Wellness, Health, and Fitness

Well it’s very important to have wellness in your life. Although I don’t know the definition but I found a brilliant quote by Charles B. Corbin of Arizona State University that say “Wellness is a multidimensional state of being describing the existence of positive health in an individual as exemplified by quality of life and a sense of well-being.” It brings peace of mind and harmony to your life and health is the most important aspect in everyone’s life. Every one needs a good diet and to get plenty of exercise which relates a lot with Fitness. Fitness means Good health or physical condition, especially as the result of exercise and proper nutrition. And now days to many Americans health is not a aspect and most Americans don’t really keep track of their health. These three terms are very important but without balance are useless. Balance is the ability to maintain a specific body positions in either a stationary or dynamic situation.

Here are a couple of them that are very useful when try to balance wellness, health and fitness.

• Balance is the ability to maintain a specific body positions in either a stationary or dynamic (moving) situation.

• Coordination is the ability to use all body parts together to produce smooth and fluid motion.

• Agility is the ability to change direction quickly.

• Reaction time is the time required to respond to a specific stimulus.

• Speed is the ability to move rapidly. Speed is also known as velocity (rate of motion).

• Power is the product of strength and speed. Power is also known as explosive strength.

• Mental capability is the ability to concentrate during exercise to improve training effects as well as the ability to relax and enjoy the psychological benefits of activity (endorphins).

• Social health-The ability to interact well with people and the environment and to have satisfying personal relationships.

• Mental health-The ability to learn and grow intellectually. Life experiences as well as more formal structures (e.g., school) enhance mental health.

• Emotional health-The ability to control emotions so that you feel comfortable expressing them and can express them appropriately.

• Spiritual health-A belief in some unifying force. It varies from person to person but has the concept of faith at its core.
