A per­son may be said to be totally phys­i­cally fit if he func­tions as a total per­son­al­ity with effi­ciency and with­out pain or dis­com­fort of any kind. This is to have a Pain­less, Tire­less, Age­less body. One pos­sess­ing suf­fi­cient mus­cu­lar strength and endurance to main­tain a healthy pos­ture and suc­cess­fully carry on the duties imposed by life and the envi­ron­ment. To be able to han­dle emer­gen­cies and have enough energy for recre­ation and social oblig­a­tions after the “work day” has ended. It is to meet the require­ments of his envi­ron­ment through pos­sess­ing the resilience to recover rapidly from fatigue, ten­sion, stress and strain of daily liv­ing with­out the aid of stim­u­lants, drugs or alco­hol. To be able to enjoy nat­ural recharg­ing sleep at night and awaken fit and alert in the morn­ing for the chal­lenges of the new fresh day ahead.
