The article from MSN explores the concept of fitness beyond just physical appearance, delving into what it truly means to be fit. It discusses a comprehensive fitness test conducted by the author, which included various physical assessments like cardiovascular endurance, strength, flexibility, and body composition. The test was inspired by the Australian Sports Commission's guidelines, which define fitness through several components including aerobic fitness, muscular strength, flexibility, and body fat percentage. The author underwent tests like the beep test for cardiovascular endurance, push-ups and sit-ups for strength, and a sit-and-reach for flexibility.
