What is fitness and wellness?

Wellness on the other hand covers a broad range of health related aspects of an individuals life such as developing healthy habits both physically and mentally. There is a link between fitness and wellness, a physically fit person is often mentally healthier, at the same time, a person with a balanced life as part of their wellness will often lead to being fitter from the healthy habits developed.
