![]() ![]() So what do we mean when we talk about our physical fitness? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), physical fitness is defined as “the ability to carry out daily tasks with vigor and alertness, without undue fatigue, and with ample energy to enjoy leisure-time pursuits and respond to emergencies.” Based on this definition, fitness involves everything from getting out of bed to hiking to performing CPR. When someone refers to your physical fitness, they are not talking about your general health, although the two are interrelated. Let’s get a basic understanding of each component: These three components are NOT synonyms but they are interrelated. Those components are fitness, health, and wellness. If you really want to be a good steward of the body God has gifted you, then you should understand there are three core components you need to steward as part of the overall stewardship of your body. Those are good steps, but there’s more to being a good steward of your physical body than that. You get one physical body for this life, so rational thought would lead us to think we would be great stewards of them.Įven when we begrudgingly acknowledge that maybe we should “take better care of ourselves,” we tend to think that means doing something like cleaning up the content of our nutritional intake and adding some exercise to our lives. What we often give little thought to is that our physical bodies are one of the greatest blessings - and stewardships - God has given us! Or you might think of the teaching Jesus offered relating to stewardship. When most people hear the term “stewardship” they probably relate it to how they manage or spend their money.
