What Does Fitness Mean?
Fitness is a way to describe how well your body can adjust to the demands that you put on it. Your body is an amazing machine, the more you use it the better it works. Your entire body will just keep getting stronger to serve you better.

There are five areas of fitness:
1. Flexibility - the range of movement in your joints.

2. Endurance - your ability to work hard over a long period.

3. Strength - the strength of your muscles to carry out physical tasks, such as moving heavy objects.

4. Speed - your ability to move very quickly.

5. Coordination - how you put movements together.
