ACSM and NASM, Health-Related Physical Fitness (specifically) is defined as: "the ability of an individual to perform the physical demands of daily activities and recreational athletics and still have the energy to cope with the challenges of life." The 5 components of physical fitness that are shared and taught to trainers around the country are:

But what did they forget?
They only touch on ‘physical fitness’—this isn’t enough for us. 80% of individuals are NOT meeting their health-related fitness goals. It can’t be a lack of resources; instead it must be the programming. We’ve got to make a shift in how we see fitness. 80% of the issue is nutrition, so why spend 80% of your time on exercise when there is so much to get accomplished? We need to shift where and how we spend our time.

You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to start getting M.E.S.H.E.D. up today!
