What is fitness?Fitness is a concept that can be hard to define but easy to recognize when you see the real thing.
To some, being fit means looking like a model or bodybuilder, while to others it means being able to run a marathon or being able to lift more weight than all of their friends.
Is this really enough? Absolutely not! These definitions are too limited and one-dimensional.
At the most basic level, fitness should mean the ability to meet your daily challenges in life with a little left over for emergencies. To carry this one step further, fitness could be defined as a state of peak levels of strength, power, endurance, flexibility, coordination and general health in addition to an optimal level of bodyfat that allows a person to participate in life to its fullest, free of preventable health risk factors. This level of fitness is a step above simple health and wellness. This is a level of fitness that will not leave you wanting for more strength, power, endurance, etc. when presented with an unexpected challenge or attempting a new sport or activity.
This level of fitness should be a prerequisite for everyone regardless of their ultimate goal or their chosen sport or profession. If a person’s workouts are based on this definition of fitness, the specific needs of their sports, professions and daily activities will be more easily met.

TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Chinup/Ring Pushup Supersets
This afternoon I spent some quality time in my gym doing supersets of chinups and ring pushups (pushups on gymnastic rings set a few inches above the floor). I kind of lost count of the number of supersets, but it was enough to leave a mark.
