Why is this important?
Physical fitness has been linked to higher job performance, better concentration, and increased confidence and self-esteem. Adults who are more physically fit are less likely to suffer from stress, anxiety, and depression. In addition, physical fitness helps to develop lifelong habits that can reduce the likelihood of chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart failure.
Strengthening your muscles gives you the ability to perform everyday activities and helps protect your body from injury.
