Which ones do YOU need to work on?!

There are ten recognized general physical skills. They are cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. You are as fit as you are competent in each of these ten skills. A regimen develops fitness to the extent that it improves each of these ten skills.

Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance – The ability of body systems to gather, process, and deliver oxygen.
