Abstract
This article argues that physical fitness enhances enjoyment of life, and discusses the four major elements of fitness: strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance and flexibility. A description of the processes by which these factors can be increased follows. A simple and informative 5-test fitness assessment is advocated. This involves recording systolic and diastolic blood pressure, skinfold estimation of body fat, the step-up test for aerobic fitness, sit-and-reach test for flexibility and sit-ups to measure abdominal strength.
