What does it mean to be "fit"

[BIG EDDY]

I just read this, and I wanted to share...

What does the term "fitness" mean to you? To some people, it may mean
following a regular exercise routine. To others, it may mean being well
toned or muscular. It may mean eating a balanced diet. And still to
others, it can mean the ability to excel in athletics or other physical
challenges. Being fit ultimately refers to your own optimal health and
overall well being. Fitness pertains to all aspects of your life -
physical, emotional and mental. When you are fit, you have: -Stamina and
a positive outlook that enable you to handle the mental and emotional
challenges of everyday life -Physical strength and endurance to
protect yourself in an emergency situation (e.g., leaving a burning building
quickly; protecting yourself against an attacker) -Reduced risk for
many health problems, such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes -The
opportunity to look and feel your best; a better chance for a longer and
healthier life.
