Definition and Meaning
• Fitness incorporates physical & mental health as well as emotional satisfaction & self-awareness.
• Exercise 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."

Exercise 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.

“What Type of Exercise Should I Do?”
The main goal of aerobic exercise is to keep the heart elevated for an extended period of time for the purpose of strengthening the heart and lungs.
The most common aerobic exercise is walking. It is easy to do. You have been doing it since you were a toddler. Increase the pace, and walking turns into an aerobic exercise. But, if you are more advanced or are easily bored, then you can move on to jogging or running.
Running also tones your calves and thighs.
Other aerobic exercises could include: Bicycling, hiking, basketball, swimming, golf, tennis, etc.
Aerobic exercise should be done a minimum of 3 days a week, but 5 to 6 is recommended. The important thing is to pick something that interests you. If you like what you are doing, you will be more likely to stick with it.

“The glory of young men is their strength.”
Therefore, strength training—also known as toning and weight lifting—is also a very good exercise. Through moderate toning, you gain muscle definition and increased bone mass, which helps to prevent diseases such as osteoporosis.
Interestingly, every extra pound of muscle that you have burns 50 calories a day just to maintain its mass. So, if you gain five pounds of muscle, then an extra 250 calories per day is burned! (3,500 calories equal one pound of fat.)
The easiest way to implement a strength training program is to use your own weight as resistance. For example, push-ups are great for strengthening the chest muscles. Yet simultaneously, they strengthen your upper back, biceps, triceps and shoulders.
However, strength training should be done no more than three times a week. You should pick one exercise for each body part. Never train the same body part two days in a row, or you will overwork the muscle, possibly causing injury.
