What is fitness?
Fitness does not only refer to being physically fit, but it also refers to a person’s
mental state as well. If a person is physically fit, but mentally unwell or troubled,
he or she will not be able to function optimally. Mental fitness can only be achieved if your body is
functioning well. You can help relax your own mind and eliminate stresses by exercising regularly and
eating right. Fitness is a condition in which an individual has enough energy to avoid fatigue and enjoy
Physical fitness refers to the ability of your body systems to work together
efficiently to allow you to be healthy and perform activities of daily living. Being efficient
means doing daily activities with the least effort possible.
Physical and mental fitness play a very important role in our lives. A person
who is fit is capable of living life to its fullest extent. People who are both, physically and
mentally fit are less prone to poor medical conditions as well.
Becoming physically fit requires a change in life style. You will have to incorporate a regular
exercise routine and maintain a balanced diet. By avoiding junk foods, fizzy drinks, bad habits like
smoking and alcohol and by getting adequate amount of rest, you will be able to become physically
and mentally fit. Just by eliminating all these food substances from your life, no matter how
temporarily, you will allow your body to detox and become stronger. Make sure that you spend more
time outdoors in the sun, and fresh air and take part in healthier activities. Fishing, bicycling,
swimming, hiking, playing ball games, working in farm, house chores, feeding with your pets (carabao,
goats, pigs, cows, etc) should be a part of your physically fit lifestyle. Family, friends or your pets could
be your comfortably companion by doing all possible physical fitness related activities.
By becoming more active, you can increase your body’s fitness level and also avoid health
problems like diabetes and high blood pressure from developing. Exercise is also good for your joints
and it makes your body stronger overall.

Two components of
Physical fitness
1. SKILL-RELATED FITNESS
2. HEALTH-RELATED FITNESS
1. SKILL-RELATED FITNESS
Traditionally, skill-related fitness was only achieved by practicing one’s sport or activity.
Traditional training methods focused on the five components of fitness (muscular strength and
endurance, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility and body composition) and other skills to be accomplished
while at practice [By: Jay Morgan, NASM Elite Trainer]. Functional training strategies now take advantage of
integrating skilling activities within training session. Skilling fundamentals can include balancing,
jumping, hopping, pivoting or lunging. When these fundamental skills are enhanced, an individual can
improve speed, agility, coordination, endurance, mobility, strength and power. So, skill-related fitness
is the ability to do well in every day life activities and even sports.

Reaction-time
1.1. Agility is the ability to change and control the direction and position of the
body while maintaining a constant, rapid motion.
Example: Changing directions to hit a ball
1.2. Balance is the abiility to move or to remain in a position without losing
control or falling. 5
Example:
1.3. Coordination is the ability to use two or more parts of your body at the
same time (hand-eye and/or foot-eye) .
Example:
1. 4. Speed is the amount of time it takes the body to perform specific tasks.
Example:
1.5. Power is the ability to move your body parts quickly while at the same
time applying the maximum force of your muscles. It is also the ability to
perform with strength at a rapid pace (strength and speed) like performing
a ball game, swimming, track, etc.
Example:

1.6. Reaction time is the amount of time it takes to start a movement once
your senses signal the need to move.
Example:
2. Health-related fitness
It involves exercise activities that you do in order to try to improve your physical health
and stay healthy, particularly in the categories of cardiovascular and muscular endurance,
muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition.
The health-related components of fitness are important for everyone in all walks of life
regardless of whether one has a desire to compete in or perform a physical activity at an
optimum level.
Five categories of health-related fitness:
2. 1. Body composition
Incorporating these exercises into your regular routine will help you safely and
effectively achieve your body composition goals.

How does exercise affect body composition?
Physical activity and exercise are other crucial components for improving body
composition. They do not only increase the calories you use, but they are also
necessary for optimal muscle growth. Since body composition can be improved by
decreasing fat mass or increasing muscle mass, this is an important point.
A healthy body composition is one that includes a lower percentage of body fat and a
higher percentage of non-fat mass, which includes muscle, bones, and organs.Often,
you will measure your body composition at the start of a weight-loss or fitness
program and then check it periodically to monitor your progress.
1. Fat 3. Mineral
2. Water 4. Protein
These activities will help you to develop your body composition. Lets do these
industriously!

6. Improving endurance
This means going running, biking and hiking; climbing stairs and sprinting intervals;
doing things that make you sweat heavy and breathe hard. Steady-state cardio and

both into your training plant.
Have an open dialogue with your doctor — ask questions to make sure you
understand your diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. Here are a few tips that can help
you talk to your doctor and make the most of your appointment: Write down a list of
questions and concerns before your appointment.
2. 5. Muscular strength
Strong muscles can have direct and indirect benefits on health and include:

Good posture.
Easier performance of work, everyday activities and exercise.
Easier performance of recreational activities.
Stronger tendons and ligaments, and bones.
Decreased risk of injury.
Decreased risk of falls. 17
1. Skeletal
The skeletal system includes all of the bones and joints in the body. Each bone is a complex living
organ that is made up of many cells, protein fibers, and minerals.
2. Cardiac
The cardiovascular system refers to the heart, blood vessels and the blood. Blood
contains oxygen and other nutrients which your body needs to survive. The body takes
these essential nutrients from the blood. Then the right ventricle pumps blood to the
pulmonary trunk, through the pulmonary arteries and into the lungs.
3. Smooth muscle
It refers to a muscle tissue in which the contractile fibrils are not highly ordered,
occurring in the gut and other internal organs and not under voluntary control.
Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs like your intestines and
stomach. They work automatically without you being aware of them. Smooth muscles
are involved in many 'housekeeping' functions of the body. The muscular walls of your
intestines contract to push food through your body.
How do you build strength?
Stick to lower rep ranges. Strength is best gained through lifting in the lower rep
ranges, ideally one to five reps
Keep track of where you're at
Don't forget your nutrition
Keep it simple

Mascular endurance and strength
exercises
For your body to have enough energy to grow your muscles, you need to eat more
calories than you burn per day. ... "If the goal is to build muscle, you need to eat
adequate protein and enough carbohydrates so that the body doesn't turn to protein
as an energy source."

of protein, vitamins and choline, which boosts brain health;
Salmon;
Raw Nuts & Seeds;
Spinach & Greens;
