An average person can be healthy by doing normal walking and by maintaining a diet. But being healthy is different from being fit. Fitness people will have a good muscle mass than healthy people. However someone is fit is healthy too.

Only one time one client my rule

Fitness involves activity of some sort that stimulates various systems of the body and maintains a specific condition within the body. On the other hand, health consists of every system of the body and is only achieved through a lifestyle that supports health.

Learn in a playful way!

In simple terms, fitness means being physically fit. It means a person has proper strength and endurance to do a particular activity. Whereas, health means being fit not just physically but also mentally and emotionally. Health is a broader term than fitness.

Health is very subjective, whereas fitness is always related to our physique. Health could be mental health or physical health, which is not related to how many kilometres you can walk every day or how many pushups you can do in one minute.

Health has many aspects, such as physical, mental, and emotional. On the other hand, fitness is the physical component of health.Being healthy does not mean you are free from disease.Fitness is measurable, but health is not measurable.
