The five components of physical fitness work together to create a healthy balance.

Cardio respiratory (or Heart and Lung Endurance)

Walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, and aerobic exercises increase cardio respiratory endurance.

Cardio respiratory endurance or cardiovascular conditioning is the ability to

do moderate to vigorous activity over a period of time. It shows how well

your heart and lungs work together to supply oxygen to your body during

exertion.

Cardio respiratory endurance activities also burn fat while building

muscle.

Aerobic exercise and activities like walking, jogging, swimming and cycling increase cardio respiratory endurance.
