Balance underpins all the different components of fitness, however ask any two different fitness fanatics with varied interest, they would often describe their chosen interest as the key component of fitness.
Almost everyone you speak to about fitness will have a different view as to what is the best method and what is important. These views are heavily influenced by our exposure, interest, role models, etc. Some would prefer thesleek Hollywood body, others would prefer the body of six times Mr. Olympia champion James 'Flex' Lewis, or some may even strive for the perfect hourglass figure (see images below).
Total fitness is not limited or defined by our appearance but is defined by the condition of being physically fit and healthy. The best way of assessing a person’s fitness, is to consider the ‘Five Components of Fitness’. This offers the best method of gauging how good a shape we are truly in. The 5 components that make up total fitness are:
It is not simply enough to say that I am fit because I can bench press an impressive amount or you are fit because you can run a mammoth amount of miles, the five components above are all interlinked, which cannot be defined by appearance alone or a single component from the list.
But the truly most important building block of this linkage is ‘Balance’ which is achieved through the core. If the core is not balanced then the limbs cannot speak to each other, meaning the components do not come together to give us total fitness.
This is the very reason why sports men and women spend hours working on their core, firstly to gain performance and secondly to prevent injuries. This very principle of gaining performance whilst at the same time preventing injuries, is applicable even more to us ordinary beings with an interest in fitness or our health.
