There are several components that
contribute to the overall health of your body:
Muscular strength refers to the muscle's ability to do work and muscular
endurance is the ability to contract a muscle repeatedly. A strong
body not only into lends itself to improved physical performance - it
builds confidence and self-reliance.
Cardiorespiratory endurance involves the cardiovascular and
respiratory systems and their ability to adapt to and recover from
physical activity. Healthy heart and lungs are vital to sustaining daily
activities as well as sports performance.
Flexibility means the range of motion around a joint. With
increased flexibility, you are able to work muscles over a greater range
of motion, making everyday tasks such as reaching and bending easier.
Nutrition is the process by which we assimilate food and use it
for growth and for replacement of tissues. Foods that are rich in
vitamins and minerals fuel our bodies so we are physically and mentally
on top of our game.
Lifestyle refers to the way one lives and reflects one’s
attitudes and values. When our style of living supports what we value,
we live with integrity, balancing body, mind and spirit.
