Fitness Term Paper Overview of Fitness and Exercise Fitness is defined as the quality or state of being fit (Merriam-Webster). Exercise is defined as physical activity at higher than normal levels of exertion. (Donetelle). These two words are a sort of yin and yang of each other. To be fit, one must exercise and exercising only leads to being fit. II Summary of Research I have found that most people are not too concerned with how they look or what shape their body is in. About twenty-two percent of all Americans engage in at least thirty minutes of moderate physical exercise while fewer than ten percent exercise enough to improve overall fitness (Donetelle). Common excuses I have heard are: “I don’t have enough time” – “I don’t have anywhere to exercise” – “I don’t care”. Well, to rebut these comments, time is easy to find, you don’t need a “place” to exercise, and you should care because you will have this body for the rest of your life.
