5 COMPONENTS OF
PHYSICAL FITNESS
MUSCULAR STRENGTH-This is the "power"
that helps you to lift and carry heavy objects.
April 2016
MUSCULAR ENDURANCE- Endurance is the
ability of your muscles to perform contractions
for extended periods of time. Rather than just
lifting or carrying something for a few seconds,
the muscles are used for minutes.
Physical Fitness Focus
CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE- Your
body's ability to keep up with exercise like
running, jogging, swimming, cycling, and
anything that forces your cardiovascular
system (lungs, heart, blood vessels) to work
for extended periods of time.

often overlooked components of physical
fitness. Without flexibility, the muscles and
joints would grow stiff and movement would
be limited. Flexibility training ensures that
your body can move through its entire
range of motion without pain or stiffness

WALK AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE-Walk during
your lunch breaks or take the stairs instead of
the elevator.
MOVE AROUND THE OFFICE-Instead of
phoning a coworker in the office, walk to
their desk in person, and take the time to get
up and stretch whenever you can.
DON’T SKIP BREAKFAST- Skipping breakfast is
a no-no because since your metabolism
slows when you’re asleep, eating a few hours
shortly after you wake up will boost your
metabolism.
DRINK LOTS OF WATER-Studies have shown
that drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day can
promote weight loss.
DON’T SNACK- Over 40% of office workers
surveyed had gained 6 pounds a year just
from snacking! Stay away from the tortilla
chips at the vending machine and try a
piece of fruit instead.
