What are the 4 main areas of health fitness ? 

The four main areas of health fitness are:

1. Cardiovascular Endurance: This refers to the ability of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to transport oxygen to the working muscles during sustained physical activity. Activities such as running, cycling, swimming, or other aerobic exercises can improve cardiovascular endurance.
2. Muscular Strength: This refers to the amount of force a muscle can exert against a resistance in a single effort. Strength training exercises like weightlifting, resistance band workouts, or bodyweight exercises can help increase muscular strength.
3. Muscular Endurance: This refers to the ability of the muscles to perform repetitive contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time. Activities such as circuit training, high-repetition weightlifting, or bodyweight exercises can help increase muscular endurance.
4. Flexibility: This refers to the range of motion around a joint. Stretching exercises like yoga, Pilates, or static stretches can improve flexibility. Good flexibility can also help reduce the risk of injury during physical activity.
