You do not have to be an athlete to be physically fit and reap the benefits of physical activity.  Briefly describe the benefits of each component of physical fitness.  Determine which benefits you believe are most important in terms of health and explain your reasoning.  Provide evidenced-based findings to support your claims.  Next, provide an example workout routine for each of the five components using your text as a guide.  You may keep the warm-up and cool-down parts of the workout the same for all five examples.
