How do you know when you are fit? First of all there is no one definition for fitness. It is always a combination of how your strength, flexibility and endurance serve YOU in your current goals. A woman at 9 months into a pregnancy is perfectly fit to give birth but NOT to run a marathon. So how do you know when you are fit?

However did you know that this measure was invented around 1830 by a statistician? Even the Math Guy on NPR as taken to time to debunk it's use.
