 PHYSICAL FITNESS
o This 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.
o A fit person
 Is able to perform schoolwork, meet home responsibilities, and still have enough
energy to enjoy sport and other leisure activities.
 Can respond effectively to normal life situations, such as raking leaves at home,
stocking shelves at a part-time job, and marching in the band at school.
 Can also respond to emergency situations - for example, by running to get help
or aiding a friend in distress.

 WELLNESS
o Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a
healthy and fulfilling life. Wellness is more than being free from illness, it is a dynamic
process of change and growth.

YOGA
 YOGA
o A system of physical postures, breathing techniques, and sometimes meditation
derived from Yoga but often practiced independently especially in Western
cultures to promote physical and emotional well-being.
o It typically emphasizes physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques
(pranayama), and meditation (dyana).
o Yoga and two practices of Chinese origin—tai chi and qi gong—are sometimes
called “meditative movement” practices. All three practices include both meditative
elements and physical ones.
o It is generally considered a safe form of physical activity for healthy people when
performed properly, under the guidance of a qualified instructor. However, as with
other forms of physical activity, injuries can occur. The most common injuries are
sprains and strains. Serious injuries are rare. The risk of injury associated with
yoga is lower than that for higher impact physical activities.
 To reduce your chances of getting hurt while doing yoga:
 Practice yoga under the guidance of a qualified instructor.
 If you’re new to yoga, avoid extreme practices such as headstands,
shoulder stands, the lotus position, and forceful breathing.
 Be aware that bikram yoga (“hot yoga”) has special risks related to
overheating and dehydration.
 Pregnant women, older adults, and people with health conditions should
talk with their health care providers and the yoga instructor about their
individual needs. They may need to avoid or modify some yoga poses and
practices.
