Physical Fitness – Meaning of physical fitness
Physical fitness means that our bodies are strong, healthy, and ready for action. When we are physically fit, we can do many activities without getting tired too quickly.
Being physically fit means our heart is strong, our muscles are powerful, and our body is flexible. It’s like having a superhero body!

Physical fitness is essential because it helps us:
- Stay healthy and free from sickness.
- Have the energy to play and enjoy sports and games.
- Feel good about ourselves and our bodies.
- Be strong and ready for daily activities like walking, running, and playing.
How to Stay Physically Fit:
We can stay physically fit by:
