PHYSICAL FITNESS

Body composition is the proportion of fat and fat-free mass in the body. It is common for people to gain weight and increase body fat as a result of a lack of exercise and poor nutritional habits.
If you're physically fit you'll look better, feel better and perform better. The only way to improve your physical fitness is through exercise. Exercise improves endurance and strength while reducing excess body fat and increasing muscle tone.
