 Physical fitness simply is the

ability of your body to work
together efficiently.

to do daily activities with least amount of
effort. A fit person is able to carry out the
typical activities of living, such as work,
and still have enough energy and vigor to
respond to emergency situations and to

 The ability to handle the task
performed in every day life with
enough energy in reserve to enjoy
leisure pursuits and deal with
