Physical fitness isn't just about working out, or even just doing
cardio exercises. Physical fitness is about being lean, flexible,
muscular, and strong - about motor fitness skills, about agility, about
coordination and balance. Having a balanced body will help in so many
areas of your life. Exercises and stretching, such as with Yoga and
Pilates, can increase your core and abdominal strength and give you a
lean waist. Weight training increases your ability to burn fat and
increases your metabolism. Cardio fitness increases heart health,
circulation, and stamina. Stretching increases flexibility. Everything
works together to create a lean and fit body and focusing on all aspects
of physical fitness will give you a well-rounded and healthy lifestyle.
