As our understanding of what constitutes a healthy life style has evolved, many definitions of fitness have been offered.  Traditionally, a person was "Fit" simply if he/she was not sick.  Some people associate fitness with athletic prowess. Strength, speed, power, agility and coordination are components of fitness for the athlete, but these attributes are not necessarily the keys to lifetime adult fitness.

Many years ago, a comprehensive study determind that there were certain behaviors associated with favorable health status and are important in achieving "fitness".

These healthy habits still hold true today:

- not smoking

- avoiding excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages

- maintaining desirable weight

- sleeping 7-8 hours a night

- exercising

- eating a nutritious breakfast daily

- avoiding snacks

Why a Fitness Evaluation?

It is helpful and often beneficial to undergo a physician's exam on a routine basis. However, these exams have traditionally been designed to assess the absence or presence of disease.  The fitness evaluation on the other hand, assesses the wellness of an individual and one's potential for fitness improvement.

Information gained from a fitness test can help in the design of an exercise program which meets the goals consistent with optimal fitness.
