You might have seen those Shaolin monks, on the television. You might have seen the years of dedication they gave to develop themselves as they are. And then people think that is it extraordinary for them to do so.

In the same manner, you may also think that it may take hours and hours of your life as you build lean muscle mass in your body, going to gym every day.

It is not like that. What you see, is not what it is all the time.

If we describe what fitness is, here is what you can find on Wikipedia:

“Physical fitness is a general state of health and well-being or specifically the ability to perform aspects of sports or occupations. Physical fitness is generally achieved through correct nutrition, exercise, hygiene and rest. It is a set of attributes or characteristics that people have or achieve that relates to the ability to perform physical activity.”

You might also want to know that recent research has pointed out the benefits of physical exercise, on the working of the brain. It indicated that blood circulation to the brain increases, which improves its functioning.

That ...
... may be great, especially for those who are into work that involves excessive use of Brain power.

So, it is known that physical fitness and mental health are correlated. Thus, a daily exercise routine is beneficial for the overall well-being of the body.

It’s all about you after all, and your own physical self.

Then, we can guess that those monks surely must be in a perfect state of mental health. If you go by their philosophy, the mind and body are related and co-dependent on one another for existence. An effect on one of them also manifests on another. If the mind is not in good health, physical well being is affected. Visa versa, if body is not in good state, the mind is not in good health.

Fitness is measured on the following parameters if we go by medical jargons:

1. Cardio respiratory endurance

2. Muscular strength

3. Muscular endurance

4. Body composition

5. Flexibility

These five parameters are used internationally, to judge and gauge a person’s physical fitness levels.

A person, who is scores good in these parameter has a great physical fitness.
