As example, I am 75% weight training, 15% aerobics, and 10% stretching. Why? I am 20 to 30 lbs underweight. Whereas, if I ws overweight, then it my aerobics or cardio if you want to call it, would be higher..
Just my opinion.
"Fitness" to me includes:
1. Body composition
2. Body flexibility
3. Endurance
4. Aerobic capacity
5. Strength
6. Spiritual dimension in life - in some aspect
7. Mental health
and probably some more.
