In order to experience overall fitness you need to be fit in each of the following 4 elements or areas of your life. If one part is not fit all the other parts will be affected and you'll soon find yourself suffering from aches, pains and illnesses.

ARE YOU TRULY FIT?

Element # 1 - Body Fitness

Blood pressure, weight, waist to hip measurements, body mass index

Your body is a well designed machine - each part of it functions well because of the supportive roles that the other parts play.

Your heart pumps oxygen rich blood to each cell in your body so that it can perform its duty. Your lungs supply your heart with that necessary oxygen. Your brain keeps everything working, even those things that you don't think about doing.

Your job is to give your body what it needs to continue to perform correctly. To do its job correctly your body needs to be fit and physically able.
