Components of Fitness

Fitness plays a key role in our overall wellness for many reasons - living life fit positively affects both our physical and mental longevity.

​

Being fit does not have to mean spending hours in the gym.  There are many ways to move and stay fit.

​

I want to help you create a sustainable fitness routine that serves you best.

​

We can organize fitness into four major health-related components:

​

Cardiorespiratory Fitness: our ability to perform large muscle, dynamic movements for durations of 10+ minutes.

​

Muscular Fitness: our ability to perform maximal muscular contractions (strength) and to perform muscular contractions repeatedly over time (endurance). 

​

Flexibility:  our ability to move our joints through a full range of motion.

​

Body Composition:  our ratio of fat mass (visceral and subcutaneous fat) to lean mass (muscles, organs, bones).  Both exercise and nutrition influence our body composition.

​

A balanced fitness routine contains all components of fitness.  The frequency (how often), intensity (how hard), and time (how long) you exercise will depend on many factors. 

​

Let's work together to build a routine you are pumped about!
