5 Components of Physical Fitness
Some recent studies have suggested that it is possible for people to be both fat and
fit.
The research equated the definition of fit with being healthy.
In other words, it
found that people could be obese but still have healthy cholesterol, blood sugar,
and blood pressure levels.

health measures.
Here are the 5 components of fitness.
1.
Cardiovascular Endurance
Cardio helps improve the function of your lungs, heart, and vascular system.
Technically, cardio is any activity which lasts longer than 90 seconds.
This could
be anything from a simple aerobics routine to a more advanced HIIT workout
routine.

Muscular Strength
Muscular strength is defined as the greatest amount of force a muscle can exert in a
single effort.
A proper strength training routine helps to build muscular strength.
This is an anaerobic activity.
