Physical Activity and Your Heart

The way to fitness is not a simple one, especially not within your body. Fitness requires exercise and exercise requires oxygen, and nutrients to the muscles. The cardiovascular system is the means of which oxygen and nutrients travel to the muscles. The more efficient that oxygen distribution in your body is, the more fit you are, which means that your heart is effectively delivering oxygen throughout your body. When you are fit, your body can move more oxygen per pump than if you were not physically active.
