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.

Health: Health includes ‘physical being’, ‘mental being’, ‘emotional being’. Being healthy denotes your inner power to fight against diseases. Health is more about inner wellbeing. Being healthy will always lead you to be fit. Fitness: Fitness includes your physical being. Being fit denotes your physical look, your weight, your body shape. Fitness is more about the outer being. Being fit doesn’t always lead to being healthy. To summarizing, you can be firm but not healthy. Health is a broader concept that includes fitness. Fitness can be achieved by short term proper nutrition and exercises for a specific task. Health is more a long-term process, which leads you to a healthy life. read less

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.
