<p style="text-align: left;">To be fit, that was most everybody wants to achieve while they are living and enjoying with their life.  This are some types of fitness that people needs to develop.</p></p>

<p><strong>Stamina</strong> - This is a combination of cardio-respiratory endurance and muscular endurance.</p>

<p><strong>Cardio-respiratory endurance</strong> - this is the ability of the heart and lungs to some get oxygen to the muscles, the reason for this is that the muscles can perform for a long time. This type of fitness can be developed by exercising in your training zone with just at lease 3 times per week for a duration of at least 20 minutes.</p>

<p><strong>Muscular endurance</strong> -this is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to perform for a long time. This can be developed only through weight lifting and some exercises such as press ups, sit-ups etc. TThe only important point to note about developing muscular endurance is that you must exercise with high reps and low weight to get the desired effect.</p>

<p><strong>Strength</strong> - This is the greatest force that a muscle can produce in pushing, pulling, lifting or striking actions. This type of fitness is usually developed by  just following a weight lifting program. An important point to remember is to exercise with just a low reps and high weight.</p>

<p><strong>Speed</strong> - This is how muscles in the joint can move quickly. This can also be apply to the movement
of the whole body, or to the movement of a part of the body, specially the arm.</p>

<p><strong>Power</strong> - it is the ability of the body to produce an explosive effort. It was created with the
combination of strength and speed.</p>

<p><strong>Flexibility or suppleness</strong> - stretching muscles, that is its ability, so that a joint has a large range of movement. Flexibility can be affected by injury, muscle, tendons, ligaments and skin.</p>]]></content:encoded>
