We know moving our bodies is important to our health but we often forget all the elements of physical fitness.
Do you have endurance? The ability of your heart, lungs, and blood vessels to supply oxygen to your body tissues during sustained physical activity. What about muscular strength? The maximum amount of force a muscle group can exert in a single effort. Also important is muscular endurance- the ability of your muscles to perform continuous, repeated contractions against resistance over a period of time without fatiguing. As we age, flexibility plays a super important role- the range of motion available at a given joint, which is crucial for injury prevention and posture. And last but not least, body composition- the ratio of fat, bone, muscle, and water within the body.
Keep all these components in mind when you're making decisions to move your body daily!
