Today,
weight and body image issues have become
an important concern in Hong Kong among
people of all ages. Many people would misinterpret
the word "fit" to mean of "dieting, weight
loss, or slimness." Actually, however, the
English meaning having of fitness is being
muscular, energetic, alert and not tiring
easily. Fitness can also make you meet your
life's challenges and even emergencies with
ample energy. A good level of fitness comes
from daily exercise. The more you do, the
fitter you'll become! To be fit and healthy,
do remember to enjoy some exercise daily!
