Components of Physical Fitness

What is Physical Fitness?

Physical fitness is the ability in which your body can deal with day to day tasks at varying difficulty levels and tempos. It's being able to do basic physical activities at an efficient rate in which your body works well to first do the exercises, but then also to recover from them and prepare energy for the next. And it is also to be able to be flexible enough to avoid or reduce the risks of injury and again to recover from them if they do come about.
