang tunay na sitwasyon.

Verse II
Pagmulat ko,
wala kana sa aking piling
bangungot ba ito at di na magising
pangako mo'y pagibig na walang hangganan
ngunit bakit ako ngayo'y iniwan.

Repeat Chorus 2x
