Physical fitness refers to the ability of your body system to work
together efficiently to allow you to be healthy and perform activities in daily
living. To be physically healthy, you should engage daily in physical activities
as possible with less effort.
Some people today spend most of their time on their computers and
gadgets while some give time to do an exercise. In this module, we will tackle
how you turn your physical inactivity into physical activity to make yourself
physically fit.

Four Types of Exercise Can Improve Your Health and Physical Ability
“Physical Fitness is a state of health and well-being and, more specifically, the
ability to perform aspects of sports, occupations, and daily activities. Physical fitness
is generally achieved through proper nutrition, moderate-vigorous physical exercise,
and sufficient rest.” (Introduction to Nutrition and Physical Fitness, 2020)
We can say that you are physically active if you engage in bodily movement
produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditures. On the other hand,
we can identify a person who is physically
inactive if he/she did not get recommended
level of regular physical activity.

Now that you know the benefits when you prioritize physical fitness. Let us now
go deeply about fitness and how you can go in achieving it.
“There are five components of physical fitness. They are the blueprint for the
American College of Sports Medicine's (ACSM's) physical activity guidelines and
serve as a helpful tool for organizing and executing your well-balanced workout
routine” (Williams, 2020).

Personal Barriers
Lowe (n.d.) added in her article, “a 2013 study that aimed to identify the external
and internal barriers to physical activity and exercise participation among middle-aged
and elderly individuals the most common external barriers among the middle-aged and
elderly respondents were 'not enough time', 'no one to exercise with' and 'lack of
facilities'. The most common internal barriers for middle-aged respondents were 'too
tired', 'already active enough', 'do not know how to do it and 'too lazy', while those for
elderly respondents were 'too tired', 'lack of motivation' and 'already active enough'.”
Environmental Barriers
She also introduces that, “the environment in which we live has a great
influence on our level of physical activity. Many factors in our environment affect us.
Obvious factors include the accessibility of walking paths, cycling trails, and recreation
facilities. Factors such as traffic, availability of public transportation, crime, and
pollution may also have an effect. Other environmental factors include our social
environment, such as support from family and friends, and community spirit. It is
possible to make changes in our environment through campaigns to support active
transportation, legislation for safer communities, and the creation of new recreation
facilities”.
How do we solve the common barriers to adopting a physically active lifestyle?
According to Lowe (n.d.),” health care professionals can help to identify barriers
to exercise and make suggestions for how they can overcome these barriers”.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention makes suggestions for
overcoming physical activity barriers:

What’s More
In the article cited on the website of Mana Medical Associates (n.d.), “physical
activity and exercise are important to everyone. Children, adolescents, and adults of
all ages need regular physical activity. Physical activity promotes good health, and you
should stay active throughout all stages of your life regardless of your body type or
BMI. Understanding the benefits of physical fitness and knowing how active you
should be can help you maintain good health and improve your overall quality of life.
Here are a few benefits of regular physical activity that demonstrate the importance of
physical fitness”.
Save money
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, chronic diseases
cause 7 out of 10 deaths in the U.S. and treating chronic diseases accounts for 86%
of U.S. healthcare costs. While some diseases cannot be prevented, you can reduce
your risk for certain diseases – such as heart disease and diabetes – by reducing risky
behaviors and living a healthy lifestyle.
Making healthy choices, such as engaging in
regular physical activity, can reduce your risk for
many health issues and complications that can
result in expensive medical care. (Mana Medical
Associates, n.d.)

that people who are more active tend to be healthier and tend to live longer. (Mana
Medical Associates, n.d.)
Stay active
Staying active and healthy allows
you to do activities that require a certain
level of physical fitness. For example,
hiking to the top of a mountain is a
rewarding experience that instills a sense
of accomplishment and provides
spectacular scenery, but some people
cannot experience this due to fitness
limitations. (healthyeating, n.d.)
But even walking around the zoo with
your family or playing on the playground with your children can be challenging for
those who neglect physical activity for extended periods of time. Being active means
that it’s easier to stay active as you get older. (Mana Medical Associates, n.d.)

risk for some cancers. In other words, staying active is a crucial part of maintaining
good health and wellness. (Mana Medical Associates, n.d.)

home that may result in you becoming physically active. Follow the example below:
