Physical fitness is the result of regular exercise, proper diet and nutrition, and proper rest for physical recovery. Physical fitness is often divided into the following types:
Your ability to move swiftly and while changing direction. Whether you are dodging a runaway shopping cart in a parking lot or making a sharp cut while playing a sport, agility is of great importance.
Your the ability to maintain body equilibrium. It should be rather obvious why good balance is essential to safe and effective movement.
Your ability to produce harmonious functioning of muscles or groups of muscles in the execution of movements. This is about combining successive muscle actions to create successful movement. Everything from opening a jar to learning to tango requires good coordination.
Your ability to move through acceptable range of motion. In many ways, the level of success you find in daily movement and in sports play is directly related to the degree of flexibility you possess.
Your ability or capacity to continue to perform effectively for longer periods of time. You don't need marathon levels of endurance. Just enough to allow you to enjoy living without having everything exhaust you.
Your ability to generate a large amount of force irrespective of time. Strength is often one of the most misunderstood components of fitness. It is not about who can bench the most. What it is about is your ability to pick up and put down everything you need or want to as you go through your days – and to do so effectively and without injury.
Your ability to generate a large amount of force in a short amount of time. For example, being able to jump very high is an example of power. But so is pulling the starter cord on a lawn mower.
