Back to Basics

Welcome to 5.14 Fitness,


Just some basic information on key terms and technology.


Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, not merely the absence of disease of infirmity.
What this means is that health concerns many things including some like mental and social wellbeing, which many would not have realised.


Physical is about the body; muscles, heart rate, sports etc.
Mental is about your mind-set; how you think and feel
Social is how you interact with others: being part of a team and making friends
