"The Way to Health & Vitality"
How do you define physical fitness? Well it is not about how muscular you look, rather it is simply your ability to carry on with your regular activities with appropriate energy levels yet after the entire day you do not feel stressed out or at least can handle various pressures effectively.
Physical fitness is defined by certain individual components including, muscular strength, and muscular endurance, composition of your body mainly related to the ratio of fat in body, flexibility and lastly cardio respiratory endurance.
If you are able to make slight changes in the following factors you can actually reach the ultimate physical fitness level. Like reducing the fat content and increasing the muscular endurance.
On the other hand set of factors like your speed, muscle power, coordination between your eyes, hand and foot contributes towards motor fitness, though it has no such role in physical fitness yet if you are an aspiring athlete, then your performance might be effected by these factors. Again if you just merge this motor fitness factor with the general physical fitness components, then no doubt you would be ever energetic and internally very strong.
There are certain basic principles for exercise and one must be adhered to these principles in order to gain long term health benefits. These basic principles are same for everyone be it an athlete or a normal person who might prefer just a jog instead of vigorous exercise.

3. Balancing the exercises
Any exercise would be effective only if it is complete in its own way. This implies that any exercise you undertake must focus on every aspect of physical fitness without giving more importance to any single component.
4. Incorporate variety of exercises
