focus on health-related fitness for our purpose of creating personal

fitness components in future lessons. Each of these will become a part
of your personal fitness program.The podcasts for this lesson will explain in more detail the two types of physical fitness. Each is about ten minutes long. The first podcast, "Welcome to Health-Related Fitness," will introduce you to Dr. Jeff Cherubini, his credentials, and his target audience.
