The highest quality of life includes physical, emotional, social, mental and spiritual components.
A high level of fitness in one of these areas enhances the other areas, and a low level in any of
the areas restricts achievements possible in other areas.
Through fitness we not only increase the performance of our physical activities but also
enhance our emotional stability, social confidence, and mental alertness/clarity.
