National Employee Health & Fitness Day was created to promote the benefits of physical activity for individuals through their work site health promotion activities.

There are two types of fitness:

Performance-related fitness - Linked to athletic performance and is tied to speed, reaction time, and coordination.

And Health-related fitness - Linked to fitness components that may lower risks such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or low back pain.

Health-related physical fitness includes:

Aerobic fitness – which is the ability of the heart and lungs to deliver blood to muscles

Muscular strength and endurance – enough to do normal activities easily and protect the low back

Flexibility – which is the ability to move your many joints through their proper range of motion

Body composition – not too much body fat, especially around the waist.
