Physical fitness

Physical fitness is a state of psychological harmony, cardiopulmonary efficiency, controlled weight, muscle strength and joint flexibility. Physiotherapy can broadly be divided into electrotherapy and exercise therapy; both are necessary to attain physical fitness.
Given some limitations, electrotherapy is not readily available for everybody or at all times but exercise therapy is; even when it seems not, achieved with improvisations.
Exercise therapy is the use of various body movements which are based on sound biomechanical principles for the purpose of bringing about therapeutic changes in the human body.
Exercise can be aerobic (when it involves all parts of the body), or anaerobic (when only a part of the body is involved). Aerobic exercise is preferable to attain physical fitness but most importantly, determination and discipline are the drive for this quest.
