Fitness is like a chameleon. It changes its look or meaning depending on the situation. A professional athlete doesn't consider her or himself fit unless they are performing at the highest level possible. An untrained person may consider himself or herself fit if they can perform day to day activities without discomfort. Even large health and fitness organizations have somewhat varied opinions of the definition of fitness.

"The ability to perform muscular work satisfactorily."
- The World Health Organization

"The ability to carry out daily tasks with vigor and alertness, without undue fatigue and with ample energy to enjoy leisure-time pursuits and to meet unforeseen emergencies."
- President's Council on Physical Fitness

"Fitness is the ability to perform moderate to vigorous levels of physical activity without undue fatigue and the capability of maintaining such ability throughout life."
- American College of Sports Medicine
