The Real Definition Of Physical Fitness
Many people have their own definition of fitness. The problem is that most people have subconsciously picked up their definition of physical fitness from the media. In my experience, any thought or belief brought on by the media isn?t the one you should believe. The media tends to give us the wrong perceptions about almost everything. We subconsciously pick up on the subtle innuendos on fitness and they become lodged in our thought process. Things such as ?if you don?t have 6 pack abs, you aren?t in shape?, ?only those with huge muscles are physically fit?, or ?big muscles are what make a person strong?.
