Fitness

MENS SANA IN CORPORE SANO is a Latin phrase for the ultimate measure of fitness—“A Sound Mind in a Healthy Body.”

John Locke a famous scholar-philosopher, physician and medical researcher has summarized it:

A sound mind in a healthy body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this world: he that has these two, has little more to wish for;

and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

Fitness training should help people to attain the fitness they need to live long and well—to be strong, flexible, healthy and resilient, in mind and body—throughout their lifespan.
