Define Physical Fitness

What is your perception of the term physical fitness. How do you define it? If you were to start a new fitness program today how would you start? Are you unsure what is fact or fiction? If so you are not alone.

Let's start with the term itself. Merriam-webster.com defines it as: the quality or state of being fit.  Kind of vague huh? I think in simple terms this means are you healthy or not? Are you over weight for you age and height? Are your muscles being used adequately? What is the state of your cardiovascular health?


Let's face it, our culture has gotten lazy. We no longer have to work for anything? It used to be that we had to hunt and gather or farm. Now we can simply drive our cars through the drive thru or to a store to get food. And what we are ingesting is no good for us. 

Being physically fit is now something we have to think about. It seems like a chore instead of a way of life. In my personal life, I've learned to reverse that way of thinking.
