The condition of your heart and lungs and how efficient they are in delivering oxygen via
your blood to your muscles is an important factor to your fitness. Your muscles use this
oxygen to provide enough energy for daily activity. This is called aerobic activity. When
you are fit, your heart will not have to work so hard. It will pump a lot fewer times per
minute, reducing the wear and tear of your heart.
So as you can see, the fitter you are, the healthier and greater you will feel.
